"The ocean is a desert with its life underground and a perfect disguise above..." (America)

It's amazing what one can find on the internet. My latest discovery is a blog "community" of people I once knew as peanut-butter-smeared children. Maybe time slips by more purposefully now than it used to... I almost stop feeling young when I read these children's entries about boyfriends and girlfriends, jobs, sex, and car insurance, but I mostly just feel strange and queasy. There's something very mind-twisting about obscene paragraphs typed in the curly pink fonts I adored in junior high.
I'm not shocked at what they write (I live in America too, after all)--it's just the incongruous juxtaposition of kids playing outside in the dirt with online personalities dishing out dirt from their own and others' lives.
Time for a paradigm shift, yes?
