- Tending to talk a lot
The last place I believe myself to be garrulous is online. And yet, here I sit, 8 o'clock at night with a bowl of cut peaches to my left, a television with a rerun of NCIS to my right, and my laptop stationed in front of me, ready to be a little talkative with the anonymous world of the Internet once again.
I may not be a talker to strangers in real life, but online? Just call me Phyllis Diller.
...
That may have been the incorrect pop culture reference. Nonetheless.
While this may not be considered "talking" in the strictest of senses, I do consider the act of blogging, of Tweeting, of merely submitting a status update to be conversation in key-strokes. I put it out there; you read it or do not. In everyday life, I may put a statement out there; you hear it or do not. The real difference here - in this online area - is that my key-strokes have the potential to live forever in zeros and ones. It's a beautiful disaster waiting to happen.
So, for tonight, I withdraw my garrulous activities for the promise of another day. As Phyllis Diller said:
Aim high, and you won't shoot your foot off....again, wrong reference.
