chatroulette encounter 3

chatroulette: encounter 3 from Leisa Sutton on Vimeo.

I talked with a guy from North Carolina who was in the marines. That intrigued me, and I started asking him questions about how long he had been enlisted for. He said he was gonna be out soon, after 4 years in it. I wanted to hear more about that, but he decided to next me. I wish he would have given me a chance. This instance takes me back to the work of Marc Lafia, where he comments that Chatroulette is a way for people to be seen. In the marines, I feel like this guy may not have felt seen or in touch with the rest of the world. Chatroulette may work as an outlet for him, letting him express his thoughts to the rest of the world.
