I don't know, but I always loved that image of a girl putting toenail polish on a guy - her boyfriend, or something like that.

When you're a teenager, everything seems like the end of the world, and I don't think that's necessarily a silly thing.

I think people are sort of waking up to it now, how probably the biggest change in Internet media isn't the immediacy of it, or the low costs, but the measurability.
