Talk to me, I'm on the couch!

We do twitter, we do facebook. We talk to our friends through texting and email is the standard form of eventual communication. I am one of those to tell the world (including @johncmayer, whom I, of course, follow) if I'm sitting on the couch, started film class, or whether the kids are eating and for what? Shouting at the top of your lungs, standing in front of your house, what you are about to do within the next few minutes, seems like a ridiculous idea... then how is it that doing the same electronically makes way more sense? I wonder if the same part of our brains that came up with reality television allows our culture to introduce such plastic openness into our everyday as we once did coliqual abbreviations... the same ones we use to "keep things simple" as we refuse to speak to one another, even romance the concepts of conversation.

My name is Mills and I am a psychology student. Period. Ready to take on Scientology, "space operas," modern horror films, homophobia AND gay republicans, bad parents and those who refuse to make mistakes, slurpee knock-offs, conservative democrats, mtv, ignorance of socialism, internet buddhists, bacon-eating vegetarians, self-hating americans and patriotic ignorance, birthers, and anyone who doesn't get that "911 is a joke"!
