what do you do when you're alone?
sorry if that's a weird question to ask.
i think it could say a lot about a person, what someone's inclined to do when no one's around. it's always interesting to think about what your friends do when they're alone, if they're lazy or if they're active, if they clean or if they let it go when no one's looking. do they use their free time to plot revolution, whether it be removing a parking sign from their block at midnight or sitting in their dark basements participating in a massive web-based government overhaul scheme? how much time do people actually spend on facebook? how far do people look down your facebook timeline? what do people do in the bathroom, other than go to the bathroom? only google knows.
not that i live in a perpetual state of thinking who i am in relation to other people, but i guess maybe that's my point. maybe i do. maybe we do. does everyone come home after work, take their pants off, and lie on the couch for three minutes just staring at the wall? is that normal? sometimes i do that. do people do that? it could be human nature. or is it conformity? i wonder.
what do you think to yourself, when you're doing things while you're alone? when you're just listening to music walking down the street, do you think of it as your theme song? how can you not? do you ever get self conscious? wait who are you, what are you doing and where the fuck are you going?
you look back at maps. only google knows.

the clips immediately following seventeen magazine's qualification of the film as a "spellbinding piece of non-fiction" are my favorite.
