I think I'm still too young to find it funny, or maybe it's the mood I'm in. But whatever the reason, I just thought it was sad. I watched the last one.

It's basically a collection of people reading from their childhood journals. It's comedic, but I think the idea is pretty brilliant. One of those things that captures what it means to grow up. They're normal experiences, so everyone can relate to them. I think that's what makes them so funny :) http://getmortified.com/videos The last one on the list has to be my favorite (I Hate Drake) :) Oh, I remembered something one of my roommates showed me a while back.

(Like I said, creepy.) I have some Facebook friends that I've only met once or zero times. Most of them are friends of friends or people I met in Gator Freethought. Maybe that'll refresh your memory. I really am curious. According to my server logs, you found my site from Facebook. (Like I said, creepy.) I have some Facebook friends that I’ve only met once or zero times.

I'm not purposely trying to be ambiguous, I just don't remember. I saw something about your summer trip and thought it looked really interesting, and I recognized your face ('ex-Hume' resident? [haha, morbid!] Maybe in a class? "One of those familiar faces"? [some day I want to find out if there are physical features that makes a potentially unknown face seem familiar]). I don't think you know me and I don't think we've talked face-to-face (maybe). I could be wrong. My memory is pretty horrible :) If I remember correctly, I stumbled on The World of Stuff through Google, Facebook, or some sort of e-mail digest.

If you were, you'd be creepy and/or antagonistic. Instead, you're... protagonistic? But really, I wonder: do I know you personally? Do we see or talk to each other often? At least a hint would be nice. All I have to go by are your IP address and your user-agent string (who feels creepy now?) and the fact that you don't seem to sleep.

"We're planning on recording an album as soon as we get a drum set." Aawww! Some of your past journal entries strike me as incredibly insightful, especially for the age you wrote them at. They're honest and witty. I'm too embarrassed to link my old livejournal. I'd like to think that I'm no longer the person I was when I wrote it, and I wouldn't want that to be the only information people know/judge me by. And I think my name is in there somewhere as well. I just realized how creepy I probably seem, remaining nameless and all. I hope I don't seem like a stalker or a troll... :( “If you are lucky enough to own one, you are a face in the crowd.”
