msn conversation between a British fruit and I.
mangoloid says:（later referred as M)
i haven't written a real paper and pen letter in a long time
Finn says: (later referred as F)
real paper? since when do we do that?
M:
older people did :P
F: i still do postcards
M says:
i'm too lazy to send postcards :(
F says:
but i do miss letter.
the stamp certain person licks...
slight traces of scent on the paper...
M says:
the pressure of the pen on paper
the crossed out mistakes
the physical connection
F says:
all very sensual
M says:
the waiting
F says:
writing a letter could be a form of foreplay!
M says:
the excitement of seeing handwritten address on an envelope
F says:
come to think of it, it makes the world better...very zeny
M says:
even more exciting when there is no return address on the back... so you don't know who sent it, only guessing from the handwriting
F says:
we should promote letter writing NOW!
even the mini trip u take from ur desk to the post office. almost a religious act
the letter is embedded with hope and good will. it is like a piece of u is sending to that person..
M says:
i read an interesting article in a computer magazine, about "what happens when we die"
F says:
some hard drive memory ...2 G.
M says:
saying that in the past, you can read a person's life from their letters that they sent and received... but now, with email, a person's history is lost when they die
F says:
but how can u entrust ur emails to others?
M says:
and the shoebox of photos is now a harddrive, maybe protected with a password
F says:
2G... that is all you have..
M says:
and like you say, maybe those photos and emails are entrusted to others, and because of privacy policy, they are not allowed to give you the information.
hahaha... 80 years of life in 2gb of badly spelt emails and mobile phone photos
