1. would you say that you're good at keeping in touch with people? i have my moments. right now i'm absolutely horrible at keeping in touch.
2. which communication method do you usually prefer/use: e-mail, telephone, snail mail, blog comments, or meeting in person? why? i prefer e-mail and being in person. who writes letters and stamps 'em anymore, anyway? i like email because it's easy, quick and convienent. being in person is so much better for reading reactions/emotions. telephone is not and never has been my favorite thing. although, if i'm on the phone i'm going to talk, but i don't like the phone because it's too easy to be distracted by others/things around you, and it's generally a boring activity. but, given the situation, it's my best means of communication with everyone back home (unfortunately, i just suck at it).
3. do you have an instant messenger program? how many? why/why not? how often do you use it? i used to have aol instant messenger; used to use it a lot to talk to my friends. now i have the mac i-chat thing. i've only used it once or twice to talk to jon for fun. but he was downstairs and i upstairs. so that doesn't really count. i go online every now and again to see if i can catch my friends, but with the time differences and everything that's difficult.
4. do most of your close friends live nearby or far away? fa, fa, far away. all in new york, tennessee or alabama.
5. are you an "out of sight, out of mind" person, or do you believe that "distance makes the heart grow fonder"? distance makes the heart grow fonder, most definitely.
