The Witness

Thank you all for your comments. I’ll reply to them as soon as I can (sorry).

The baby and Mom are now home and doing great! They just came from a pediatrics appointment - Susanna has gained a whole ounce (applause)! She’s now 5 lb, 10 oz’s.

I’ll be posting more videos of her and the rest of the family soon.

Right now, I’d like to post a good reason to have a FaceBook. My next post will be negative against FaceBook. By the way, never start a FaceBook or any other blog without checking with your parents first if you are underage and/or still under their roof.

I was on my FaceBook the other day, which is something to blog about in and of itself since I never get on there (sorry guys). And I was playing one of the games on there. I think it was the Acbucks Pubdarts. Anyhow, it was a game with a little chat room convo underneath. Well, I couldn’t figure the dumb game out so I thought I’d join the convo with a nice icebreaker like:

Hello, does anyone believe in Heaven? Will we go there when we die?

Well, as you may know, FaceBook was/is invented and used by college-aged kids. And all they’re concerned about is what they can get out of life and such. Who wants to talk about anything after wonderful life? Boring…

Though, to my surprise, I got a few responses. I was sorta figuring they’d all blow me off but I got a few, “ah, it’s too late at night for that man,” and, “you shouldn’t think about death. They put guys like you in rehab for thinking about death all the time…” and, “why do you ask? Gonna come kill me?” and, fortunately, “yeah sure, heaven is that place I’ll go when I die.”

Haha, seriously. I got replies of every kind. Well, as the chat when on, I found that most everyone blocked me but a few. One girl was saying that she believed in heaven and, of course, earth. But not hell or God. So I asked her. “Who made heaven? It obviously didn’t get here by chance like some think the earth did.” She wasn’t quite sure how to answer so I continued to talk. “Who made you?” She replied, “my mom.” “Hahaha, right, and her mom made her and her mom made her and so on… but that didn’t go on forever. So it all had to have started with someone. But who? Someone made the first Mom and Dad.” Well, as this went on, she finally admitted that there must be a God of some kind but promptly had to go shortly after. Which was quite unfortunate. I was glad when I asked Eric to jump into the convo with me and he did. Two ganged up on one is always better.

:D

Well, I had similar conversations with a few other people but they either ended with them blocking me or them telling me to get a life and stop talking to them. Hahaha, not too many showed a very gainful interest. That is, no one but one guy.

His name is C*******. He doesn’t believe in a God or a Hell. But he does believe in Heaven. Who created his Heaven? He himself!

He says he has never sinned (unfortunately, I don’t have that convo where he says that). Never! He has never lied or stolen or hated.

He is from Asia somewhere and his English is excellent, considering.

 

He is 17.

After a short time of explaining his beliefs and telling us to remember them, he had to go. But he wanted to contact me again; this is good news.

So, I gave him my Y! And the very next day…

Yahoo! Messenger (11/20/2007 3:03:54 PM): C******* has joined the conference.

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:04:17 PM): Hello

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:04:21 PM): Yay

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:04:24 PM): It worked

Eric Novak (11/20/2007 3:04:25 PM): hey how are you doing dude?

C******* (11/20/2007 3:04:36 PM): fine

C******* (11/20/2007 3:04:44 PM): how bout you?

Eric Novak (11/20/2007 3:04:51 PM): I’m doing good

Eric Novak (11/20/2007 3:05:17 PM): found some fun stuff for you last night

C******* (11/20/2007 3:05:24 PM): what is that?

Eric Novak (11/20/2007 3:05:31 PM): hold on, let me paste them in

Eric Novak (11/20/2007 3:06:24 PM): This is really neat; it proves that there was a maker of the universe

Eric Novak (11/20/2007 3:06:26 PM): 1). Gravity is roughly 10.39 times weaker than electromagnetism. If gravity had been 10.33 times weaker than electromagnetism, “stars would be a billion times less massive and would burn a million times faster.” 2). The nuclear weak force is 10.28 times the strength of gravity. Had the weak force been slightly weaker, all the hydrogen in the universe would have been turned to helium making water impossible! 3). A stronger nuclear strong force (by as little as 2 percent) would have prevented the formation of protons – yielding a universe without atoms. Decreasing it by 5 percent would have given us a universe without stars.

C******* (11/20/2007 3:06:55 PM): I don’t think that is funny

C******* (11/20/2007 3:07:13 PM): I mean that is not fun

Eric Novak (11/20/2007 3:07:20 PM): lol, it is not supposed to be funny, it is supposed to be neat, look at it dude

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:07:26 PM): Haha, wow that is really interesting

Eric Novak (11/20/2007 3:07:37 PM): if anything had been off by a tiny bit, we wouldn’t be here!

C******* (11/20/2007 3:07:38 PM): swt…

C******* (11/20/2007 3:07:47 PM): maybe I’m not in your world

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:07:52 PM): well, that is quite amazing

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:08:11 PM): Ha-ha, well, sense we know you are…

C******* (11/20/2007 3:08:15 PM): lol

Eric Novak (11/20/2007 3:08:17 PM): Chris, we know you are in our world

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:08:19 PM): …there is no point in going there Dude

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:08:37 PM): so,

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:08:48 PM): what do you think of that?

C******* (11/20/2007 3:08:58 PM): that is normal

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:09:03 PM): ha

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:09:37 PM): chance?

C******* (11/20/2007 3:09:53 PM): no

C******* (11/20/2007 3:10:07 PM): it is because it should be like that

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:10:10 PM): So, someone put it all there?

C******* (11/20/2007 3:10:16 PM): impossible

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:10:18 PM): it got there some how

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:10:21 PM): Space, earth

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:10:28 PM): it didn’t always exist

C******* (11/20/2007 3:10:32 PM): if someone can do so why don’t he wanna do it to another planet

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:10:55 PM): uh?

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:11:04 PM): he did that to the whole universe

C******* (11/20/2007 3:11:05 PM): just make it happen on earth

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:11:15 PM): the whole physical realm

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:11:29 PM): was created by a being much more powerful than us

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:11:39 PM): God

Eric and I had established a relationship with this guy. He was interested to hear what we had to say. I was so glad that he had questions. He couldn’t understand how it is possible for “a god” to exist (I like how Eric threw these neat little facts in). So we went on to chat further…

C******* (11/20/2007 3:11:44 PM): So, how big is He?

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:11:54 PM): size?

C******* (11/20/2007 3:11:57 PM): yes

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:12:09 PM): you are thinking in a physical mindset

Eric Novak (11/20/2007 3:12:14 PM): did you know that if you stretched out your DNA in a line it would reach to the sun and back 48 times? Chance couldn’t have made it

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:12:43 PM): Does the actual size of God matter?

Eric Novak (11/20/2007 3:12:46 PM): that is 45,000,000,000 miles of DNA!

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:12:51 PM): he is in charge of everything

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:12:53 PM): he made it all

C******* (11/20/2007 3:13:02 PM): no

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:13:02 PM): he is obviously powerful enough

C******* (11/20/2007 3:13:08 PM): it happens in chance

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:13:31 PM): ah, so it all happened by chance

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:13:33 PM): ?

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:13:36 PM): hmm

C******* (11/20/2007 3:13:38 PM): yes

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:13:48 PM): wow takes a lot of faith to believe that

Eric Novak (11/20/2007 3:14:15 PM): dude, you have 120 million rods and 7 million cones in one square inch behind your eye. How many times can you roll dice and it make that?

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:14:16 PM): ok

C******* (11/20/2007 3:14:17 PM): it is true

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:14:26 PM): so let’s just say chance set everything just the way it is

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:14:31 PM): then,

C******* (11/20/2007 3:14:57 PM): but eyes grow naturally

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:15:02 PM): how did the material

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:15:06 PM): get here?

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:15:08 PM): get made?

Eric Novak (11/20/2007 3:15:17 PM): right

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:15:21 PM): if chance poisoned it all right

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:15:32 PM): where did chance get the “stuff”

I think I made the mistake of talking too much; I should have let him lead the convo more.

So, even though I didn’t get my last question answered, we (Eric and I) let him take the convo.

C******* (11/20/2007 3:15:33 PM): I feel so upset

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:15:39 PM): you do?

C******* (11/20/2007 3:15:41 PM): you keep asking me question

C******* (11/20/2007 3:15:55 PM): and I’ve got a lot of question wanna ask too

Eric Novak (11/20/2007 3:15:56 PM): Well man, that is your conscience moving in you

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:15:56 PM): well, buddy, you asked me a lot of questions

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:16:00 PM): we’re just talking

C******* (11/20/2007 3:16:06 PM): as I follow what you guys said

C******* (11/20/2007 3:16:14 PM): I think of the God

C******* (11/20/2007 3:16:22 PM): and a lot of question exist

Eric Novak (11/20/2007 3:16:33 PM): ok, ask away, we can tell you

C******* (11/20/2007 3:16:36 PM): and I still cannot find the answer

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:17:01 PM): (but remember, you haven’t answered about the beginning of time and the existence of the physical realm)

C******* (11/20/2007 3:17:02 PM): you know any priest or someone who had more understanding about god?

I could tell he was truly interested now! I when on to answer…

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:17:26 PM): we can help you with what we know

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:17:28 PM): ask us

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:17:32 PM): and we will try

C******* (11/20/2007 3:17:33 PM): 1st how can god exist?

C******* (11/20/2007 3:17:38 PM): who create god?

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:17:45 PM): he has always existed

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:17:52 PM): it’s hard for us to think that

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:17:53 PM): way

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:17:58 PM): because we are man

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:17:59 PM): and man

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:18:07 PM): is used to a beginning and an end…

C******* (11/20/2007 3:18:12 PM): why he don’t wanna tell us in the bible?

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:18:13 PM): …so we think everything is like that

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:18:17 PM): which is true

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:18:26 PM): that is the sate of the physical realm

C******* (11/20/2007 3:18:29 PM): than how he exists

C******* (11/20/2007 3:18:44 PM): why?

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:18:51 PM): God may not answer every question

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:19:01 PM): we may not be able to understand him

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:19:04 PM): not even I…

C******* (11/20/2007 3:19:11 PM): so how should I believe him

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:19:15 PM): …we can not defend Gods position…

C******* (11/20/2007 3:19:18 PM): if I’m doubt of him

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:19:18 PM): …we are man

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:19:27 PM): and only know as much as God has it

Eric Novak (11/20/2007 3:19:36 PM): God is spiritual not physical, spiritual stuff doesn’t have an end and beginning

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:19:50 PM): right

C******* (11/20/2007 3:20:08 PM): how can spiritual stuff create physical stuff?

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:20:17 PM): only that, that is physical knows of and end and begining

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:20:26 PM): God is God

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:20:36 PM): he’s is all powerful

C******* (11/20/2007 3:20:42 PM): stop! End and beginning I don’t understand what are you talking about

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:21:23 PM): you know what I mean by that?

C******* (11/20/2007 3:21:28 PM): yes

Eric Novak (11/20/2007 3:21:34 PM): God is eternal. He had no origin. He is the everlasting I AM. No one “made” him. He simply IS.

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:21:37 PM): we are in this realm of atoms and matter and time

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:21:49 PM): right

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:21:59 PM): but all we know in this physical realm

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:22:01 PM): is

C******* (11/20/2007 3:22:04 PM): i don’t understand what is realm

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:22:32 PM): the earth was made and someday will be destroyed

C******* (11/20/2007 3:22:37 PM): so we’ll become spiritual?

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:22:42 PM): (even evolutionists believe that)

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:22:47 PM): well

C******* (11/20/2007 3:22:52 PM): oh thank you

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:22:56 PM): there is one little part of us that is spiritual

Eric Novak (11/20/2007 3:23:06 PM): (our souls)

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:23:07 PM): and that’s what sets us apart from animal

Ok, we almost lost him there. Haha, he’s talking about the other night on Facebook. He told us some of his beliefs and told us to remember them. This was the time to let him take the convo wherever he wants.

Yahoo! Messenger (11/20/2007 3:47:14 PM): Eric Novak has left the conference.

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:49:10 PM): the earth is not PERMENTLY polluted

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:49:18 PM): because we burn coal or whatever

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:49:31 PM): and you’ll see

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:49:39 PM): the rain cleans the earth

C******* (11/20/2007 3:49:51 PM): how about the desert?

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:49:55 PM): the global warming is a natural cycle of the earth

C******* (11/20/2007 3:50:06 PM): no

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:50:10 PM): the media is only recently freaking out about it

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:50:20 PM): making it seem like a bigger deal

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:50:38 PM): the earth recycles all matter

C******* (11/20/2007 3:50:46 PM): when you use pollute the earth it make it happen faster

C******* (11/20/2007 3:51:20 PM): no

C******* (11/20/2007 3:51:30 PM): the CO2 is still there

C******* (11/20/2007 3:51:38 PM): only the dust can be clean

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:51:42 PM): “man” is too insignificant to make a global difference

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:51:47 PM): don’t you understand that

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:52:00 PM): the earth is huge our sky is huge

C******* (11/20/2007 3:52:10 PM): you are too christian

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:52:11 PM): we are too small to make a difference on it

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:52:19 PM): it’ll go in its natural cycle

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:52:23 PM): we can’t stop that

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:52:26 PM): we can’t help that

C******* (11/20/2007 3:52:38 PM): we have generation gap although we are in same age

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:52:41 PM): the little bit that we “pollute” is nothing

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:52:52 PM): the news wants you to think it is tough

C******* (11/20/2007 3:52:54 PM): no it makes sense

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:53:16 PM): the news is trying to make you believe these lie’s, Dude

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:53:33 PM): I think we should take care of what god has given us

C******* (11/20/2007 3:53:34 PM): i didn’t read news

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:53:45 PM): you heard this lie from somewhere

C******* (11/20/2007 3:53:50 PM): that is one of my experience

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:53:51 PM): from school

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:53:54 PM): from tv

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:54:01 PM): from book

C******* (11/20/2007 3:54:04 PM): that is one of my experience

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:54:16 PM): you only know of this not because you have experienced it

C******* (11/20/2007 3:54:19 PM): i do experiment on it

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:54:22 PM): but only because you were told

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:54:40 PM): it’s true that you’ve experienced hoter days or whatever

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:54:44 PM): but that is natural

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:55:46 PM): that is a natural cycle of the earth

C******* (11/20/2007 3:55:49 PM): but once we do that together

C******* (11/20/2007 3:56:41 PM): but you make it faster

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:56:46 PM): you have heard this lie from wrong people

C******* (11/20/2007 3:56:55 PM): not wrong people

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:56:57 PM): you should research it and look at both sides your self

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:57:43 PM): it’ll happen by itself, Dude

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:57:52 PM): natural

C******* (11/20/2007 3:57:57 PM): btw you’re not really understanding the bible

C******* (11/20/2007 3:58:36 PM): I mean I did

paulsuarez1 (11/20/2007 3:58:38 PM): it says God made the earth

Anyhow, it went on and on and for a moment there, it just felt like a big lousy argument. Going back and forth with this guy but finally, it rounded off.

It was great to be able to talk to this kid. He was willing to hear our views with an open mind.

And as you can see, it all ended well.

C******* (11/20/2007 4:26:20 PM): coz you’re young

C******* (11/20/2007 4:26:27 PM): at least you’re genius

C******* (11/20/2007 4:26:28 PM): lol

Paul Suarez (11/20/2007 4:26:32 PM): hahahah

Paul Suarez (11/20/2007 4:26:42 PM): well, you are very smart yourself

C******* (11/20/2007 4:27:11 PM): so tell me when you start to write those thing

I thank God for the chance that Eric and I had to witness to him. And now that he is on my Yahoo IM, I can talk to him more often.

He hasn’t started an HSB blog yet. But says he will soon.

If any of you have a FaceBook, let me know and maybe we can do a group witness of some kind.

Thanks for reading this LONG entry. This may be the longest you’ve ever stayed on my blog in one period, no?

:D

    It was so neat being able to witness to Chris. Lets pray that God moves in him.

    Thanks for inviting me to witness with you!

    Eric

  2. Matt Says:

    Wow, that’s great! I’ll be praying that he comes to Christ!

  3. Joe Says:

    Paul, it doesn’t matter if we pollute the earth or not since that’s not the matter. We are aliens, strangers, travelers passing through this place to something more important. It matters to those without Christ because they can only see the here and now. Who cares if we are using too much electricity (if you don’t care about the bill ;)), or use up all the oil? It’ll bring us Home faster!

  4. Melanie H. Says:

    Ha! Yeppers, only I got off half way and came back later to read the rest. That’s fantastic that y’all are doing this. I’ll keep this situation in prayer, and I hope you get through to him sometime.

    Baby Susanna is adorable! I’m glad she’s home now. :D

    -Mellie

  5. Matt Says:

    Well I don’t think I agree with you there, Joe. I think that we should be good stewards and take care of what God has given us. That doesn’t mean I think we should ban electricity and oil consuming vehicles. Yes, we are just passing through, but we ought to respect what God has made while we’re here.

  6. Matt Says:

    Joe, I think we should be good stewards and take care of what God has given us. That doesn’t mean I think we should ban electricity and automobiles. Yes, we are just passing through, but we ought to take care of what God has made while we’re here.

    Too bad “linux rocks” doesn’t work in the little security box. :-)

  7. Paul Says:

    Well said, Matt!

    Joe, like I said before, I agree with this part of what you said:

    “We are aliens, strangers, travelers passing through this place to something more important. It matters to those without Christ because they can only see the here and now.”

    Unfortuanetely I do not agrre with you here:

    “…it doesn’t matter if we pollute the earth or not since that’s not the matter.”

    I appreciate you sharing your views though and we can continue to talk about this on or off the blogs.

    Haha, Good Idea, Matt.
    I just might add that to the security question list…

    :D

  8. Matt Says:

    In response to Paul’s comment on my blog:

    Unfortunately I don’t know a bit about web coding. I used to know a few basics like how to add text and graphics, but I know absolutely nothing about this css, php and whatever else I hear my sister talk about.

    Great, now I have to type “suse 10.2″ …wait, am I giving the hackers clues?
    Have you added ubuntu yet?

  9. Jocelyn Says:

    Hey there dude. So glad you got to comment. I know things have been crazy there. I bet Sus is really sweet… and I believe you when you say she weighs nothing! haha

    So when you coming up? Next week? Alright…. I can wait until next month, I suppose.

    And yes, make a smilie for it. Isn’t he cool>>> {|:D
    Hahaha….

    Well, still trying to get my wordpress all setup. Eric is so busy. Doesn’t have too much time for me. I did post a few pages on my wp - just to get started.

    Lol, dude you so should read Narnia! It is A ++

    Anyway, ask me all your Narnia question. HA HA!

    I’m awake now btw.

    Erci

  11. Vicki Says:

    *LOL* @ Eric’s comment about being awake now!!

    Thanks for commenting Paul…I am glad to know that Mom and baby are doing well, and are home now!! Is there anything you all need for the baby??

    Great conversation…I wouldn’t be much help witnessing, even if I did have facebook, as I’m just learning myself..*L* But it’s great help to read people like you and Eric, and Jacque…

    God Bless!!!

  12. Timothy Says:

    Well, I don’t actually have the song, but I guess I could put up a link to their Napster page. I think I will . . .

    I bet the movies of Susanna are cute. :) Unfortunately I doubt if they’d ever load on my stone age connection.

    Hey, you and Eric did a great job with that guy. I bet it was a really frustrating discussion. Hopefully something will come of it.

    And when it comes to our little “debates”, you never make me mad. ;) I’m glad we have our disagreements, like you said “iron sharpens iron.” And if I did get ticked off with you I’d be a bit hypocritical after my last post, huh? :P

    Anyway, I spent about 3 hours tonight working on my Vex robotics system that I got for Christmas last year. I built the basic bot and got it up and running. I also managed some improvements to the design which was quite flawed. I’m quite proud of that, actually. :D

    Well, see ya ’round. :)

  13. SuperAngel Says:

    YOU HAVE AN AWARD!! Please come by and see.
    So glad to hear about Auntie and Sus!!
    RYC:
    LOL!! That is funny about your aunt…
    Yeah, my jaw dropped!! haha
    That is so sweet about Sus. I keep trying to talk Mom into coming down to see her…
    I am so happy you like her so much!! I bet she is the sweetest thing… besides Lucy of course. ; )
    You are welcome for the comments… I figure you will get back to them sometime…
    Thanks for the comment on SuperAngel’sblog… I will get back to you on that..
    I was going to call you and talk to you about setting up our wireless.
    I picked up some pc magazines from the library today… can’t wait to read them…
    Well I have some thigns I want to talk to you about.. so will try to buzz you later..
    Have a great time holding and enjoying that little sweety!!

  14. Eric Novak Says:

    So when are you going to post a new entry? I’ve been waiting and waiting! ;)

    Wow, you have done an awesome witness! Just reading that mammoth Y! conversation shows that you were getting through on some level.

    Wow, quite an in-depth conversation! I love to talk to people who actually seem interested. It’s so discouraging when people just ignore you. I’d rather they talk, whether they’re arguing or agreeing!
