How do you communicate?

For me, how all depends on who/what/when/where/why. I'm mostly a backgroud kind of person, not that great at being sociable. At work I'll go around in person (small office), dislike using the phone, but will use email if I'm asked to. I'm an intern, so I really don't do a lot of communications-stuff except looking for jobs to work on. My family is easiest to call because they're 2-3 hours away most of the time, and my parents aren't big fans of the internet, but sometimes we email. I use aim with my brother sometimes.

Friends are most awesome to hang out with in person. Internet and phones simply don't cut it, although iming is good for when we can't hang out. I do prefer im for some types of conversations, though. Heavy topics like politics, religion, philosophy, etc are easier to keep track of in type, because I can look back on what we've said and take time to shape my thoughts into understandable format. It's also sometimes easier for me to be witty online than in person.

Also, it's rude to multitask on the phone or in person, and incredibly hard to get work done at the same time. On the internet, however, I can switch back and forth between windows of play and windows of work and windows of conversation without offending anyone, and often end up with a greater quantity of higher quality work than if I was just trying to work and nothing else. It gets me in trouble sometimes when people think I'm just goofing off, but it's just how I roll best.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
