The internet, being a very anonymous business, allows people--very strange people--to, in essence, be who they want to be. Of course. You're not that dense.

Regardless! That being said, I myself, in all the years I have ventured onto the internet with a conscious and knowledgeable mind, have come in contact with certain questionable individuals.

One specific website comes to mind in relation to these people: Diaryland.com. Similar to LiveJournal and Xanga, this site allows for the creation and maintenance of diaries. I ran into this website one day during the middle of sixth grade and have loved it since (because it pwns MySpace hard).

Back then, I was more open and sociable than now, and "met" a few notable friends. However, despite making layouts for them and giving encouragement during hard times, they have all since disappeared and their diaries remained untouched.

But the most significant information about them that you need to know is that all of them, regardless of location, age, or sexual orientation, knew each other in some way or another.

I think--and most certainly believe--that they are not actually individuals, but one single entity that creates numerous personas in an effort to confuse young teenage girls.
