The Friday Five- all the cool people seem to do it.
1. Would you say that you're good at keeping in touch with people? Eh, I will keep up with close friends as best I can, but casual friends tend to slip away from me. I wish I were better at that though, networking is a real asset in business as well as grad school, so I need to figure

2. Which communication method do you usually prefer/use: e-mail, telephone, snail mail, blog comments, or meeting in person? Let's rank on preference (without reference to frequency):
1) Snail Mail 2) Email (big gap) 3) Meeting in Person 4) Blog comments (HUGE gap) 5) telephone
I hate using the telephone. It's horrible. Blog comments goes low because you not only have the opportunity to put something dumb into print, you also put it on public display. Meeting in person requires small talk, which I am sooo not good at (which also hinders my networking).

3. Do you have an instant messenger program? How many? Why/why not? How often do you use it? I use Instant Messenger everyday, even though I avow that it is evil. When you're casually dating or have a crush on somebody, it's damn near impossible to keep things casual and not IM every damn day.

4. Do most of your close friends live nearby or far away? I have two friends in Atlanta, one of whom is my social savior. The other hardly ever graces me with her company, but both of us are to blame. There are some friends back home in Auburn and a fair number dispersed across the US.

5. Are you an "out of sight, out of mind" person, or do you believe that "distance makes the heart grow fonder"? Ummm... I'm going to have to side with research (I am a psyc major after all) and say "out of sight, out of mind." Given enough time, you'll forget. A little time with someone you really enjoy being around can make you fonder. But really long distance relationships? Nien! I only recently reconciled myself to the idea of an Auburn-Atlanta stretch (not that Auburn boys are jumping at the chance to try me out)

Well, I might as well post something of interest to myself later on. I've finished two very large books in the first month of school. One would think my classes weren't going to well, but they are for the most part. Anyway, Middle March by George Eliot was really good. It was 800-something pages, so it was like a nice long, very proper, and interesting soap opera. I also read Villette by Charlotte Bronte, which was very good. Besides being a fairly engrossing story, it also has a ton of french dialogue, which helped me brush up on some conversational french (thank goodness for the translations at the back though.)

I have four books waiting to be read on my shelf. Jane Eyre, Rebecca, Silas Marner and Love in the Time of Cholera. Maybe I should go ahead and knock that last one out. It doesn't fit in with my very proper victorian romances. Hmmm....

Oh, by the way. It took me almost exactly a year to put 10,000 miles on my car (from 9/7/01-9/14/02). Is that a lot or a little? Again, hmmm.....

Watching... Home Impovement
Feeling... like this episode isn't funny

So, I tried to post a week or two ago, but after all of my happy little typing, it errored on me and pissed me off. I really want to make this a regular thing, so I'll give it another go.
