Skype Therapy

Skype, for those of you who don't know, is a software application that allows users to make voice calls over the Internet. I cannot decide how I feel about randomly skyping people, but I do know how I feel about skyping my best friends. It is therapy. In college when some of our best friends are not with us and we need to talk to them about our lives we now that the technology to see them and have conversations with them over the computer. I do not get to see my best friends everyday but at least once a week I skype my good friend Ali and it truly makes my week SO much better. I get to laugh and just talk and hang out with her all thanks to this little technological, and FREE tool. I also think it will be vital to me when I study abroad so I can see my family and friends through my travels and things in foreign countries.

I just wish I knew how I felt about skyping randoms. They are all my friends and I would definitely talk to them in a face to face situation, but I dont know how I feel about "calling" them and chatting. So how do you feel about this? Is it akward? Should skype be limited to only intimate chats with close friends and family? We could get into the whole "skype sex" thing but thats just a little too far and too akward for me!

Amor,
Ashley
