online chat is a very weird thing. weird in a good way or weird in a bad way, i have not the slightest clue. i find it odd how people that you see and talk to every day in the "real" world can have absolutely nothing to talk about online. once the "what'sup/notmuch" stage has passed, the conversation comes to a dead halt. it was just recently, now, in fact that i realized this was, in essence, what our "real life" conversations consisted of. and now i think, well, what about people who you've never met? over the summer i stayed up until five o'clock in the morning, discussing views and theories on politics, religion, society, and just life. i've formed bonds people across the country that i could never manage to forge with people i saw on a regular basis. this is a little discouraging, and even more so when i (just) realized that 99% or more of my friendships are based on a "what'sup/notmuch" foundation. i must do something about this.
