"Though my heart can't take no more...

...I keep on running back to you." Gotta love that Ashanti.

Anyway, I was here:
I love the Internet. I do. Every single day it makes me go OH DEAR GOD WHY IS HUMANITY SO STUPID (YouTube comment threads are like a party van full of drunken frat boys driving off a cliff, diving through a hoop of fire and then shouting "WOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" into the lamest metaphor ending ever, except everybody is four times more intolerant/racist and 1337 times more pretentious). But at the end of the day, I live for teh intarwubs. It has its moments frequently enough - you know, when it's curled up beside me wearing nothing but a sheet, breathing softly and promising to never leave - that I always come back to it.

Today, I had several of those nice moments, courtesy of Jeffrey Rowland:

The reason I follow @wigu AND @topatoco on Twitter is for tweets like these. The valiant Sir Rowland and his faithful sidekicks (never far behind and always equipped with coconuts) never fail to deliver. Maybe nobody around me right now would get it if I dropped a Contact reference. Maybe noone nearby would laugh at the phrase "pooped in Death's punch bowl". But I would, and so would someone else I'll probably never meet.

So, in conclusion, oh iNtArNeTz: Thanks for the solidarity.
Also I think you gave me herpes of the mind.
