I recently discovered the joys of Omegle, a chat service that connects you anonymously to one other stranger. There are no user names and no identifying information whatsoever, unless you choose to share that with your conversation partner.

So stuff like this can happen:

Connecting to server…

You’re now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!

Stranger: hi

You: hi.

Stranger: hi

You: please don’t shout “MIDGETS” or something like that.

Stranger: what

Stranger: haha

You: that’s what’s been happening to me :)

You: it’s funny for about 30 seconds.

Stranger: why

You: i don’t know.

Stranger: why r they shouting midgets?

You: i guess they think it’s cute.

Stranger: haha

Stranger: so.. where u from

You: they didn’t offer an explanation.

You: i am living in seattle.

You: you?

Stranger: uk

You: oh boy!

You: i’m half english.

Your conversational partner has disconnected.

My lady friend down in Tacoma, Christopher Grant Harris The Purple Fool, decided to make my album Welcome To Boy Zone his album of the month for April! And boy do I find if flattering. I think this is the part that gives me the most heart beeps:

The whole affair has a definitely endearing lo-fi quality to it, making the album as a whole nearly impossible to categorize… in a good way.

Thank you, my darling Christopher.
