Now I'm there

I've found it rather interesting how people react differently on the phone rather than in person.

I use Skype (skype.com) and I've recently spent hours talking to my friends on there. Now, today, we actually got together and hung out in person. Wow! What a concept! Anyways, we rapidly discovered that it's actively harder to talk to people in person. I think I've figured out why.

Basically, silence is more awkward in person. The visual signals people give make it obvious that they're uncomfortable, but on Skype, which works very similarly to phones, you don't have visual feedback. So basically, silence is easier to deal with. Yeah.

I think I may do something special for my 1 week anniversary. Dunno what yet. We.ll see.
