Dreadful Nonsense

"I've read your blog. it's really funny. you should write a column." - Jon Ronson




A really fast Friday Five…


1. Would you say that you're good at keeping in touch with people?
Depends on the people, really. I am excellent at keeping in touch with some, and others I’m not. It doesn’t usually have anything to do with likes or dislikes either – some people I can’t seem to shake, and some others I can’t seem to keep hold of. Such is life.

2. Which communication method do you usually prefer/use: e-mail, telephone, snail mail, blog comments, or meeting in person? Why?
Depends. I’m very much a telephone / text / email gal. Above everything else my favourite form of communication is email – you get to think long and hard about what to see, and then dash off a “spontaneous” reply which gives the illusion of wit and intelligence. Telephone I’m also very good on, so long as I know the person I’m talking to. If not, I lose the power of rational thought.

3. Do you have an instant messenger program? How many? Why/why not? How often do you use it?
No, I don’t. I used to have, and it really annoyed me when I got random messages from freaks on the internet wanting to call me. My sister has installed one on the computer at home though, and I keep forgetting to sign her out of it when it’s me using the computer. Therefore, a lot of her friends thinks she’s ignoring them. Har har.

4. Do most of your close friends live nearby or far away?
Far far away. Some in New Zealand, some in Australia, very much most others in Dublin. I miss everyone all the time, but it’s great to manage to stay in touch with those that I stay in touch with – I find it’s a verification of the strength of our friendships.

5. Are you an "out of sight, out of mind" person, or do you believe that "distance makes the heart grow fonder"?
Distance doesn’t help at all, and out of sight never makes one jot of difference, in my book. If you’re meant to stay in touch with someone, you always will.
