1. Would you say that you’re good at keeping in touch with people?
I have to say, I am guilty of “getting too busy”.
The internet has helped I think though. Much easier for me to make a quick note anytime, and to chat or email, saving long distance money, not playing ‘phone tag’, etc.
2. Which communication method do you usually prefer/use: e-mail, telephone, snail mail, blog comments, or meeting in person? Why?
I prefer different methods for different people at different times. I’m not much at snail mail, and blog comments are not a big thing in my life. My dear ones that are far away, I contact online regularly, but still phone once in awhile to ‘hear their voice’, and LOVE to see them in person when I get the chance!
3. Do you have an instant messenger program? How many? Why/why not? How often do you use it?
Yes, I have 4 of them; MSN, Yahoo, AOL and ICQ, but I use the program Trillian which wraps them all into one program instead of running them all. I have friends/family that have different ones. I use it daily to keep in touch with those that live far away(which is most people I know).
4. Do most of your close friends live nearby or far away?
Far away, but then I did just relocate 2500 miles away from “home” 2 years ago.
5. Are you an “out of sight, out of mind” person, or do you believe that “distance makes the heart grow fonder”?
I sure miss a lot of people…….
Come on, join in the fun :~)
