Have you ever met a person who talks like fireworks? He keeps speaking, excitedly, while I am following the trail of that one thought from five seconds ago, the other explosions all around it, some glowing on its smoke, until it is gone.
Happy St-Jean Baptiste Day, Montreal.
This is how conversations in Instant Messenger windows often occur, with two conversations going on as two people ask each other different questions and respond to each others thoughts in rapid fire. Literally two conversations with extremely different topics can run parallel in one window between two people. It’s a bit exhausting to keep up but it can be done and afterward I often feel the need for a cigarette…
I am the person who talks like fireworks.
Me too!
‘When the stars came down,
I was higher than the 4th of July.
Blitzin’ right across the sky!
High, high, higher…’

While I can manage 3 or 4 IM sessions at once, I’m limitted to one or two channels of audio at best. With some aimless speakers, not even that connects…
I get that feeling form texting to many people at once. I’ll ask someone the same questions and to answer something I need to review what I have already written. I don’t know why I keep putting myself in these kinds of situations.
that’s why i dig the iphone. IM style texting is really helpful. =]
