Who Did YOU Kiss Last Night?

I find everyone asking me that question. Haha. Some even saying “Did you have fun with Nick last night?” Uhh.. Hello… I guess people don’t listen to me when I tell them he lives in SoCal. That’s so annoying.

Nowadays, because of the new online world and all, people don’t really communicate as much as they used to. I find that most people forget the things I’ve talked about, and occasionally, I even forget things about them (Though, that seems to happen a bit less…)

This human tendency to forget what others are saying if it doesn’t have a direct affect on the listener/reader has been heightened by online communication. It’s so easy just to type “Ahh.. Uh-huh.. Wow… Nuh-uh… Teehee… Haha… Really?!.” and my all time favourite, and universal answer “^_^*”, and wait until the IM signals again.

I suppose it’s not completely bad. I mean, on one hand, the party that is speaking gets to unload what they want, to a seemingly intent listener.. and on the other hand, the person listening does not have to listen as intently as they appear to be — giving the listener some relief and the ability to do other things whilst trying to solve the former’s problems.

And so, as I go on to answer the idle questionings of the countless people IMing me… I have to wonder… How many times will the same person ask me the same question before they remember. . .
