I'm not an anti-social person, I insist. See, I have 184 people on my contact list. Granted only 22 of them are online And only 3 on mobile, which is really fine. Let's just say I enjoy the company. And honestly 22 people is plenty. Even though I only talk to one or two, Besides, I haven’t got much else to do. The thing that I enjoy the most Is the concept of talking coast to coast. I like the little box in a window so blue. And the thought that someone else has one too. I'm not an anti-social person. I'm just a teen Sitting alone in a room. Facing a bright screen As the hours of my life slowly tick away. Before you know it, I've been here all day. But I like the silence. It makes me strong. Sometimes I break it, and play a song. I could surf the web, find something I like. If not I could just play Counter-Strike. But then I stop and begin to think. I've been sitting here all day, no food or drink. And pretty soon I start to stink. I don’t think I can even blink. What if I was to go outside? Would I succeed, if I tried? But the web is so awesome! I laughed and I cried. Sitting very lonely, as the planets collide. Now I feel distraught, Obnoxious to the clocks. Am I really anti-social? Am I starting to rot? Behind these bolts and locks Lies the answer I have sought. I think hard, holding on to my socks. But before I could finish my thought... Ding! You have 1 new message in your e-mail inbox.
