"It seems to be a thing that's catching, this closed-ness; I caught it from others. Of many of you, all I have are these little bits of text. That's all I have of you. I want to know what's going on. I'm listening, so tell me. I don't need a bigger f-list; I don't need to go looking for others through the most tenuous connections. I talk to people all day, and many of them are smart and clever. So smart and clever that they talk without saying much. That's the way it is in everyday life, anyway. We wear so many layers that we rarely touch skin."
Too true.
