backupdump002Hey, I have kind of a weird question--
Do you prefer bleeps or silence (or some other noise) when it comes to censoring? Do you find particular options annoying or distracting?
I was just sort of wondering about this because I was talking to a friend a while ago, and I prefer bleeps because it continues the noise so it feels more like it... is part of the sentence or something while she prefers silence since the bleeps are jarring to her. So now I'm all curious about what other people think dkjfgh. LET ME KNOW
Aaaaand as long as I'm posting, I'm going to go ahead and mash this in here because I've been running into it a bit: Uhh, if you think I'm not paying enough attention to you, then chances are I have no idea whether you want me to or not, hahaha. I have a bad habit of going PFF WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO TALK TO ME WHO CARES by default, so I just sort of assume that anyone friending this journal is doing it for link posts or something and if someone doesn't initiate an IM conversation then they don't want to talk/are busy, without really considering that it could go both ways and the other person is assuming the exact same thing. IT'S A VICIOUS CYCLE
SO
Let me know about that, too! Don't feel pressured to say anything either way; I'm not going to cry if you don't comment, and I'm not going to bite your head off if you say you want to talk to me more. I'M JUST TRYING TO AVOID MISUNDERSTANDINGS since I'm kind of a moron at reading between the lines and things like that, ahahaha.
I have had "Womanizer" stuck in my head since yesterday why wont it stop

Date: 2009-03-01 04:18 am (UTC)Actually, come to think of it, when it comes to MUSIC I hate it when there's bleeps and greatly prefer silence (if I have to choose, anyway, haha). It's jarring during regular speech, though, for some reason. :Oa
DUDE I KNOW I have no idea how to strike up conversations and keep them going akdhjgfa. That's the main reason why I let other people just come to me (aside from shyness and being afraid that the other person is busy/cranky/doesn't want to talk to me/something dkfjgh). I've found that it kind of helps to just... keep having conversations with someone, though, because after a while you warm up to each other and don't really NEED a topic to talk about; you can make something out of anything. It's just GETTING to that point that's hard, hahaha.
