1. Would you say that you’re good at keeping in touch with people?
Mostly, yeah. Especially if they have email. :)
2. Which communication method do you usually prefer/use: e-mail, telephone, snail mail, blog comments, or meeting in person? Why?
Email, baby, email. It’s easy – one program. Instant messaging is a close second – I love my Trillian.
3. Do you have an instant messenger program? How many? Why/why not? How often do you use it?
I use Trillian, and have profiles on AIM, ICQ, Y!M, and MSN (EalasaidH, 45667358, EalasaidH, and EalasaidH respectively). (I’d post a link to each messenger service but am too lazy. Just get Trillian, it rules!) The best thing about Trillian is that it lets you connect with multiple chat programs with just one program. That way I don’t have to have a zillion progs open at one time. Also, it allows you to chat securely over the other wise insecure AIM. Woo woo.
4. Do most of your close friends live nearby or far away?
About half and half. I have close friends scattered around the globe.
5. Are you an “out of sight, out of mind” person, or do you believe that “distance makes the heart grow fonder”?
Distance makes the heart grow fonder.
