wispfoxHuh. I appear to be a conversational addict.
I'm all out of sorts today because I want to be having interesting conversations with people, and not be at work.
LJ is ok for that, but because I try to keep my friends list at least somewhat sane in length, I'm caught up.
My email hasn't been terribly good for conversations for months, but I still seem to look anyway. It's sorta disturbing that I keep looking!
I don't _like_ AIM, much, so it's not open. It's got the bad aspects of email and phone - email gives me time to think about what I want to say, so the lack of body language and similar is ok. Phone has some body language (via voice), which compensates somewhat for the lack of time to think. Instant messanging things are real-time enough to not give me much time to think, reduce my ability to multi-task, and have no body language input.
Eh. Is ok. It just means I'm getting enough of it to be distracted by it being missing, rather than just being aware of its lack. Probably also means I ought to go back to being a bit more social than I had been lately!
*runs away*

Re: conversational addict
Date: 2004-06-07 05:37 pm (UTC)The wording on the AIM thing is even pretty much identical. Have I mentioned this to you or is this just synchronous?
I was actually rather wanting conversation late last night but I couldn't bring myself to open any IM clients and it was definitely too late to call anyone. I had things that needed to be done but instead I read a John Barnes book that's wordy enough to help some. It's scary, I was enjoying a meeting today...

You may have, but that's about how I tend to express my dislike of AIM and similar, normally.

Yes. That _is_ scary. *fears*
Re: brain sharing
Date: 2004-06-07 06:05 pm (UTC)The meeting bit might also be due to finally getting information that I've been asking for for 2.5 weeks...
P.S. Chatting via LJ helps. Thanks!
