Okay, I didn't mean what you may think I meant by that. Anyway.

There's a quote that goes something like, "words are the skin on my thought." One of my friends told me that if that was true then their words must have a lot of stretch marks.

I think I agree. I have a lot of trouble talking sometimes. It's just not convienient.

I wish that we could telepathically communicate. Everything would be so much easier. Because you wouldn't have to deal with the fact that a single word means something just slightly different to you than it does to someone else. No matter how obsessively descriptive you are, you can never make someone else see exactly what you see.

While some people may say that this is wonderful because it shows how different we are and it's the reason that we can be exposed to new opinions.

But it's so incredibly frustrating when you want to get someone to understand something. Misscommunications happen so often, and even more now that we communicate mostly over the internet and now you can't even hear the emotion in people's voices.

For example, just think; someone reading this post is probably going to get something entirely different from it than I was trying to say. Though the general point is probably going to get across, people reading this will never see exactly the frustration that I feel at this. There's no way to get you to see the exact problem I see. Which makes resolving it rather difficult.

... *sigh* I'm going to go drown my frustration in hot chocolate...
