ladies and gentlemen (and everyone else whom i have failed to mention), i have a confession to make.
for the past three years, i have been thinking in terms of technospeak.
so what is technospeak? other than being a term i just made up on the spot, it refers to the condition where one goes through life thinking about how everything they’re doing offline will soon be published online. i’m talking about going to a picnic, and coming home and immediately logging onto facebook and writing, “GL had fun at the picnic! :)” i’m talking about going shopping, bringing a camera along, photoshopping the pictures to no end when you get back, and posting the pictures under your myspace about me, along with this caption: “hi my name is GL :D i ♥ shopping + friends + hugs!!! i <3 hatuhzzz ;) talk to me♥” i’m talking about recording videos of every. single. fucking. action. you perform in your life, and posting them on youtube. i’m talking about living a real life so you have something to show off in your virtual one.
now why in the world am i talking about this? i’ll give you two reasons. one, i caught myself doing this today while making pasta for my brothers. i was literally seething because i really didn’t want to do it, so my mind drifted to how i’d be blogging about this as soon as i got on the computer (i didn’t. i was too lazy to, unless this counts.) in the middle of forming the sentence “I just don’t understand why they can’t get their own lunches,” I realized what I was doing. And then that made me feel like I had no life. Well actually I don’t, but that’s beside the point.
