It worries me because it's like he's saying "Hey, could somebody stalk me too? I feel so alone." The gay doesn't come into it. Well, maybe it adds a bit of icing to the cake. I mean, don't get me wrong. I'm as intolerant and homophobic as the next guy. But that has nothing to do with this topic. EDIT: Thuryl is a dirty CHEAT!

I'll level with you, Creator. I've been through three women in the last half year and I don't think I understand them at all. The last one I ended up falling head over heels for and she's still sort of a friend, but it's all cold and mean and Valentine's Day is two days away and I just want someone to love. So: would you ask Thuryl to be my valentine? Posts: 794 | Registered: Tuesday, October 11 2005 07:00 |

You can always just send a handmade card instead. Makes you seem thoughtful and costs nothing except your time. Expensive gifts are for the lazy and uncreative.

Why not buy the last of bargain-bin Christmas chocolate for Valentines day? Edit: You could also send handmade chocolate. [ Sunday, February 12, 2006 21:19: Message edited by: VCH ] -------------------- The Knight Between Posts. Posts: 2395 | Registered: Friday, November 2 2001 08:00 |

Actually, I give people baked goods for Valentine's Day. I tend to keep the chocolate for myself. Posts: 437 | Registered: Sunday, July 13 2003 07:00 |

You know what's wrong with MSN (and any other chat thing)? That for a conversation you normally would take three minutes to have, you take half an hour! Could somebody tell me why this is? I mean...

That is the beauty of messenger, you can actually think over what you are going to say before you say it. And if the conversation runs dry you can think of another topic in 5 minutes and blame your absence on some excuse like "brb toilet". Not that i do that of course, just hypothetically. Checking back at a recent 5 hour long msn conversation i had it consisted of just over 4,500 words. That's pretty good seeing as if it was a real face to face conversation it would probobly have run out about 2 hours earlier. Posts: 77 | Registered: Wednesday, February 1 2006 08:00 |

I find that the quality of the output of IM communication depends a lot on who I'm talking to. I too have friends who I can have long, stimulating conversations with online, but not at all in person. But there are others who I have an instant connection with in person, but online, conversation quickly decays. I think it has to do with the conversational dynamics. Everyone has a different general style of conversation (proactivity vs. reactivity, speed, verbosity, depth of topic penetration) and moreover, we all alter these in subtle but non-random ways when touching on different topics. That's part of what makes some people easier to hold a long conversation with than others. But online, the ground rules are different, so conversational styles interact with each other in very different ways. One thing in particular I've noticed: my general approach to conversation is more reactive than proactive. With others who are similar, real life conversations tend to quickly degenerate if we don't have something specific we need to talk about. Online, the opposite is true. Not only does text sit there forever, daring you to respond to it, but it's easy to pursue several different lines of conversation simultaneously with the same person, which means both of us can bring up tangents to our heart's content. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

quote:But you do take hours to answer. I mean, if you're going to take a shower Aran, you should at least put an away message and not have me wait around like an idiot. Anyways, I prefer aim over msn, although msn has those lovely winks, since at least you don't have people annoying you with those "nudges" every five minutes. Since the creations of nudges my block list on msn has increased substantially. Well, I'm very talkative (stop laughing, I know you all know) so I've never had trouble talking to someone face to face or on the phone. I do prefer the phone, cuz as someone said you could say in 10 min what it takes hours to type, but I understand online conversations. I mean: 1) I can chat online while taking class 2) I can multi-task while chatting 3) And it’s cheaper, since it's free I, for one, have had online conversations for about 8 hours long. One may wonder what can you possibly say in 8 hours, but hey give me a hot attractive intelligent funny and lovely guy and you got me hook. Posts: 1035 | Registered: Friday, April 1 2005 08:00 |
