Five Emotions Invented By The Internet:


^A vague and gnawing pang of anxiety centered around an IM window that has lulled.

^A sudden and irrational rage in response to reading an ‘@-reply’ on Twitter.

^The state of being ‘installed’ at a computer or laptop for an extended period of time without purpose, characterized by a blurry, formless anxiety undercut with something hard like desperation.

^The car collision of appetite and discomfort one feels simultaneously when using the internet to seek and consume images or information that may be considered unseemly or inappropriate.

^The sense of fatigue and disconnect one experiences after emitting a massive stream of content only to hit some kind of ‘wall’ and forget and/or abandon the entire thing.
