Instant Messaging is one of the greatest inventions ever, it opens a whole new world of friends... literally. I recently got invited to Orkut.com, which is super dorky, but also super fun and addicting.

The internet has also helped me meet several other people from around the world... example 1, Mart (a fellow soaper/skater):

Derek R Brooks: you are a douche
RG7420MC: You are an American
Derek R Brooks: haha
RG7420MC: Round one goes to Mart
RG7420MC: Cheers
Derek R Brooks:: you probably know more about the politics of my country than i do
RG7420MC: Ahahaha
