I use the internet for a variety of things from reading topics, news, weather, sports info. to making new friends in social media. I live in such a rural area that there is not a population that is all inclusive of the gay lifestyle. In fact, I haven't even seen any around here let alone met any, other than my looking myself in the mirror, with that being said, I use it to maintain a link to my lifestyle of being a butch into femmes and like minded and like lifestyle individuals on the net, like an extended family for me. That's another reason I 'm grateful for the planet and for the internet. I think I would go absolutely shit stir crazy living here and being the only gay person around within an hours drive of where I live.
I miss being social in r/t with friends, but I live where I live and live alone because I take care of my mom when she needs things done or go to the doctor, etc. I haven't partnered or even thought about partnering with anyone because I live so far from anyone to meet and because of my situation of not being able to move to be with a partner. I"m diligently doing my duty as my mother's child that is single, to take care of her the best way that I can in my abilities. Otherwise, my ass would be back in Austin. LOL ETA: I'm grateful for the internet. I don't think it's asinine. I do think people get addicted to the things ON the internet. I think it's just part of our society moving forward with time and new engineering of things to use.
