David Lynch’s Tweets are freaking me out…
No one can put me in a really tense, on-edge, creeped out state of mind like David Lynch.

Online communities hurting "real" communities?
I’ll admit it, I’m an extreme introvert. Not only am I uncomfortable in social settings, but I’ll usually go out of my way to aviod putting myself in such situations.
