Scribes
saurabh is a manic- depressive graduate student with delusions of
overturning well- established social hierarchies through sheer weight of cynicism. in his spare time he writes self-effacing auto- biographical blurbs.
dan makes things up casually, effortlessly, and often. Never believe a
word he says.
hedgehog burrows between San Francisco and other areas rich in roots and nuts. His father says he is a literalist and his mother says he is very smart. Neither of them say aloud that he should spend less time with blegs and more time out of doors.

It is official. I am too old. Sure, I wear the clothes, I listen to the music, I drink the Red Bull...but I cannot speak the speak.

Blame the sms - squeezing all commincative acts into 160 characters.

Netspeak: The Bane Of The Future!

Ugh... Mmm. You have to love the illiteracy... It gives you that special "I'm better than all of them" feeling when you actually bother to write something on the internet... At least that's always fun..
Oh, by the way... When I read that... illspeak, as I shall call it, I think my IQ plummeted to around ten. I could honestly feel the absence of worry about the world's problems in my mind.. Maybe I should read that more often... O.o

lately all i seem to do is link to commondreams.org. contrary to this article i think the reason is not my electronically-created social discomfort, it's that my friends all link to random things because they are busy.
