It occurs to me that before I had internet access I was a CD but it has probably made me worse than I perhaps would have been.
Before the net I would very rarely buy anything and spent a whole lot less time worrying about it. I would very very occationaly find a magazine or book on the subject and keep them stashed away for years.
Before the net I knew there were others out there but had no idea just how many. Seeing a ******* was a shock. Seeing another "guy" in a frock in a mag was exciting. Visiting the occational "special" shop was overpowering, very nerve wracking and brilliant. But again very rare.
Since the internet, I'm not shocked at seeing pictures of almost anything. I'm not worried about shopping and surf tht shops most days. I think about the little things like painting my nails rather than the clothes all the time. I can find some realy special pretty clothes that I would never had imagined existed for somebody of 6' 6".......and here I am conversing with others who I would never had contact with any other way..
All in all I think the internet has made me more of a CD than I would have been.
