Very good read
http://lnk.nu/cracked.com/i3d.html

I'm lucky that I do have a great group of friends here in Austin, and in Chicago.

	"You have so much more control in Instant Messenger, or on a forum, or in World of Warcraft." That reminds me of something a co-worker said the other day. He's lived in Austin about 4 months - "I can find my way around THREE continents in WoW, get lost, and still find my way around. In Austin, I take one wrong turn and I'm screwed."

	you can trust me with your life, but please don't ever, ever, EVER subject me to pictures of The Catfish. Seeing stickcow spank your bare bottom at a NYE party was scarring enough. :P hugs (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Don't even THINK about it! What a coinky dink considering I had to call you 30 minutes later to go pick it up for me :P (Reply to this)(Parent)

	hehe, i totally understand the parts about a lowered tolerance for annoyance. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Based on your posts I'd say you are exposed to annoying people all the time, you'd think you would have built up a tolerance to it by now ;-) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

thanks, that was a good read!

and it makes me happy that my default emotion is "happy" so i filter all of my noncontextual received communicades through that vision and probably annoy people by taking what they said in too positive a light...and i'm fine with that =)

also, yay for friends that i do spend meat-time with, and yay for meeting the nutjobs that keep me from feeling too insane.

That was a good read. I'm going to have to steal it. I find much of the article a double edged sword. For the named photo test. It's not always a good metric because it's a reflection of who we trust but I am a VERY independent person. So where as I have 4-5 REALLY close friends, in life I tend to shoulder my own burden unless I HAVE TO involve others. For me, online and text is my preferred method of communication because of my life and schedule or my communication with most people would drop 80%. So where as it's no replacement for in person communication, it's far better then no communication which would happen with many of my friends, even the close ones 80% of my week, month,year,etc.

	i'm with you there. i don't like involving people too much. i vent a lot online, but i hate needing help with anything. and i prefer either text or in person...i HATE talking on the phone. i can't pay attention unless i can SEE something. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Yeah, I think there's definitely parts of this that are easily wrong in some situations. If it wasn't for online relationships I built in the late 90s, I wouldn't be here in Austin. But I think that on average, the piece is pretty accurate. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	agreed. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	You know, it may have come from Cracked, but that is actually very accurate, and right on the mark. (Reply to this)
