I had requested that anyone with any jokes leave them in my soak up because I needed a good laugh to relieve my strain from school. I was requested to join a online community by my writing professor and then decide if it truly was a community. Websters dictionary defines community as a unified body of individualsan inter behaveing population of various kinds of individuals (233).

I figured that it would be easy for me to consort with people and start conversations. Unfortunately, I was mistaken. When I visited the site I spy that the majority of the topics had little or nothing to do with Friends. Simply put, it was people talking about cars, movies, love lives, and any other subject on someones mind. I found this interesting since this was a forum dedicated to a television show. But it did remind me of how people would act if they attended an automobile convention, for example. Although a utomobiles are the main topic, people would diverge and discourse of other issues. Of course there where topics pertaining to the show, however most of the conversation where so precise that often times I couldnt remember the conduct episode they were speaking of.
