CarrieMpls said:

OMG!!!!


I just remembered. Awful flashback. I have his autograph. It was all very drunken after a First Ave show. I followed him and one of his roadies around the bar for a while. He was very nice, but I was very, very drunk. God, how embarrassing!

CarrieMpls said:

Hate getting ignored, that's all. It horrid, for an attention whore like moi.

I just need ONE person to express that, yes, indeed, nothing is better than writing an old fashioned letter, thank you.






































Waiting.....

CarrieMpls said:

but you got daniel ash's autograph! how cool is that? i would have tried to touch his hair.

HamsterHuey said:

oh, goo.

I write letters only very occasionally. And when I do, they tend to be rather, well, special. But I agree, a nice letter can be much, much better than a phone call.

CarrieMpls said:

It's cuz you said you liked the nuances, the 'thought' that went into a conversation.

Even more so with writing. I always make a draw first, then make sure they get a GREAT original Gooey letter. Which means lots of pages, good old long hand and lots of words.

Typing much, but sayin' nuthin', sayin' nuthin', heheheh.

I guess to me they are just very different mediums. There are the subtle nuances of a phone conversation and the carefully (or sometimes not so carefully) worded letters. I think both are a craft in their own right.

CarrieMpls said:

Correct. Phonecalls are more a representation of me, body and mind, often very spontaneous, while letters are composed, more showing off the inner me. I like composing.

Don't mistake me, I always got into problems due to phone bills. I am as much a good talker as I am a writer.

I like talking on the phone depending on who i am talking to. If it is one of my buddies it's fine because we have lot to talk about. It's hard when it's a female friends or a female i am involved with because it usually get's on the topic of things i have no interest in. So she is talking and I am going "Uh huh, Yes, yeah. Okay. Yeah." and so on and i have usually found an excuse to get off the phone. It depends on who I am talking to.

For me there is never the right time to receive a phone call. I always get them at the WORST possible moment. Likewise I promise to ring people and I just never get a chance. I don't like it. I usually can't even hear the other person over the noise at my place and they kids play up when my attention isn't 100% on them. I rather keep in touch email. I don't have a mobile phone, it would drive me insane.
I just don't like talking much full stop.

F*#%ing phone rang in the middle of this post

I'm a phonaphobic.

unfortunately, even my real life friends only email and myspace me now! I hate technology.....

My brother only has a landline. No cells and computers. He hates technology.

I kinda love him for it.
