RealAudio/Videos

All right... does anyone actually listen/watch the things? I know I look like a freaking idiot and all, so I was just curious.

if you think you act and look terrible, why do real audio entries? why put up 40 pictures from your web cam?

Laura (this thing has IP tracking), why don't you just post using your real name/e-mail address? Seriously, nobody's going to lynch you or anything. Nobody cares...

Anyway, the answer is, I don't know. I agree it makes no sense, although Greg does the same exact thing. Maybe we just want solid proof of our ugliness or something. I don't know. Greg?

Yeah, Katie hit the nail on the head. Usually ugly people are the one s that enjoy putting their photos up on the web... thus Katie and my obsession with putting ourselves on the web for the whole world to see.

Like I put in one of my entries, its always the ugly people that show themselves off... like in the race I did a few weeks ago, all the ugly people were the naked ones, while the good looking people were in a hundred layers. Of course, I'm not saying I'm one of the naked ones... I wouldnt do that.

Have any input on this Katie? I think I'm babbling at this point....

Maybe we think that it will boost our self-confidence or something. Like, the more pictures we put up, the better the chances are of there being some decent ones in there. Otherwise, say you have five pictures up. If you're lucky, there's ONE decent one in there. If you have forty, you could have at *least* eight.

Besides, even if I *was* pretty, I wouldn't go around acting like I was damn well aware of it. Good lord, I can't stand people like that. And I can't stand ugly people who think they're cute, either. What the fuck ever happened to a little thing called modesty?

Too funny Katie. Busted her but you were so nice about it.

Thanks for this site. I enjoy visiting!

Nobody's busting anyone... I'm just saying, if you have something to say, don't hide behind another e-mail address.

yeah, I watched it but it get buffering [net congestion] every minute sooo it took me about almost an hour each to listen to both of them. pretty funny though. I could never ever do one of those video things. I always think I look dumb on video.

I don't even have a video camera soo I guess I couldn't do it if I wanted to. I'll stick to real audio. it is exciting though.

I was reading some interview with Moby the other day, and the interviewer asked Moby why, if he thought he was so ugly, were there so many pictures of him. He said something like, if you look at pictures from a really horrible vacation, the vacation seems better through the pictures. Or something like that.

I try to watch/listen to them, but I don't have sound on my computer so it's kind of hard. I usually go to my dad's computer so I can watch/listen, but only if I'm really bored.

I watch and listen to them, there nice to look at. Sometimes you get bored seeing text, a video or voice of the person seems to spruce things up a bit. But the same thing that happened to Amber occured with me as well. It kept getting net congestion and buffering all the bloody time.
