Jingei finished next to last final. One more tomorrow.
don’t do this nearly enough.
How I did it: It took about a year for Facebook to really gain steam for me and once it did, it replaced pretty much everything else online (IM, email, etc) for keeping up with friends. Couldn't have written a better tool myself! Read how I did it…

OK, this is definetly a task for the whole life. To be able to tick it of one day I’ve to do the following:
I’ll be moving soon. Instead of writing a mass email to all my friends and relatives I’d like to use the opportunity to write personal emails or phone them to tell them my new address and to catch up with some news. After this I want to contact everybody I’d like to stay in touch with at least once again to then tick this off.
When contacting people I should actually try and encourage them to visit me or to meet somewhere else. Seeing somebody is better than 10 emails.
This is a never ending task and has always bothers me. I really want to do this but at the same time I never get around to actually do it. Maybe having this entry will help me.
It should be so easy with everybody having email. But instead of dropping a few lines now and then I always intend to write a long, nice, informative letter-like email and of course never do it …
To change this might be a first step.
As we all go off to university or on our gap years this autumn, its not going to be so easy to keep up with each other’s lives. So I will be making a special effort via phone, email and journeys around the country to stay in touch with those that mean most. Not such a hardship really :-)
I am really bad about keeping in touch with my friend and family..that does not mean that I dont care…I simply cannot just pick up the phone just to say..Hi…If there is stuff to be discussed or conversation is required…I call.
I dont understand what I can talk about to people everyday..what do they talk about..?Dnt get me wrong I am not at all a shy person..or less talkative..but if I have somethg to say…I will call.
Ohhh…I am terrible, have to change that..will call my friends right now.
I need to keep in touch with my friends. I have been so busy (or may be lazy). A few of my good friends are in different countries so its really hard for me to stay in touch with them. But I wish to call them once a while. I also need to stay in touch with my cousins, they live in London. They think I am too selfish, only worrying about myself. They are mad because I dont keep it touch with them, return their emails a month later, never call them. I do agree, its my fault. I need to organize myself.
Most of my good friends are in Singapore where I grew up in. A few in Paris where I did my Post-Grad. And a few more scattered around the world as they, like me, moved around. And I still keep in touch with some of the 40 pen-pals I used to have around the world and I hope to meet all of them in person one day.
Should be the 19 of april, is my best friend’s birthday . I’m checking flights now and trying to get in touch with italian friends to go there all together!!!

wildefae asks,
“So...do any of you have social anxiety? Mine's horrible. I get to the point where I'm afraid my friends don't really care about talking to me, and it stops me from getting on AIM or making that call, even if I'd enjoy it once it was done. How do you cope?”
