How pathetic is this?
"This is a service provided by a real life girl where she will pretend to be your long distance girlfriend by sending you personalized love letters, emails, pictures, leave phone messages (if you want), and provide other girlfriend-like services. This relationship appears real to others that may see these things, but it is not. There will be no actual real life meetings or relationship between you and your Imaginary Girlfriend other than that specified in your order."
"Anyone who has difficulty distinguishing reality from fantasy should NOT use this service. ".......noooooo, why not? They're weirdos anyway :-)
Oddly enough (or probably not) there's no Imaginary Boyfriend service available. This means that women like the real thing or...men are just too easy :-)
This surely needs a deeper cybersociological analysis...but I just don't have the time!

Posted by: MaThIbUs on March 19, 2004 11:17 PMDesculpem, mas não me apetece nada escrever em inglês. Descobri esta página por acaso quando consultava um site acerca do novo betão translucido, eu sei que não tem nada a ver com o assunto a que esta página se dedica mas queria apenas congratular a cláudia e dizer que à exepção do manifesto feminista, identifiquei-me muito com a página, Arte, Filosofia, Literatura, Amor, são a razão da minha existência. Gostaria de manter contacto via e-mail uma vez que não tenho problemas em destinguir o real do imaginário!!! lol Aguardo resposta pacientemente

Posted by: Rui MCB on March 12, 2004 03:29 PM"Do I seem heartless?" Everyone has its way of dealing with the pain or with the news of the horror. I surely wont point any finger if you decide to say “the hell with obligation of digging in the blood…” I think it’s never to soon to move one, specially when the source of grief is terrorism. But… I would have something to say if the only thing you say or think is “Let’s hope it doesn’t happen again”. You can even think that you can do very little to stop the horror but, if not for other reason, there are many fellow citizens that have very nasty certainties about what they can do. Things that probably will affect sooner or latter you daily life.
In some level, everyone is needed in the battle against terrorism: at least by being conscious of what is at stake. By saying this I’m not saying that you aren’t conscious or that you should use your blog to “preach the word”. Many other are doing that and you can very usefully begin telling jokes.
Notice that in the first comment I immediately associated your posts with some kind of contribution for enduring with the “battle”. They only could be disturbing if you don’t feel confortable with my assumption.
In one sentence: If by telling jokes you are only trying to forget, to escape, to avoid dealing with the sense of helplessness that arises from the rubble, more than cooping with the sadness and disruption then I would see you as heartless or incredibly scared.
P.S.: That pays more than showing off your tits in the net! Not that I know the price of some erotic photo clubs, naturally. Someone told me...
Posted by: Rui MCB on March 12, 2004 03:20 PMDo I seem heartless? I just don't see the point of going over the pain over and over again.
It's done. People are dead. We live. Let's hope it doesn't happen again.
But yes, they pay 30 to 100$ per boyfriend. I'm actually considering having this as a part-time job ;-)
Posted by: Claudia on March 12, 2004 02:29 PMThank you Claudia for helping to re-centre our lives in these very sad days. So... you are talking of a business opportunity… Do you think there’s some money in it? :-))
