Review#104: Talking on the Phone

I’m often asked by friends and relatives, “Why haven’t you called me in a while?” I’ve even had a good friend get extremley angry at me because I haven’t been returning messages of his (that I never got). Anyway, I know now why I don’t call these people. I absolutley hate talking on the phone. Anything longer than a few minutes, and I start getting anxious, banging on things, rolling my eyes, not paying attention to what they’re saying. It’s just…blech. My mom goes on about what’s happening with the family, a lot I’ve heard already. My best friend is a master at spewing out incoherent nonsense and yelling at me when I don’t respond, sometimes lasting for hours.
Maybe if I wrote them all more letters, I wouldn’t have to call them.

God I hate talking on the phone as well. Right now my landline (wow, no cellphone!) is included in my rent, when I move and have to pay for it again, I think I’m going to switch to a payphone on the corner–I can’t imagine paying for something I hate so much!
