Conversation vs. Small talk

Mar 22, 2008 00:33

I noticed recently that I haven't had a real conversation in forever. My life is full of small talk and monologue, and I'm always either at work or somewhere else where I can't really say what I really want to.

I guess I'll try to call you more often. Maybe that will help cure some of what ails me.

OK, feel free to give me a ring if you're bored, especially between midnight and 3:30 my time, that's when nothing good is on TV and my man isn't home.

I would offer to do collaborations and stuff if you didn't live fifty miles away (or somewhere around there). I miss doing interesting projects too. :(

I would talk to you, but you have no telephone.

I assume you're referring to a cell phone.

Basically, yeah. Also, I don't know what times you're awake.
