The internetz is for narcissists....and yes, that's how you spell narcissists

I always think that facebook's "25 random facts about you" notes, facebook statuses, myspace statuses, and especially TWITTER, is for narcissists.... And yes, I am one of those addicts- minus the twitter addiction. I still have to poke fun at myself, though.... because I don't want to take myself too seriously, hahaha. I mean, who the EFF cares if you're listening to Jack Johnson (I happen to be listening to him right now) while sipping on the greatest cup of tea of your entire life (yes, doing that too) or about some random, possibly cryptic song lyrics that may or may not describe how you're feeling at that specific moment. Seriously, who the fuck cares? Let me tell you: NOBODY! And yet, I am sooooo addicted to facebook. I'm so narcissistic by my own definition.... What. a. surprise!

The thing is, nobody cares when it's someone else that had to be carried to the ER this weekend, won the Nobel Prize, finally solved world hunger, or has a baby niece (actually, I do, but that's beside the point)... Most people obviously want the entire world to know what THEY'RE up to, cuz... let's face it... you are the center of your universe, and you are the funniest, wittiest, most INTERESTING person you know, and everybody cares.... *whispers: everybody. We crave for attention and reassurance that we are INDEED hilarious to everyone else as much as we are to ourselves, hahaha. You're sure everyone is anticipating your hilarious one-line status, sympathize with you if you're stuck at work with a hangover, or wish you luck if you're in the library finishing 6 papers by Wednesday, or get jealous cuz you're at the beach drinking mojitos, or totally understand your craving for chocolate icecream at 3am in the morning, or "like" whatever cool thing you can concoct in 140 letters or less.... and it's worse with Twitter, I'm assuming, cuz you can put a Twitter-application in your phone... Narcissism on the go!

@Elisa: OMFG I h8 life, I'm going to kill myself, brb, ttyl bb :)

I've had this theory for a while now, that the internetz is for narcissists (myself included) but when I heard that Elizabeth Taylor has a Twitter account, and that she's addicted to it, I felt like the Gods gave me a wink and a thumbs-up on my "Twitter is for Narcissists" theory....

This is how Darwin must've felt when he found those darn little finches.
