I am not Sorry

Mood: distant

I do not speak HTML.
I am not fluent in this other language you speak.
If I took my computer apart, I would not see how it works.
Rather, I would see art projects and pieces of jewelry.
I would not be lost without my computer, my TV, my camera, my phone or any other electronic device you seem to think I need.
I have no reason to purchase the latest or most expensive model of anything.
I like to turn the pages of my books.
I still enjoy my old cassettes.
I would rather put my money in savings, than blow it on the latest gaming system.
I value relationships with the people I see on a regular basis, not the ones I have online.
I value the people in my life more than the superficial material items I own.
I use my computer to pass time and type papers for class.
If I need to talk to someone, I would rather do it in person.
I do not make love to people over webcam.
My things do not own me.
I am tired of pretending to take interest in this pathetic, life-consuming, wallet-draining religion you call "Geek."
Excuse me while I interact with the people in my life.
You will never have to accept my apology for never seeing things the way you do.
