Earlier today I took a nap (as college students are apt to do) and fell asleep with the my iPod playing. I soon found myself having a simple dream that was nothing more than a guitar and music playing, with the strings fretting themselves along with the music. In my dream I realized that this was rather odd - after all, guitars don't tend to play themselves - so I woke myself up, only to realize that song playing in my dream was the one playing on my iPod, and I went from dreaming to waking consciousness without any break in the music. I don't know whether or not the guitar in my dream was playing at the right notes or not, but it was a rather enjoyable experience regardless.

Chatroulette. Maybe you've heard of it. Apparently it's the latest internet craze to go viral, and I'm just a tad hooked. Basically, it's a web site that puts you face to face with a random stranger via webcam. Hilarity, awkwardness, and perversion may ensue. There are TONS of penises out there (apparently masturbating for stranger is a favorite pastime for many people), but there are also a few people willing to have intelligent conversation also. A lot of the time the convos don't go too far, but the other day I did have a wonderful conversation with Kim, a 60+ year old gay engineer from South Dakota, and we discussed our belief systems, the economy, and gay rights. It was quite wonderful. I also met with a girl named Heather, who is quite "chill" (as the kiddies call it nowadays), and we've exchanged SNs and talk off and on every once in a while. It's nice. I'll admit, it was very awkward the first time I tried it out, because I was suddenly thrust into a conversational atmosphere without warning. However, I quickly learned that about 80% of the people on the site will glance at you and click "next" within 3 seconds, so generally the people who actually wait to see what you have to say might be worth talking to you. It gets boring after a while, yet I always manage to keep coming back...
