voices and names.

its late at night.
and as per usual.
i'm on msn.
talking to people i like.

and discussing the ability to pick up inflection from text.
its strange. but if you know the person reasonably well it actually isn't that difficult.
as human beings we have ways and manners of saying things which we use often.
this transposes to our typed speech and can be noticed if observed carefully.
but the question is.
how well do you need to know somebody before you can do this?
are some people just genuinely better at this.
do you need to know the person intimately, or just talk to them a lot?
or is it some strange mix in between.
who knows.

continuing from here my mind went wierd and wonderful places.
basically trailing the thoughts of the abyss.
but i was drawn to the significance of using somebody elses name.
think about it.
how often in speech do you directly reference somebody?
its not really that often
but yet, by doing so, the meaning or intention of what you say, can quite easily be changed.

personally i'm quite fond of using names.
do it to often.
people often take it incorrectly.
but i also enjoy hearing my own.
egotistical? a little.
no - i think it just feels - intimate. because nobody does it nowadays.

anyways.
thats my little rant fot his evening.
goodnight all
