it is weird…

it is definately weird, and a unique way to live, but i don’t thinque it is really stalking. i love people and making friends and sharing my art and mind with the world – but i have a lot of trouble communicating with people in face-to-face situations. i hate crowds and strangers, though i don’t get embarassed at all. when people come up to me in the club i am very uncomfortable and i tell them that. i don’t want to look rude, so i tell them that i am very uncomfortable talking to strangers and the reason i am sitting over here alone is that i am resting from dancing and hiding from the crowds. with this website i don’t have to feel uncomfortable. i can handle the whole crowd at once and get to know so many great (and not so great) people on my own terms. i really thinque this has helped me grow and expand as a person.
where’d that come from? i thought i was still asleep…

good point
i am similar to that in some ways, i get anxious and very nervous when talking to new people – agoraphobic tendancies i suppose, still resurfacing after all these years – yet i love meeting different new people and really am good at one-on-one conversations…i feel i have so much to give and things to share with others…that is one reason why i would love to be able to do something along the lines of a cam site…
Yes…
Going to your site is like hanging out at a coffee shop with friends.
…only you have a sleepcam…
…and I don’t drink coffee…
I think it’s only stalking if you develop an abnormal obsession with the person. As long as you don’t get any requests for a “bathroom cam” I think you’re site will be safe.
Plus there’s so much more stuff than just the cam… For a fledgling graphic design student it’s a great place for inspiration. Not thievry mind you, inspiration. *Huge* difference. 😉
Re: Yes…
No doubt.. I think personal sites are great places to grab some inspiration.. Since its mostly a sandbox for most of the web developers its a good peep hole into upcoming trends in designs. Good stuff.
