I am, basically, a bit shit.
I'm talking about the way I keep in contact with people. I don't. If I don't actually see somebody physically I simply don't bother getting in touch. Part of it is that I assume they have other, more interesting things going on in their lives - if they wanted to see or talk to me, they'd call, right? But it's also that I'm just fundamentally incapable of doing things. Even when I genuinely want to phone somebody it's always "I'll give them a ring this evening ... tomorrow ... the next day." I just never get around to things. (The two do go together - if I remember I was going to ring somebody I decide it's too late and they'll be doing something already. But usually I'll just forget.) It's easy to think Livejournal has made me lazy but actually it's increased my communication levels by a considerable amount, because I'm doing the same as I ever was but now, hey, Livejournal.
So if I don't get in touch, it's not that I don't love you. It's that I'm shit. Sorry.
