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

 

You and the stranger both like V For Vendetta, Doctor Who, The Walking Dead, The Dangerous Summer, Torchwood, Sherlock, How to Train Your Dragon, and Family Guy.

 

Stranger: Hey

 

You: Hey there

 

Stranger: How are you?

 

You: Bored and lonely, which I figure is the same as most of the other 32,000 people on here!

 

Stranger: Yeah, you're probably right.

 

Stranger: The "lonely" part Is debatable, though.

 

You: I was going to say "all", then changed it to "most", because I've been on here just messing about with a friend before

 

Stranger: Trolling on here is hilarious

 

You: Other than that, why else would you be seeking human contact if you weren't at least sort of lonely?

 

You: The spy thing is pretty funny too

 

Stranger: Social interaction you mean. I do it mostly for two reasons: 1) I like how there's no commitment. If it don't like the conversation/person you can disconnect. You have to admit your own friends get annoying sometimes.

 

You: Yeah, that's perfect

 

Stranger: And 2) I like diversity of opinion. You can always learn from someone else.

 

You: Hadn't really verbalised that thought before, but I agree

 

You: Plus, in a way it's easier to be open around a stranger

 

Stranger: Sorry for changing pronouns around and having typos. I'm typing with one eye xD I poked one by mistake.

 

Stranger: Yeah, exactly!

 

Stranger: You can be open and be truthful.

 

You: Pretty much. I'm usually open with everyone, including people I've just met, but I don't know... it's different with strangers

 

You: It's like you both exist outside of eachother's usual social circle or world and it's a breath of fresh air, it's nice

 

You: I should really talk to strangers more...

 

You: Also, have you heard the acoustic version of No One's Gonna Need You More?

 

Stranger: And it's also easier on here because you don't get much of that awkwardness you get in person. That might just be me, though. Haha.

 

Stranger: Yes, I have! Have you heard the acoustic of Siren?

 

Stranger: The one on YouTube with only Cody and AJ?

 

You: No what I didn't know there was one

 

Stranger: It's perfect.

 

You: Listening now, this was recorded at the same time as the other

 

Stranger: I can't believe you haven't heard it, then!

 

You: There's more pressure in person, I guess

 

You: I don't know, shy people make me shy

 

Stranger: And I just hate small talk.

 

You: Small talk via Internet is worse

 

Stranger: Hahaha. You're a vibe leech!

 

Stranger: Or via text message

 

You: Yeah but I have no friends, so text small talk is out the window

 

You: Also, vibe leech... I'm going to steal that from now on

 

Stranger: I know a bunch of people and the awkwardness never goes away. If I see someone I know out in public I try to hide. I hate it.

 

Stranger: It's the perfect term!

 

Stranger: I used to be like that. I think I'm much more boring now because i get annoyed really easily

 

You: By what?

 

Stranger: Anything and everything. And I'm an introvert to make things worse I can't be out in public too long before it starts affecting me physically. It sounds ridiculous, I know.

 

You: Not that ridiculous, I know how that is

 

You: I don't get it so much in public but if it's concerning something or someone close to me, if it affects me mentally it can translate to affecting me physically too

 

Stranger: It's an extrovert world. It's tough.

 

Stranger: Would you mind elaborating?

 

You: It is an extrovert world! You're good with these terms

 

You: And um

 

You: If something meaningful happens, concerning either me and someone I know, or even friends of mine

 

You: Obviously it'll make me happy or sad or whatever other emotions

 

You: But it can also...

 

You: One of the things is that I shake a lot

 

You: I don't know why

 

Stranger: Sounds like anxiety.

 

You: My best friend finally had success with this girl he'd been falling over for months, and I was laughing and shaking and crying and I'm not sure why

 

You: Naw, it's not that, it can be a good thing

 

Stranger: Oh, empathy!

 

You: I guess so, yes

 

Stranger: You have a major case of empathy.

 

You: You make it sound like a bad thing

 

Stranger: I didn't mean it like that haha

 

You: I know, I was joking

 

You: It's cool ;P

 

You: Empathetic, yeah, definitely

 

Stranger: ...o.

 

Stranger: Hahaha

 

Stranger: You're an empathetic vibe leech.

 

Stranger: What a mix!

 

You: Empathetic vibe leech... I can live with that

 

You: What are you?

 

You: In 3 words#

 

You: ...More if you need them

 

Stranger: An apathetic loner.

 

Stranger: Joking haha

 

Stranger: Not about the apathetic part. Can I just be apathetic?

 

You: You can be whatever you want

 

Stranger: Hooray

 

You: "apathetic" suits itself on it's own, too

 

Stranger: It does. I enjoy talking to apathetic people a little more. But since I'm not completely apathetic I get annoyed. I'm the creation of all the different personalities I've ever met.

 

Stranger: See, that's why I like it on her. Someone is always able to fit into one of my many moods.

 

Stranger: *here

 

You: Do you think I'm apathetic?

 

Stranger: For the most part, no. But you're a vibe leech so that may change from time to time.

 

Stranger: I only mean the apathetic thing to my own personal group of friends. There's never any hard feelings.

 

You: That sounds nice, I'm not sure I'd be able to maintain it though

 

You: If any of my friends did something that merited hard feelings there'd sure as hell be hard feelings

 

You: But I like it that way I think

 

You: If you numb yourself from the bad you're numbing yourself from the good, too

 

Stranger: To each his own.

 

You: I'm just lucky I have a handful of friends I can trust

 

Stranger: It's not about numbing. It's about approaching more of the logical side of something as opposed to emotional.

 

You: Hah, funny you'd mention that

 

Stranger: Yeah, definitely. That's all that matters.

 

Stranger: It's difficult finding faithful friends. And how so?

 

You: Someone said something like that to me a few weeks ago

 

You: I've talked about the difference between emotional and logical reactions with a good friend of mine too

 

You: "I feel like you're so emotional and logical at the same time. You see things the way they are, and yet feel such compassion and emotion. You understand things, yet they have such an emotional and mental impact on you."

 

You: That's exactly what she said

 

Stranger: Really? And here I thought I was coming up with a unique argument. Silly me haha

 

Stranger: Oh, wow. That's intense. Do you mind me asking if you're female or male? It's relevant, I swear.

 

You: The point is, you can have both... it's just about not letting the emotional side getting the best (or worst) of you

 

You: I'm a guy

 

Stranger: Hm, then I don't know. I feel as though I'm not completely apathetic because of my hormones. Not even kidding.

 

You: Hey, guys are affected by that too

 

Stranger: Yeah, but not as much as women.

 

You: Puberty hit me like a train thank you very much D:

 

Stranger: Sorry.

 

Stranger: Haha

 

Stranger: Then you might have been shaped by your experiences in life.

 

Stranger: /shrug. Who knows.

 

Stranger: Hint: only you do.

 

You: Undoubtedly!

 

You: You have to be

 

You: Learn from the bad, and all

 

Stranger: Well, I was referring to that specific character trait.

 

Stranger: But yes, obvious course.

 

Stranger: *of course.

 

You: Oh, right

 

You: I'm not sure how I got here

 

You: It just makes sense to me

 

Stranger: Consider yourself lucky.

 

You: How so?

 

Stranger: You find some explanation to your core personality.

 

Stranger: I don't, but I don't care. It is what it is.

 

You: How can you bear it?

 

Stranger: All I need in life is a good book and a dog and I'll be happy.

 

Stranger: There's nothing to it.

 

You: Hmm

 

You: It's just,

 

Stranger: What?

 

You: If there's a part of me that I don't understand or doesn't make sense or goes against my moral code, it'll bother me for however long it takes for it to be resolved

 

You: I guess that's kind of narcissistic, but if I'm anything it's self-absorbed when it comes to things like that

 

Stranger: Another question that is relevant: do you have any religious background?

 

Stranger: It's not narcissistic. It's more of a self-improvement attitude.

 

You: That's a more attractive way of putting it

 

You: Also, hahaha

 

You: No, not at all

 

You: Does it seem that way?

 

Stranger: No, I was just asking. People who tend to be religious don't look inwards. They find all answers in that religion.

 

You: Pretty much. I take this is you're not religious either?

 

Stranger: Debatable.

 

Stranger: I could call myself a deist. Too much has happened in my life for me to say that coincidences happen.

 

You: You'd be surprised

 

Stranger: Actually, I'm only referring to one event. But I believe in some type of power but it in religious protocols.

 

Stranger: *not in

 

Stranger: Yes, I'm a believer in cause and effect.

 

Stranger: It's difficult to explain.

 

You: Hmm

 

You: What is this said "coincidence"?

 

You: Also... be right back, getting food

 

Stranger: You don't want to hear it. It's long.

 

You: I do!

 

Stranger: Yeah, no problem.

 

You: If you can't be bothered telling me, that's fine

 

Stranger: You asked for it. When you get back I'll have the story for you.

 

You: I'm so excited

 

Stranger: In May I was in Guatemala visiting family. Problem is that most of my family is in one pueblo and another part of my family is 6 hrs away in another. My mom, sister, uncle, aunt and I decided to go visit my family at the other location. My aunt refused to go in a car and told us we'd be better off going in a bus. We finally convinced her because it was her car after all.

 

Stranger: Through the whole ride there one of my uncles who never cared for anyone but himself kept calling us every few hours to make sure we were okay. We made it to the other pueblo, had fun, and had to leave.

 

Stranger: We said our goodbyes and one of my other uncle's cried and told us to make sure we took care of ourselves. He had asked my uncle (who was driving) if we was sure he was ready to start driving considering it was 5 in the morning. He said yes and we set off once again.

 

Stranger: I had a dress on but my aunt told me I'd be better off in jeans and on this particular day I decided to listen to her. I put some jeans on in the car and even my sweater. Keep in mind that Guatemala is ridiculously hot.

 

Stranger: Oh, also, my aunt was the one who took authority over the passenger's seat but before we left she told my sister to sit up front. She went in the back of the truck with my mom. It was a double row truck so I had the backseat all to myself.

 

Stranger: Moving along. I am *never* able to fall asleep in anything that is moving. I'm a baby when it comes to comfort. I somehow managed to fall asleep this time.

 

Stranger: Next thing I remember is hearing the car windows breaking.

 

Stranger: My uncle lost control of the truck and hit a pole with the side of the car. Because of this my sister didn't go flying out of the car because she didn't have a seat let on. She only managed to get six stitches on her head because she hit the side window.

 

Stranger: My mom was thrown from the vehicle and was on the other side of the road. She has no broken bones and no fractures. She even got her stomach pierced by something but she's fine now.

 

Stranger: My aunt somehow managed to grab on to the truck and didnt go flying out the car.

 

Stranger: I didn't get any cuts because I had on my jacket and sweater and was also laying down on my side.

 

Stranger: I bruised my knee but was the only one conscious and able to take care of all the important things like the purses. I have American written all over me and yet not ont person at the scene of the accident robbed us. One woman grabbed the purses for me and another let us keep out belongings in her backyard. No one charged us a cent.

 

Stranger: Once we got to the hospital I was left by myself in the waiting room. I had no money in my aunt's cell phone so I couldn't make a call. I'm an emotional wreck at this point and some woman approaches me and tells me she knows I'm from the US and that I shouldn't be scared

 

Stranger: She puts money into my aunt's cell phone, calls my family, and even leaves her cell phone with me to make sure I stay in contact with my family. Again, she didn't charge us a cent.

 

Stranger: A few minutes later I find out that one of my cousins decided to visit the same place as us and was headed home when she recognized our car on the road. She got off the bus and found us in the hospital. If it wasn't for her being my only support there then who knows what could have happened.

 

Stranger: We weren't from that part of Guatemala do we had no where to stay the next day. Thankfully one of my cousins happened to know a guy who owned a house there and he let us stay there for free.

 

Stranger: The hospital ended up waiving the fee for staying there and also for all the tests that had to be done.

 

You: Waiving?

 

Stranger: During the course of all this so many things could have gone wrong. A few feet ahead of us was a steep hill and we ended up on the opposite end of a road. We could have easily hit another car considering there's so much traffic over there. The whole story is just ridiculous and I kid you not, not once did I exaggerate.

 

Stranger: Yeah, like waived. They told us we didn't have to pay for anything.

 

Stranger: It was a shit show. Seriously.

 

Stranger: Haha

 

You: Well, jeez

 

You: All of that is

 

You: Well, insane

 

Stranger: I told you.

 

You: So... that's why you believe in some sort of deity?

 

Stranger: Well, I'd say power.

 

Stranger: Because come on, the world sucks.

 

Stranger: People worship a deity because they feel he's still watching.

 

Stranger: Still controlling every single move but I don't think so.

 

You: That's one of the things I was going to bring up

 

You: I mean, I feel like I'm not to argue with you on this, it's obviously affected you a lot

 

Stranger: Not necessarily.

 

Stranger: I'm still not religious.

 

Stranger: I just have a feeling something is out there.

 

Stranger: An essence, let's say.

 

Stranger: That's where the deistic view comes from. Maybe some type of being created humanity then walked away. I would. People suck.

 

You: lol

 

You: I guess so

 

You: But that's more of a hunch, isn't it?

 

You: Rather than a belief

 

Stranger: Exactly.

 

Stranger: I don't have faith in anything but it's better to be unsure I think.

 

Stranger: If you look at it philosophically you can argue that both theists and atheists are wrong.

 

Stranger: You can't possibly say something doesn't exist. Look how infinite this universe is.

 

Stranger: You also can't say it does exist.

 

Stranger: The supernatural entity deity thing that is.

 

You: I dislike religion, but I dislike atheists that claim to know more about the creation of the universe than religious people do more

 

You: I'm an agnostic atheist

 

You: I can safely say that any established religion that currently exists is probably bullshit

 

Stranger: Exactly. I think that's perfect, too.

 

You: But I can't really say anything about how everything came to be

 

You: I don't know

 

You: I don't think I'll ever know

 

You: But that's how it is

 

You: I think people have a difficulty saying "I don't know"

 

You: There's nothing wrong with not knowing, especially over something like that

 

Stranger: It's a beautiful idea.

 

You: You think?

 

Stranger: Well, not "we." my pronouns are off.

 

Stranger: *they.

 

Stranger: Yes, I do. We have a vast amount of emotions and we're able to experience them.

 

Stranger: Pain is only temporary.

 

You: Oh, I see what you mean

 

Stranger: If you compare our lifespan with that of the earth then in retrospect we're only alive for a blink of an eye.

 

Stranger: We're seriously nothing and yet we have the chance to be left in awe.

 

Stranger: It's a nice little thought.

 

You: "little", hah

 

You: That's cute

 

You: The way I see it is

 

Stranger: What do you mean?

 

You: Just... we're little

 

You: Little thoughts

 

You: Concerning big things

 

Stranger: People humans are self-centered....we believe in evolution yet distinguish ourselves from animals.

 

Stranger: *because, not people

 

You: I like that

 

You: I think humans find it difficult to say "I don't know"... we always have to have the answer for something, and hell, that's pretty much half of what we live to do, discover

 

You: If you take a little kid as an example, they always inquire "why?" to the most mundane things

 

You: Why "why?"

 

Stranger: I agree.

 

You: "Why?" implies an intention, a reason, a cause, whatever

 

You: I guess that carries out to religion

 

Stranger: Of course. But I think it's part of our psychology to have this yearning for the unknown.

 

Stranger: More so towards religion.

 

You: And it's a shame too... people resort to religion to find answers, they fool themselves because it's difficult for humans to accept even the possibility that maybe the universe is just a magnificent accident

 

You: Instead putting it down to something so petty and so... human, ultimately

 

You: God is a human creation

 

Stranger: But I wouldn't say that. Faith is also beautiful.

 

Stranger: Again, we're only human. Even if there was a god we wouldn't understand it.

 

Stranger: It's too big of a concept for our brains to fathom.

 

Stranger: It would dive into another realm.

 

Stranger: Again, we're only animals with a consciousness (as far as we know)

 

You: Consciousness is special, though

 

You: Hey, I have something for you

 

You: It explains things better than I could try

 

Stranger: I guess so.

 

Stranger: What is it?

 

You: Particularly the part closer to the end

 

You: Hang on

 

Stranger: Btw, I'm on a phone so I can't really open anything haha

 

You: Oh, gosh

 

Stranger: What is it? You could always e-mail it to me if you want. You don't have to, though.

 

Stranger: No hard feelings if ya' don't xP

 

You: I want to... I could send you the lyrics to it (it's a poem of sorts), but I feel it wouldn't have the same effect

 

You: Do you have a computer nearby?

 

Stranger: Yep, I do.

 

You: Would you add me on FB?

 

Stranger: Only if you're sure you want to do that :p haha

 

You: I've met people on Omegle before, it's no biggie

 

You: Hell, I'm currently at a friend's house I met online

 

Stranger: I didn't mean it like that. But okay, link?

 

You: http://www.facebook.com/lucien.shearman

 

Stranger: Give me a sec.

 

Stranger: Friend request sent. Aaand my laptop died.

 

You: Lmao

 

You: Accepted anyway!

 

Stranger: I got my charger. It was an awful journey.

 

You: It always is ;_;

 

Stranger: Yeah, seriously. If only people would have respected Tesla.

 

You: If people respected Tesla a lot more people would be dead

 

Stranger: ....what. You did not just insult my crush.

 

You: Hey, you can have a crush on an insane person!

 

Stranger: Tesla is one of the greatest people who ever lived.

 

Stranger: Anyways, what were you going to send me?

 

You: Oh, yeah

 

You: Shall I send it to you on FB?

 

Stranger: Yeah, definitely.

 

You: It's a bit long, but you'll enjoy it.. maybe

 

You: Hopefully

 

Stranger: Oh, it's long. Alright.

 

You: Not good?

 

Stranger: I have a short attention span haha

 

Stranger: I'm watching it, though!

 

Stranger: Werd. The universe doesn't need to tell us why we're here.

 

Stranger: We have the amazing opportunity to be conscious in this beautiful, massive, ornate universe.

 

Stranger: That was great.

 

You: :D

 

You: I love Tim Minchin

 

You: Whoever animated that did a great job too

 

Stranger: It was quick. That's what pulled me in.

 

You: And yet you like Family Guy!

 

You: Half of that show is lip syncing

 

Stranger: Wait, what?

 

Stranger: I'm from Rhode Island. I'm forced to like Family Guy haha

 

You: Oh my

 

You: How is that treating you?

 

Stranger: I love it here.

 

Stranger: And Family Guy has its moments.

 

Stranger: Not too shabby.

 

You: Oh, I love Family Guy

 

You: Just, animation wise, it's not the most advanced or "quick" thing out there

 

You: NO.

 

You: YOU MET TDS
