High school all over again...

For about a month now I have been reading a few blogs daily and following the same bloggers on twitter, when the damn thing is not down. So far what I have learned is that there are cliques. There are the popular girls, the less popular but more intelligent girls, the fuck the world girls, and so on and so forth. Even on twitter they talk to each other but completely ignore anyone else... and it is not that I want "in." I just hate the hypocrisy of it all. The internet is supposed to be this endlessly open and democratic space that welcomes us all. Bullshit. If people gang up on someone or decide to collectively ignore someone there is nothing you can do about it. And I am not saying that this is happening to me or anything like that. I don't think I am on anyone's radar yet. It is just what I have observed in the very short time that I have been blogging and generally paying attention to it all. It's sad. I had hoped for something else but I am not sure that it is out there. I will keep writing because I love it but I won't do it in the hopes of making friends or getting to know interesting people. I will do it for me.
