I have an obsession of flicking through photographs that arent mine, a friends photograph, a friend of a friend. It seems that this networking system of Facebook/Bebo/Myspace/Hi5 and any other networking website is endless for finding people and viewing images of people that I have never seen ever in my entire life. Im find myself looking through my own photos Iv uploaded then to click on a friends profile and search through their photographs, then to search through photographs of someone else, does it become a public exhibition of ones personal photographs?I sit here a look at photos of my friend Neeva whom I worked with when I was a checkout operator at the almight Write Price. I hadnt spoken to her in years, yet Im still able to keep up with what she is up to. Makes me think im almost stalking her. But i find im always drawn to looking at the photographs, looking at the color, the fashion of the time, the hotspots via the camera flash, be nicer if there was a screen or something to reduce the hotspots. Its like, you know when your sitting in a nice cumfy seat and your doing something relaxing or lying in a bathtub of warm water and you could just melt. I find i have the same facination but with photographs. lol Im currently talking to my friend Sarah Powell who is currently living in Wellington, both she and I are talking about the obsession of looking through peoples photographs. It just amazes me how curious one gets, you look at one photograph and then you want to keep looking at more. Well come to think of it, it is basicalliy a Public Exhibition in virtual space. Its like people tend to put up photographs that they think they look good in, almost like going to the movie store to hire a movie. You look at the cover and if it doesnt seem too appealing you put it back down and pick up the next one that has the brightest and best looking cover. Feels like I should be surfing for Pornography lol, does both things, images/photographs, its appealing, you can get self gratification from it, and lots of people are obsessed with it lol.
I would like to leave this post openended because im sure to come back and continue in a later post about obsessions that i have. A little bitsy, but its fine imo. Nothing like bitsyness for me I say.
This is Sarah doing the peace sign :D

That was a good night, I had just been a model in the end of year Ucol fashion show, and had just drunk a bottle of scrumpys with Pam, as we walked down the Dury hill steps. We ended up at the Red, where we just hung out and drank on the bit outside that overlooks the river. Then Anna ran off, and I managed to run away from the creepy guy that was trying to get me to go home with him, and then me and Jess made toasties when we got home, and as usual I had work the next day at 10am. Boomer times.
