Yes if I was dead...

For an hour or so at most. Well if theres no one around me who an I going to talk to. I'm not completely mad yet, or am I?

No way! I am a chatterbox! I even talk to my fish and to my plant!

I was actually thinking about that yesterday. I think I could, I'm kind of a quiet person anyway.

If I was offered a large sum of money :). Or if I was involved in the mob for some reason lol haha

Silence Speaks Louder Than Words: With power comes silence, at least according to a French scientist who has analysed politicians' speech patterns. The more powerful the politician, the more slowly they speak and the more pauses they make. http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg14219210.600-when-silence-speaks-louder-than-words-.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2002/06/21/bftr21.xml Tension can be portrayed through a variety of dramatic conventions such as pace, silences and delivery. Pace can refer to the rhythm / relationship between the action of two characters; silences enhance the pace of a play – as the saying goes – silence speaks louder than words. Tension between two people is often created through the silences between them. Delivery refers to how a line in a play is spoken. It is useful to explore different ways of delivering a line in order to understand the actions of a character. http://www.kentaylor.co.uk/die/materials/docs/lessons/tie/halfmoon/fairytaleheart.html It does require skill to use silence appropriately: Silence can be a bluescreen for the imagination. It does however require skill to use silence appropriately, for silence can speak louder than words. There are many kinds of silences, awkward silence, passionate silence, angry silence, mournful silence, fearful silence, nervous silence, reverie, silence of anticipation, etc. Only peaceful silence is neutral, and that really serves as a bluescreen for innermost thoughts/feelings to arise. If you want to show your emotional strength through silence, you really have to feel comfortable in that silence or it can just be an awkward silence which is not going to be helpful in getting the One You Want. Silence is after all felt in what it conveys. So unless you can truly feel what you are trying to convey to the One You Want, it is not going to work. You have to be in touch with your feelings to be able to develop a skillful use of silence. You know that a true intimacy has developed in a relationship when you and your beloved can hold each other in a loving silence, without any expectation, just the quiet joy of being together. http://relationships.blog-city.com/it_does_require_skill_to_use_silence_appropriately.htm 1-2-3 Magic: Training Your Children to Do What You Want! Readers will learn when and how their silence can speak louder than words. http://www.alibris.co.uk/search/books/author/Phelan,%20Thomas%20W,%20PH.D. "Even if someone decides to say nothing they are still communicating" - Studies show that during interpersonal communication only 7% of the message is verbally communicated by the words used. Of the 93% non-verbal communication: 38% is through vocal tones and 55% is through facial expressions or other body language signals. This means that 55% of what a customer is trying to communicate is expressed through non verbal or body language. http://www.rsc-ne-scotland.ac.uk/ie/Relationships_with_Customers/Establishing%20and%20maintaining%20relationships%20with%20customers%20version%202-130.htm The Sound Of Silence: There is scant space for silence today. We saturate ourselves in sound. We have largely grown uneasy with the domain of the imagination and the inner life, the silence of our own minds--a place that the poet e.e. cummings described as "the turning edge of life." Yet Vijay Eswaran, chief executive of the Qi Group, a Hong Kong conglomerate, believes that time spent there makes him a better businessman. He has written a management book, In the Sphere of Silence, in praise of the power of an hour of quiet introspection every day to sharpen the mind. He learned "mouna vratham", a ritual of silence, at his grandfather's knee. http://www.forbes.com/2007/03/22/meditation-management-eswaran-lead-ceo-cx_pm_0322bookreview.html Hinduism has the concept Mouna Vratham (ritual or vow of silece). It is supposed to awaken some unique spiritual powers. Mahatma Gandhi wrote that silence was his weapon. The world knows what he has achieved with it.
