Omegle; Good or bad thing?

That's a serious question as I keep using this site to meet friends and keep up the search. For one, it's helped me meet quite a few interesting individuals, a 100 year old alien being the first and foremost, then there's a Japanese basketballer, her taiwanese roommate, a Aussie joker, A random Korean, an American deviant, a UK Malaysian, and so on so forth. Sure they've been load of fun to talk to, sure it's opened me to a wide range of cultures and societies. But is it actually doing me any bad?

Could be, I think for one thing it's making old memories flood back. On negative desocialist (is this a word? no clue) note it's pretty much just getting me famous worldwide as the 17 yr old single emo wierdo who talks too much (this seems to be the only recurring thing when people talk to me online). Then there's the emotional issue.

I mean let's face it; the internet's just not the place to convey emotion properly.I don't think anyone can have a heart to heart conversation by messengers and chatrooms, cause when it boils down to it, it's only words on a screen. The person on the other side could be having the totally opposite emotion to what he or she is writing. There's no way to be sure. So the only logical thing to do is to be on guard. And being on guard keeping you from falling in love properly. And the whole bloody reason I started Omegle was on the blind hope I'd find someone who's for me cause noone local fits the bill. Sigh, it's annoying, and rather crushing; the only way I'll ever find anyone is that I take the walk, and leave this town for an adventure.

That's what's happening year end, guess what; I'm been challenged to do exactly what I've been planning to do all this while. I've been challenged by my dad, for at least 2 months I must go out, no more than 500 ringgit in the pocket (that translates to over a 100 bucks) and just survive. how I do it is up to me, but I must do it without any help from relatives or anyone financially ok. friends following me on the journey's fine though. And I am going to follow on that challenge to the letter; I'm not going to ask for any help. I will cut myself completely off from my entire family and all my friends who aren't joining me, and just travel Sarawak. Sure I'll be seeing mostly road and jungle most of the time once I leave the general area, but there's a lot ahead of me. Actually I think I'll prefered it if my dad send me elsewhere besides Malaysia, I dunno, somewhere like Japan But definately NOT Jakarta.

Heh, I'm dead beat. I'll turn in for tonight.
