When to Meet and When to Uplink

Student "edition" found at {csi dot journalspace dot com}.

Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

Today in my two online journals I have passed the one thousand eight hundred mark.

In the past four years, the first two of those have been purely here and the last two were with the student accessible version for two entries a day.

It's getting more and more difficult to come up with new things that I have "learned" in the large amount of time I have been doing this, but it doesn't mean I have run out yet.

One of the things I have avoided writing here in the past, besides not posting for several days or weeks or months in a row so people who I don't contact by other means don't think I'm dead, is to write explicitly here about some other event that I have been part of with people who I know read my journal.

It's not just about not wanting to recount things that I know some of my readers already know about (after all, I doubt there will be any event that all of my readers will go to) but in again preventing writing something that someone else could just read or find out about in someone else's online posts.

As I said before, for such all-encompassing occurences, I have to have a unique take in the matter, and I don't mean stooping down to writing "I really liked the company of so-and-so" just because you know she-or-he reads what you write.

If you can't say to someone's face that you enjoy being with them, and have to say it on the web, then there's something wrong with you.

Besides, its could lead to endless virtual back-patting: "Thanks! Your presence and conversation was fun too! Hope we go out again!"

Needing to say negative things about someone is another matter though.

Still, breaking up with someone or backing out of a verbally agreed deal has to be done in person, or at least on the phone and not by text.

The other person deserves that much to be able to respond or ask for details face to face.

Session 1801 wished everything could be done online. Class dismissed.
