I wanted each different Chelsea to be able to navigate her own world without having to also speak to a larger narrative.
Chelsea MartinI don't do the like, "This led to this, and this was why this happened." That doesn't feel real and isn't how I experience things.

Chelsea MartinI hide my documents in many different places on my computer, because I often write things that I would never want anybody to read, at least unedited, and I'm paranoid that someone might figure out what the password to my computer is and maliciously read my Word documents. So a lot of the time I lose things I've written and/or completely forget about them.
Chelsea MartinI made my first website when I was ten. I flirted using instant messages all throughout high school. I like the Internet. I like cuddling. I like my cell phone. I like awkward eye contact with strangers. I like hearing people's voices. I like parties. I like Craigslist. These things don't seem technologically exclusive to me.
