You don't have a body.
I've been living life through this window that I carry with me. I'm nothing without it and with it I'm merely a host. I've grown to know personality and love through the placement of commas and the tone of short sentences. The occasional .jpg reminds me that there's more to the world than this room with the shaded window over the drone of traffic.
It's hardly a step up from schizophrenia, this life I have made. I'm glued to message windows and facebook notifications, and can honestly say I prefer to meet my friends through this LCD window than face to face. Even my love has rooted itself firmly in this window. Every tap of the return key is another drop of humanity disappearing.
Faces become photoshopped, skin becomes digitized, emotions turn binary.
Sometimes it feels like you don't have a body.

Well then, I suppose that counts me out.
You should go outside.
I hear it's pretty nice.
Out there.
seriously though, you should try going hiking or camping or something away from technology for a bit. it's more fun than you think.

This, is, _the_ perfect description of what the world is turning into. Children don't play outside anymore, they play online. People don't come together anymore to talk, unless it's a chat.
On the other hand, i'm not going outside to socialize anymore either, and i kinda prefer doing all this online. The alcolol is cheaper at home too :P
But i do try to get get friends from different groups together at least once a year to do something social.. drink a beer in a pub, play some pool.. even if all we talk about is computer stuff :)
Anyway, lovely Elliya!
