It me

 Pied Warty Frog – Reptiles and Amphibians of Thailand

A picture of a new species of tree frog that had recently been discovered. Scientists speculated that the reason it had never been before was because, quote, "It is covered with warts and it wants to be left alone."

(p.29)


This section reflects the protagonist's inner thoughts after viewing a news article about a species discovery. These responses are exactly the kind of overused self-deprecating "comedic" replies that are all over the internet. Nearly any image of anything could have a comment under it saying "me" or "that's so me". The protagonist yearns to be like everyone, because the right answer is always the most popular one. Therefore when she sees this frog, her response is immediately the default one you would see on instagram or twitter.

Labyrinth

Image
The internet is a labyrinth. Dead ends and pathways. Infinite and alluring. It is inescapable. Its walls of knowledge towering overhead and casting their shadow on my face. To it, I am small. An insect with an insatiable hunger to learn and answer all of the questions that fill my mind. It is maddening; trying to make my way to its center; knowing my answer is out there but the journey seeming never ending. Distractions and rabbit holes to fall down at every angle. I must steel myself and resist their appeal, if not, I will become lost. I will forget why I even entered the labyrinth to begin with. I hold my question in my mind and turn back around, desperate to find the center. The answer that will make this journey worth it. I travel further and further in, just to reach wall after wall. Typing into the search bar new ways to phrase or approach my question, which unlock and reveal to me new spiraling corridors of articles, links, videos, images, and more questions. I am determined, th...

  Alpha Greg ★★★★★    I have awoken   Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2025 Verified Purchase I didn't purchase this shirt. This shirt summoned me. This package arrived on my front porch and apparently had been ordered yesterday with next day shipping, although I was so blackout that I have no recollection of doing so. From the moment I touched its 100% cotton threads, I felt something come over me. I was no longer hungover, praying to God for forgiveness for drinking that fifth Four Loko. Instantly, I have been revitalized. My true identity as an alpha wolf has come to light and I must fulfill my destiny. At long last, I can assert my dominance over the inferior male specimens I see every day. And, most importantly, challenge them in order to find my most perfect mate. I am a five foot seven male seeking a minimum 6 foot tall girlfriend who can carry me on her shoulders, elevating me to the level at which I belong. I'll be wearing this shirt around to do ...

Cat Person

Texting functions as a way for Margot and Robert to interact at a distance, therefore allowing her to create an imaginary, idyllic version of him in her head. They never talked about personal things, just joked around a lot and sent each other memes. I feel that this especially emphasizes the maturity gap between the two. Margot is over ten years younger (unbeknownst to her, as they never even discuss their ages while messaging each other) and thus is more inclined to have unserious conversations. She enjoys texting each other as their cats and quickly became infatuated and eager to please, telling her stepdad that they are "in love" and "going to get married." Margot also had to "work to impress him" and if she took too long to respond, he'd give dry, short answers, forcing her to make more effort and respond faster in order to 'earn' a good conversation. This meant that she was frequently put in the position of having to initiate their exchan...
