People are bizarre.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was informed the other day of a college guy's hierarchy of communications intimacy. He rated e-mail as less intimate than text messaging, and phone calls more than both. I know it's folly to quantify these things, but he presented it as common university knowledge. It surprised me, because I figure e-mail is more intimate than texting.

I agree with him. email sits until received. most people keep their phones on, so a text beeps them right then.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
texting trades detail for urgency, so I htink it's more often done among intimates. If that makes sense.
insent, msbelle.

I'd never thought of it that way. I still haven't gotten the hang of reliably hearing my phone at home, and have no reception at work. I'm more accessible by e-mail than any other means. Plus there's the whole detail and preservability of it. I don't often say anything that important by text message--one brief concept at a time, at best.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
From a piece of very enthusiastic spam I got this morning:
I feel like you are sorely in need of a refresher and I know just the thing to aid you with that. It's this adorable watch shopping site that employs really economical prices and I think you'd be obsessed with it! You're an attractive girl and you deserve to don luxurious items.
You honestly deserve one of these collections because you don't ever spoil yourself! Their dispatchment is a breeze, and they also use online tracking! You're going to look and feel fabulous, and that makes me jubilant.
I deserve to don luxurious items. Don't we all?

It makes me jubilant when you spoil yourself and don luxurious items Robin. Um, don't click the link, that would not make me jubilant.

I'm jubilant already, just at the thought of the luxurious items at economical prices, honestly.
I get the text/email thing, too -- texting is in your pants! If you see what I'm saying. I think it's "generational," too -- it's noticable even among people just like five years younger than me that they use texting a lot more than I do.

Is anyone else watching Flavor of Love? It is utterly ridic, but I love it. The contestants are hysterical. And Flav-- oh, Flav.
