Why I feel like blocking my best friend on IMs

X is my THE best friend. Now since I moved away to another city, we catch up on phone every now and then and more often than never, each actual phone conversation is the result of a long-drawn phone tag between the two of us. In the meantime, the list of things we want to share with each other just keeps building up; often, I actually make real lists so I remember to tell X everything that I had meant to. Yeah, most of the time its inane stuff, the kind of daily conversation I miss having with X.

Ohh..yeah we also have each other on our IM friends lists, and of course, its sometimes easier to find someone online than to find them actually pick up their phone. (Sad!). So now, instead of waiting until we actually talk on phone, all that fun stuff is spilled on IM Chat. Talking over the phone is definitely better, but then you need people who think it worth dedicating their time to listen and talk to you.Chat, is the weapon of the desperately lonely or the immensely distant(or maybe those two are really the same). I dread the day i ever say LOL in a real conversation. i've endedup typing HAHAHAHHAHAHA and *grin* instead.

We're both also the kinds who won't stop once we start, so all attempts to can the gtalk are a waste. Now real-time giggling is replaced by HAHA and HEHE and *grins*. [I miss those real-life winks ;)]. Even they have drained now a days....first you stop talking on phone and start chatting ...then chatting starts becoming boring after a while and telephonic conversations a little awkward, more artificial and mundane...

The chats are distracted, incidental and not those cosy phone talks we usually eagerly await(????) every alternate days or so. I really really really don't like this turn our friendship is taking. So now my best friend's name is in a list of glorious company of idiot folks that I find most annoying and want to block off for entirely different reasons. Hehehehe.

Its good to have real life giggling every once in a while...its so cathartic :)

On a side note - IMO Internet is good in a way but it takes away the charm of real life interaction :-)
