Friday Five

1. Would you say that you're good at keeping in touch with people?

Yes, in fact some friends might say I go overboard in that department.

2. Which communication method do you usually prefer/use: e-mail, telephone, snail mail, blog comments, or meeting in person? Why?

PDA reminders, then a combination of e-mail, telephone and snail mail for cards, mostly. I rely on the telephone to compensate for distance, time zone differences and the sometimes impersonal nature of e-mail.

3. Do you have an instant messenger program? How many? Why/why not? How often do you use it?

Uh yea, you can contact me on Y! Messenger, MSN Messenger or ICQ (see CHAT section for details). It all started at work, ironically enough. It's in use constantly, I'm afraid.

4. Do most of your close friends live nearby or far away?

My closest friends live in time zones different from my own.

5. Are you an "out of sight, out of mind" person, or do you believe that "distance makes the heart grow fonder"?

There used to be an inside joke about "distance making the heart go wander", so either way, I'm not an "out of sight, out of mind"person.
