| outsider looking inward I have felt it for a while, that feeling of being an outsider looking into communities but never a part of them. There is also the connected feeling of being outside myself watching the smiling loud-voiced greeter at work who can chat about drapery but cannot hang his own drapes. The internet used to be my thing and I was at least periferaly aware of most goings-on with The Net. It felt like my place, where I belong. I imagine that is a common feeling for many somewhat antisocial people. But at some point that all changed. Maybe it was when things became well known and popular or maybe at some point I became more immersed inside my head, less connected to the outside. So now even on the Internet I am an outsider looking inward. Irina invited me to her community called Utata and my first thoughts were, "What is this all about." Quickly it answered itself, "It's about community." That was the simple answer. I have not participated but have lurked. Still don't get it. That said, I like this lil article called Articulating the Empty Chair and if you have been by my photoblog or flickr lately, you will notice my attraction to empty, usually discarded chairs.
