QotD: K.I.T.

Phone calls, emails, text messages, facebook, Morse code or something else... How do you like to stay in touch with your friends?

You put what in my coffee?

I would prefer morse code to texting any day. In fact I think it's a brilliant idea. I despise cell phones, quite honestly. I like good old fashioned wireless telephones (okay, somewhat modern) where I can stroll in the back yard while talking to my buddies.

One of my best cohort friends and I simply use the phone to decide when and where to meet - usually at a local coffee shop. My other botanist friend and I spent yesterday in the Herbarium at school chatting while she dried her plants - she found a carnivorous plant on her hike, too!

And while I'm at it, I may as well confess that about 90 percent of my closest friends are here on Vox. While it's convenient to chat at home, I would prefer about 30 percent here on Vox, 40 percent through email and 30 percent at local coffee houses. I like letters too. In college I would sketch strange beasts on my letters and hand-deliver them to my friends on campus, just for fun.

Feel free to message me if you want my email. I wish I could just send smoke signals or send a static wave to each of you once in a while. Maybe JLo will give me one of those nifty mirrors she gave to that little kid in The Cell. Then you all could find our meeting place.
