Are tweets our new correspondence?

I feel like every time I post, what I actually want to say is overshadowed by me apologizing to myself for never posting. So I'm not going to do that

It's funny, I've been thinking about the exact same thing. I miss writing, as well, but no longer post my life details publicly on blogs (after one too many incidences of Creepy Dudes). And the friends I have either live in my city, and therefore don't write long letters to me, or are too busy for letters at all.

I need a penpal too, I think... or maybe a secret cabal of women who share long letters about their lives and what they've been thinking. It could be called the Reply All Conspiracy.

I just feel like since Facebook, most of my friends don't really call to talk on the phone either. They just assume I saw their Facebook post. Even my friends who I don't see very often. Maybe it's also the growing up and getting jobs and getting busy thing. But I feel like since college, I haven't had an honest conversation with someone that wasn't one of the following: What did you do today? Did you see Silver Linings Playbook? Was it good? Good. Where do you want to go for dinner? Person A and Person B broke up. I never liked him/her anyway

Congrats on getting published!
That's awesome. :)
