DESIGN ?'S/interests/prospective elevator pitches

After listing all these interests, it seems, they all relate to (mis)communication, or an entire lack thereof. also, regardless of design problem i choose to tackle, i intend to do a physical computing project, perhaps incorporate actionscript/c++, and i had initially planned on introducing game elements but i'm not sure how well that would work out given the following ideas.

1 MISCOMMUNICATION; MISINFORMATION.

I am exploring miscommunication and misrepresentation of information in an effort to understand and convey this occurrence both in our representation of ourselves as well as in the media and our daily lives. <more;how/why>

2 ME, MYSELF, ME ME ME.

I am exploring miscommunication and misrepresentation of information in regards to the self self and identity to better understand the difference, if there is any between the self as we perceive ourselves, what we project to others, and how others perceive us. <more;how/why>

3 ALL WE NEED IS LOVE.

I am studying (romantic) relationships that never got a chance, in order to create an interface (possibly, probably, hopefully in the realm of wearable technology) for them to exist because, well, we gotta give love a chance, right? <more;how/why>
