I'm a new blogger, & I think you've managed to expertly articulate the duality of my desire/disgust at the idea of thrusting my own life/views into the spectacle. It almost creates two selves for the blogger, doesn't it? The spectacle self, & the private self (which, I think, still exists, it just changes its nature as the blogger chooses what to reveal & what not to reveal). Anyway, thanks for the great reading!

The interviewer fake-congratulated me a tiny bit and then asked whether I was worried that people would think I was a narcissist, which was a cute way for her to tell me that she thought I was a narcissist. “Do YOU think I’m a narcissist?” I asked her, and she stuttered. Later, the interview was posted on the NPR website with this quote taken out of context, making it seem like I am such a narcissist that I go around asking people, unprompted, whether they think I am a narcissist." -Ms. Gould, 5/27, http://jezebel.com/5010998/i-picked-the-wrong-week-to-watch-every-episode-of-sex-and-the-city cheers, from someone who has far exceeded any sane person's page-click threshold in the past few days. you've managed to lend a thoughtful, substantive voice to an otherwise rather empty and overstylized chorus. “That was sort of how my radio interview went, once I finally made it to 11 West 42nd Street.

Essentially, no one is a person here. We're all the hollow extensions of certain aspects of real people pushed out into the anonymous electronic world. Nothing about this is real. As a real person, I'd never say half of the things I say here because real people have to have decorum and live in a society." From the comments on a recent Gawker article.
