I read somewhere today that the blogosphere ain’t what it used to be, which culminated in a reference to a high school atmosphere. So what? That’s been bloody obvious for the past couple of years, but of course, emotions seem to dictate over logic in such an environment. Anything peer-reviewed turns to mob mentality eventually. The internet brings out both the best and worst in people. It all filters down to picking one’s peers carefully.

I read the very same thing today (coincidence? nah!) but if it is of any help… i know that if I sat behind you in class at high school… I would have pulled your proverbial ‘pig-tails’
ahem, bygones
OH Puffy. Such a flirtacious goldfish you are. It helps bring life to this place;-)
I’d be a football player and Cel a cheerleader and we’d hang out and get drunk and fool around…
(Fuck all changes when you leave high school
)
Oh totally awesome!
Can we make out in a car in a popular makin’ out spot?
Sadie, I daresay that you and I read the same thing. The post in question prompted but one thought in my mean little head – “High school? Cliquey? Jeezus. Pot, meet kettle. Kettle, meet pot.”
Having recently eschewed participation in the high-school bullshit myself, I felt a little self-righteousness was in order.
I was unpopular in highschool…I’m doomed in the blogsphere too!
*shrugs and goes back to her corner*
Silk my darling you would be popular. You’d be in my gang and I was popular at school. Plus we’d have Will and Sadie in our gang!
Party at sadie’s place! I’ll bring the tequila.
You don’t pick your peers in public, do you?
Friends, Dash…not speaking of work colleagues here;-)
