where has the art of conversation gone?
last night i was on the phone for three hours and it was basically
"uh what do you want to talk about?"
"what do you want to talk about?"

this is after i already had a nice discussion about what i had called that person to talk about.

what the hell people why can't we carry a conversation anymore?
i blame message boards and instant messaging.
by the way, I understand the irony of simultaneously decrying and using message boards, so don't bother pointing that out.

    I once had an extensive debate with some guys on a message board about how wearing the Venom Symbiote would affect synchronization with an Evangelion.

    I hated talking on phones waaaaaay before I got around to the internet

    I prefer face to face conversation.

    Harrier you're very sad.

    Maybe the conversation went dead because they'd rather take an order from Bill Clinton than hear your snooty, high-pitched voice.

    If your response to "uh what do you want to talk about?" is "what do you want to talk about?", then you're probably not to great at conversation either.

    Air show? Buzz cut Alabamians spewing colored smoke from their whiz-jets to the strains of "Rock You Like a Hurricane"? What kind of country-fried rube is still impressed by that?
