i'm guessing this blog will be my area for ranting about crappy stuff and raving about cool stuff in equal measure...but i'm going to start with a mini-rant.
I'm not fantastic at replying to emails, I'll hold my hands up to that one straight away. I'm also not the best at keeping in touch with people - Facebook (although it can be incredibly annoying at times with all its 'add 20 people' shenanigans) has been a bit of a life-saver for me cuz it makes me way better at keeping in touch with my friends.
After living away for years, the other half and I moved back to Wales several years ago and used to try and organise get togethers with our friends (with varying degrees of success). One guy in particular was like 'oh yeah i would but the wife wants me to do something', 'oh yeah I would, but i have to go do this thing' 'o yeah i would but i can't be bothered'..the guy didn;t even bother turning up for our wedding even when he'd accepted the invitation.
We do get contacted by him, but only once every 4 months or so - it's always the same thing: 'Hi guys, my band is doing this great thing / recording a video / up for an indie award / going to be on tv' all sent to about 150 of his closest friends. Which is fine. I don;t wish him bad luck with the band and i'm glad he's doing half-okay with it. But I used to send an email after each one from him 'hi good to hear from you, glad stuff is good, great news on the award / tv...i have voted for you...we should all meet up soon blah blah blah. Nothing.
can't be bothered. If you don't ever see me don't bother sending me updates about your ****ing band.
