Gchat Realizations: Part 1

If you are anything like me, first, you can consider yourself lucky. And second, you can be sure that you g-chat at work. For those of you who don't know about g-chat (ahem, mom and dad), I will enlighten you. G-chat is a tool within Google E-mail (aka Gmail) wherein you can chat instantly a la AOL with your fellow Gmail users and friends. It is not only a place to connect, but with my friends it also seems to be a place where wit and whimsy run a muck.

I have often found that this magical place called g-chat is also a place where I learn a lot about myself. Case in point is in a chat I had yesterday with my friend Tim. It went something like this:

Tim: I found the coolest day drinking place this weekend
you'd LOVE it

2:39 PM
me: i already love it
Tim: floating bar on the Potomac, sort of Mexico feel, minus the 19yr olds
me: shut up!!!
Tim: amazing
me: sounds perfect
Tim: i met a girl there, was her suggestion
i'm stoked on it
me: i like her
Tim: ha she texted me...."i love daydrinking"

2:40 PM
Tim: what does it say about me that that is a turn on?
me: that is awesome
it's not weird - i am turned on by that
too
Tim: hahaha
nice

Because I absolutely love my friend Tim, as well as his new suggested day-drinking place, I love this conversation. I have also learned from this two things. 1. Tim still knows me really well (despite the many miles we live apart), and 2. that apparently, girls that like day-drinking are automatically on my "I like you" list. Good to know. Thanks, g-chat.
