Sorry, I know your just dying to read the next part of my epic journey through tornadoes and floods and whatnot. But, typing that takes time, and storytelling skills (because you know, i have to make myself sound heroic), and I can't muster up either of those requirements at the moment. So, looks like you'll just have to deal with one of my rants, or raves for the moment. I havent decided which yet, I'm just thinking about it while i type this.
Ah ha! Texting. Kindly inspired by my good friend Lauren just a few seconds ago when she asked me "If superman can block bullets with his eyes, why did he duck when they threw the gun?". She has a lot of random questions for me...
Anyway, texting. A lot of people have differing opinions on this topic, which i can understand. Some friends of mine (and me, as you've noticed during class, sorry!) text constantly. But why? Well, i dont know about them, but i text just to text most of the time. Honestly, if you have something pressing or important to discuss, just call the person. Texting is a method of entertainment, where you have a conversation with someone for the sake of having a conversation. Thats the way ive always seen it. Theres no point in texting someone if you want to talk about something that would best be discussed in person. Of course, some people do that anyway and it's kinda aggravating.
On the other side, some of my friends glare at me every time i take out my phone, and they say "What are you doing? Something that will take you two hours to text about could be discussed in person over the phone in 5 minutes." Which is very true, don't get me wrong. And so i tell them it's just talking just to talk. Pure entertainment value. And they say "Whats the fun in having a conversation just to have a conversation? That's a lot of typing and effort just to talk to someone." And so, we're kinda back to square one.
I don't know if you like to text or anything. But ask yourself, do you text more for entertainment or utility? I guess maybe you might text your husband saying "We have to talk." just to create a kinda foreboding feeling. That could be utility. Or you could just call and get it over with. Which is the better method?
Well this blog ran over 400 words by quite a bit. Maybe i shouldve written my research paper about this? Oh well, too late now. Hope you've enjoyed my free blog session! I'll be here all week. Have a great weekend! (Or depending on when you get around to reading this, have a great week!)
