Chat Roulette

Chat Roulette is nuts. I'll probably be addicted to this site for the next six months (What else are you going to do in Connecticut?). Chat Roulette is a website that pairs you with a random stranger via video chat.

The first person I saw was a naked girl and her vagina. There were naked boys, naked men, and lots of cats. Some of the messages we received were: "get naked," "sex," "pussy." It wasn't long before I started yelling pussy at every person I was connected to. Some of my welcome comments included, "hey, you're not naked."

I was naive. And so were the students from Paraguay. About my sixth try, I met a group of Paraguayans who showed me a puppy and lots of finger pointing. In exchange, I showed them a rubix cube- it was the closest thing next to my computer. After trying to speak some broken Spanish, we said goodbye. I can only imagine what they saw after me. Out of the fifty something strangers I connected to, only a handful were interested in things not associated with sex. I don't think I'll be able to erase the image of that really old guy sitting quietly in front of the camera, naked. I don't think Chat Roulette is for normal conversations, I couldn't do it. When I met someone I could talk to, it got boring and awkward after the initial hello. Greg and I met some nice guys from New Orleans. When we asked them how it was, they said it was good, "except for Katrina." We met another guy from Lyon and another guy from Boston. There were a lot of dudes on Chat Roulette.

If Chat Roulette is the only kind of connection we may hope to have in the future, I am scared. It's like that movie Gamer I saw the other day (I watched it because I was bored. That's all I do here. Go to work and watch movies. I hope that my life will return to relevancy). On second thought, I will not return to Chat Roulette. The images and the insanity of its users are wayyyyy too much.
