I delete

if it wasn't for the speed (and convenience) of email i would prefer snail mail to email anyday,... as in i prefer the written word to the typed word... have you ever received a letter (not an email) that letter conveys more than the words in it... if i am typing its either times new roman, comics sans, tahoma etc etc same font size mostly or a few bolds/italics... but when it is the written word it varies... if i am very excited about something my hand writing is not very neat and the alphabets are bigger.... if i am sad and not anxious the writing is very neat... if i am anxious its highly untidy and very very big... so on and so forth and sometimes in a written page i can make out my mood just by looking at the writing years afterwards.... i had come to recognize the writing of a few friends too in this way... it was closer to a face to face talk than an email....
but i preferred the written letter... so i tried making my online communication as similar to writing as i could... like while chatting i dont send a smiley unless and until i am really smiling.... i prefer not to delete stuff in an email
rather write 'went to forum sorry not forum shopper's stop" rather than delete forum and write shopper's stop....
i used to do this pretty religiously... just realised dont do it that much anymore.... but anyway....
the point is... today i deleted... deleted a blog i had written... this is a first for me.... never before have i 'destroyed' anything i have written today i did....
am feeling odd......
seems like i have changed....
dont know why i am reminded of the way jack sth says in the apartment 'and this is how it crumbles cookie wise' and i had seen that movie more than an year and a half ago... or was it in 'breakfast at tiffany's' i think apartment.... not sure...
