		<description>Yeah, see this event may well be the cute page-6 story that we all love to forward, but when she goes SINGLE WHITE FEMALE on his geeky arse, then we'll all wanna make our MySpace profiles private.

Ok i dont know how many more buzz-phrases i couldve heaped on that paragraph. In all honesty, the notion of how 'technology'has impacted on our social structures has always been difficult to predict. There are elements where we truly have turned into zombies. Hello, im commenting on a blod at 2am. Surely there's some kind of sex i could be having now? who knows. But, as for my personal opinion, (and im a serial bandwagon whore, at the best of times) I think that technologies such as the ones used by NY-Talking-To-Women-In-Real-Life-Scares-Me Guy have added endless layers of diversity to the manner in which we communicate, at least enough to make up for the ones that it has made obselete. i.e We may not write sonnetts, but we do cutting and incisive wall-posts on facebook. 

We have more threads of connection than we ever have before, and i think it changes our perception of relationships. Like, What the hell is a facebook friend, if i havent met them before? Is that friendship still valid? Its changed the way we speak, behave and spend time... perhaps NY-Guy is showing us how we may well all find our new friends of the future?

anyways... argue with me. its not like you know where i live.</description>
