Not only philosophers of our own peripatetic school, but critics, prosecuters, and determined adventurers in the insecure trade. Hour after hour we walk over the sand and bareness that is Web 3. I am not David Foster Wallace but I am with what he says about Adderall or his alias Obetrol: "My affinity for Obetrol had to do with self-awareness.. What it felt like was a sort of emergence, however briefly, from the fuzziness and drift of my life in that period. As though I was a machine that suddenly realized it was a human being and didn’t have to just go through the motions it was programmed to perform over and over. It also had to do with paying attention. It wasn’t like the normal thing with recreational drugs which made colors brighter or music more intense. What became more intense was my awareness of my own part in it, that I could pay real attention to it. It was that I could look at, for instance, a dorm room’s walls of institutional tan or beige and not only see them but be aware that I was seeing them—this was the dorm at UIC—and that I normally lived within these walls and was probably affected in all kinds of subtle ways by their institutional color but was usually unaware of how they made me feel, unaware of what it felt like to look at them, unaware usually of even their color and texture, because I never really looked at anything in a precise, attentive way.

Hi I'm Fern I am just a girl. My boyfriend says that if I was an american girl doll (not sure why he knows what that is but I'm not homophobic) that my description would be "this is Fern, one thing you won't find in her pocket is a smartphone! I study Russian но я плохо гоборю по русский. Однажды я сказала, что заболела, чтобы не ходить на занятия. Я соврала, на самом деле я была в Новом Орлеане. I literally just found the indie web and I'm so stoked on it, I've been pretty techno-critical for a while now and wholly believe we should return to a Web 1.5 era.
