I had quite a good day today. I met with some people about possible part-time jobs & stuff and it seemed to go well so um…watch this space!
So it’s 22:30 on a Tuesday night, I’m sat at my computer with a Sandwich & a Can of Coke. I thought i’d check out Omegle again. I’ve not been on there for a while…
I’m thinking of doing a mini-series on this, consider this the first chapter.
Note: for those of you who don’t know what Omegle is. It’s a website that you can go on to talk to complete stranger in total anonymity……yea I know, weird right?
The first conversation:
You: Good Evening Stranger: hey Stranger: asl?
You: 18 M England
Your conversational partner has disconnected.
So um…..I guess he doesn’t like people who live in England OR he wants to meet girls and the extremely remote chance of cam2cam…..fucking lol. Seriously, check on the ‘video’ not the ‘text’ chat button. The next guy I connected with didn’t even try to dance around the issue.
As soon as I clicked connect….BLAM!!! right there.
The second conversation:
Stranger: 20/m looking for a horny girl to trade sex pics with
You: Good evening
Your conversational partner has disconnected.
I guess saying ‘Good Evening’ means you aren’t a horny girl who wants to trade sex pics…..wtf?!?!?! Isn’t there enough porn on teh internetz as it is.
The third conversation:
You: Hello Stranger: oh hey
You: What’s occuring?
Stranger: nothing you?
age?
You: 18
You: Just thought I’d see how many purverts I could find on Omegle in the space of 15 minutes.
You: Found 2 so far….
You: What ya up to?
Stranger: LOL , i hate them . : $
and nothing much , thanks
you?
You: I’m doing an Omegle experiment at the moment. Just blogging about Omegle conversations…
Stranger: oh, true. All goes quiet for a minute…
You: So…
Stranger: i dont know, why are you doing a Omegle experiment?
You: Something to write about, I’ve got nothing interesting for today’s journal entry.
Stranger: oh true.
the perverts on here are stupid. :$ You: Indeed
Stranger: haha , yup . : $ At this point, I open up a new tab with a new Omegle window…
You: …anyways Stranger: i dont know. You: Looks like this convo has died. It’s been nice talking to you, stranger. Goodbye
Stranger: goodbye .
I ended it, he may or may not have been an internet purvert. My instincts say he was because asking age so early into a convo puts a red flag up…..anyways moving on.
The fourth conversation:
Stranger: heyyy
Stranger: wanna fuck my virgin pussy?
Your conversational partner has disconnected.
I didn’t even get a chance to say anything. It was probably a SpamBot for a pay-for-porn site anyways.
The final conversation:
Stranger: hey ;o
You: *tips hat*
Stranger: kayy lol how are u?
You: Doing an Omegle experiment
Stranger: govnaaaa y u no speak to me xD kayy what kind of?
You: Posting interesting convos on my online journal
Stranger: kayy
Stranger: could i see it?
You: possibly, search for Omegle on tumblr tomorrow.
Stranger: kayy yea im on tumblr ;DD You: sweet
Stranger: but why do u say online journal, blog is much easier
You: “a Blog sounds like something that lives at the bottom of a pond & communicates through farts”
Stranger: who said that lmao xD
You: A dude who does video game reviews over at Escapist Magazine
Stranger: oh okay
You: Ben “Yahtzee” Crosshaw on Zero Punctuation ….anywho this sounds like an ad, i’ll stop.
Stranger: but online journal sounds like smth that lives in a palace and communicates through poetry : DDD
You: Well isn’t that charming, I’ll carry on calling it an Online Journal
Stranger:
D haha
You: I’ve done 5 of these convos & 3 of them have turned out to be purverts.
You: Congrats on not being a douche Stranger: thank u so much : 3
You: Omegle seems like it’s solved a problem that wasn’t there, I picture a time before the Internet when instead of Omegle; people would strap messages to carrier pigeons & wait for a reply…
Stranger: umm yeah lol :’D what if we still did that
Stranger: but isn’t email like that thing and not omegle? im js
You: you can’t email a stranger though …=\ oooo ima make a website for emailing strangers
Stranger: x)) cool You: so um…..here’s a question for ya. You: In a fight between astronauts and cavemen, who would win?
Stranger: kayy
Stranger: what theeee xD idek lol
Stranger: what kind of fight xD
You: ok well..
Stranger: what kind of weapons or such do astronauts have lol xD
You: lets say it’s in a field and the astronaut has a riot stick and the cavemen have clubs
Stranger: cavemen win? D: xD
Stranger: what does this have to do with anything
D lol how am i supposed to know? xD whatever can happen
You: ok well it’s your decision, there’s no right or wrong answer. but it usually starts a debate, I was on the phone to someone for an hour with this, they got really worked up over it.
Stranger: :’DD ahahaa
You: Anywho this has been an interesting conversation but I must go now. I’ll post this on my blog, feel free to read.
You: http://squidwolf.tumblr.com
Stranger: kayy thx
You: *tips hat*
You: Bye
That is possibly one of the most civilised conversations I’ve had on Omegle. The guy/girl (don’t know) seemed very nice from the new minutes we talked and I’ll never know who they really were. From that conversation, it gave me hope that the phrase “8 out of 10 people on the internet are douchebags” may be slightly over-exaggerated. But from the percentage of people I talked to in the five conversations I did, it may be true…..i’ll leave it up to you to decide.
But for now, this has been Flying Squidwolf.
