when words fail

i love the internet.

there. i've said it. it's true. i love the internet. i'd rather send an e-mail than use the phone. i'd rather google information than ask someone standing next me.

but words just can't do justice in a situation that requires action. and sometimes, like tonight, i'm overwhelmed by the insufficiency of the internet. sometimes, words are just not enough.

edit/addition: the art of companionable silence (which, quite frankly, i rock at) is lost online, and there is no textual equivalent to be found.

Amen, Sister! I too love the internet. And ironically, moments ago, I just finished reading "Into the Wild", which I loved. I appreciated the solitude of going out into the wilderness, yet, here I am, as soon as I finished, reading every blog I could think of.
