True Life v.Internet Life
The reason I love watching True Life is seeing how badly people’s lives are. I might be a masochist, but it makes me feel better watching people ruin themselves. Every True Life episode is a blast, because they’re all about people with some type of problem; there isn’t True Life MY LIFE IS AWESOME! Even if there was, it wouldn’t be fun to watch. If you guys haven’t seen it, watch it on MTV.com.
The latest True Life episode is about people who have a second personality online. One girl is a wannabe pornstar online, another is a sex fanatic, and finally one is a guitar player on second life. The first girl-Judy- has a website postlapsaria, where she does her blog posts and porn shoots. There’s a few things I want to rant about her site. First, she has almost zero visitors that go to her site, which is very sad considering she started it almost two years ago. Second, the website layout isn’t anything to be proud of. Third, she says trying to make a living off her website, but I can’t see her making more than two hundred a month. Funny thing is, there is a scene in the episode where she has to ask this guy to pay her rent. And the guy sends her $500 dollars and asks her to strip on the webcam. Awesome way to make a living. I felt really bad about her website, so I decided to leave a message; I want to help her increase her traffic and maybe make some money. But I haven’t heard from her, so I’m assuming she doesn’t need it cause she has her own sugar daddy. I want one too :’(.
The second person is disgusting. I don’t want to write much about her, because there wasn’t much; she’s ugly, has sex buddies online, and is shy in real life.
The final person, is a Japanese girl living in California that is addicted to second life. She actually met her boyfriend on second life. Awesome. It really didn’t seem like she had any major problems at all; she liked playing guitar and performing shows in second life. At the end of the show she actually went to a venue and played a song, overcoming her fear of stage fright.
Saddest thing is I probably spend more time online than any of these people, which makes me uber geek. 
Yeah.

I agreed to do the show so I could open up the public’s eyes to social anxiety disorder. It put me in the hospital, in court, out of school, etc. But they failed to mention 90% of the important stuff. Take everything you see on tv with a grain of salt. I did everything there but the patched sentence together that I never said, such as a sentence that was something like, “I do this so I don’t have to get a job.” In reality the remember talking about my mothers ultimatum, “Be going to school, ‘get a job’, or move out.” She doesn’t see my website as work. (Probably like a lot of people.) But I know they grabbed that blurb from a totally different conversation. I consider what I do a job. Eghhh. And yeah, this really is me. You sent some traffic to my site and I wanted to see why. I like to have a say at least in some of the thoughts about me.
PS- I’m sifting through my emails slowly, where’d you leave the message? Haven’t been on myspace in days. I’m responding soon to everything. But I don’t need anybody to pay my rent and haven’t for weeeeeks!
