Why ... just why? :-)
I may make this post private as it's a bit of a rant and of somewhat personal nature. So apologies if this shocks any of my rare readers, but your all probably aware of this side of my life anyways, if not, heh you learned something new. Thinking about it what the hell, embrace the relative anonyminity of the web :-)
For some reason, perhaps it because the solstice is approaching and that always gives me a buzz of energy, I decided to trawl through the available talent out there on one of the chat rooms that I sporadically frequent (I say frequent but see later). Which reminds me I really must update my profile, it's so out of date (and no I'm not telling you which one it is, you'd most probably not want to look anyway ... Clever you :-). Anyway diversions aside I thought what the hell why not type in a few details, see whose around in my area (bumped into a few friends profiles as well ... always interesting ;-).
Now I can completely understand that this world we live in is not as open and accepting as it could be, so when someone doesn't have a piccie up I can fully live with that. But, and sometimes, literally, it's a bl**dy big butt, why put a picture or 5 of well you can probably guess what. It's not as if I havn't got one, I know what it looks like, I know they come in different shapes and sizes but purrleeze. If your not comfortable enough (and that's fair enough) to put a face or full (clothed, well mostly ;-) pic in then don't bother at all. I would far rather see what you look like normally and/or read an interesting profile than be faced with ... That ... Filling the screen.
*sigh* .. I suppose this is a very minor rant, but it annoys me, it's not just about sex (I'm 30, I can say that and mean it now ;-). It's about that 'click' when you see someone as they are and being interested in what they have written.
Anyways all that aside I view these chatrooms a bit like a view a standard pub. If I know my mates are in there, no probs I'll go in and find them, but if I'm early I hate going in on my own, I'd far rather hang around outside in the car (a relic of my shyness). Same with chatrooms, very rarely have I entered them. Stupid really, it's not the same, I know it, but tell my subconcious that.
This is heading off topic now so I'll drag it back, reading this back through I think I should point out (to myself at least for later reference) that I'm not moaning about the fact that I'm single (or that I get messaged it seems by balding fat men over the age of 50 ... *sigh* ... A topic for a future rant .. Stop laughing ;-) I'm quite comfortable with that for now. If something happens then it happens, I'm just not out to make it happen ... at the moment.
Now to go completely off topic I've downloaded and fiddled around with Kazaa and lo and behold I have music again (praise be to the assembled gods of broadband). Now to get a cd player in the car and burn off a few discs (naughty me) and I'll have the perfect music to listen to whilst trawling around the country, luckily for me I don't have to give anyone a lift to events cos I'm not sure that many would share my tastes in music. No I've not downloaded Steps yet .... But I'm going to ;-)
