You know that feeling - the one where you’re a kid in school, you bring this pencil box which you just got and you think is SO cool, happily showing it off to the nonchalant kid who sits next to you, only to hear them say it was the In thing last year, nobody uses pencil boxes like that anymore, laughs, and you feel like a reject?
I’m 25 and i felt like that yesterday:
“Didi! I just put a new playlist on my iTunes, it’s so happy!”
“Who is it?”
“They’re called Vampire Weekend, soooo happy, i like!”
“… Pfft they’re like, so three months ago!”
“
”
“… Dude, they’re not even that, it was longer, like last year!”
“Sorry la. I’m not as cool as you. 
“
I is lo0ser.
Point to note:
Never suggest/tell people in Junk what you’re excited about listening to cos either:
a) They’ve heard/written about it already
b) They’ve already met/interviewed the band/singer
c) It’s not cool enough for them

So i had the chatterbox up for a few months, thinking that maybe people can well, chat on it. That’s what it’s for right?
Instead of chatting it got spammed with:
- ads and links = utterly pointless and unwanted on my side
- random ‘hi’ from strangers = not like i’ll answer every one, i don’t even have time to answer all the ‘post comments’ i get, but i do read them all 
- incredible insults = undesirable
- psychotic (i swear… damn weird) msgs from fictional characters saying things that didn’t make sense
I saw a msg someone left tonight -
missy: jebus. joyce, take this cbox off! the comments are rude, vulgar.. so takde respect. seriously la ppl, clog some other person’s blog. u dun like what’s her, click X. simple. mentality yg memalukan!
Then i thought, hmm. I moderate my comments for the same reason - to keep my online space untarnished and MINE. The chatterbox didn’t achieve what i’d hoped it would, which is random chatting amongst people.
So fuck it.
Haha.
