to have an arch nemesis
its time for another post...well, lets be honest, its been time for another post for like three weeks. not just any post, however. this entry is the product of an issue that has been worsening and growing for years now, especially since the birth of my wonderful, yet evil friend-the text. i will be bemoaning the negative effect that technology has had on my life. before cell phones, and facebook, and every channel available to me within the confines of my own home...i already struggled with keeping in touch with the people in my life. by keeping in touch with people, i'm not just talking about those that you met in college and try to send a birthday card to once a year. i'm talking about everyone, including a certain someone that happens to live like two apartments away from me. yes, its true...i haven't seen my friend mary yet and we've lived here for two months. ridiculous.i've always struggled with telephones. ever since my brother always made me call and order the pizza when we were kids...its been a love/hate relationship ever since...more hate than love. yes, i do love being able to talk people that are far away and it is nice to be able to get a hold of someone close by without having to send a horse and buggy messenger over, but if there is any opportunity to not use the incredible invention that is the telephone, i will use it. enter the text. before this ingenious little piece of technology, i have to admit that i relied heavily on email. i know, i'm sorry, but i am one of those. if there was a way to send an email instead of call (or if there was a time to call that i knew i would be leaving a voicemail...) i would do it. i can say honestly that i never broke up with anyone with the helping hand of cyberspace. that might be because i've only had 3 boyfriends in my life, one of whom i'm married to and one i was dating when email was still only acquired via phone line. anyway, i digress--i am a text fan and the point of this needlessly wordy blog is to apologize to all of you that have been neglected by my lack of phone skills. to you, i am sorry, but i will continue to text you if you will have me...or let me as the case may be :)

Not a fan of the "vocal text" eh?
Well, I'm not really either, unless I'm on a long drive and need to stay awake!
That is also why I love the iPhone. So many ways to communicate with others without ever having to call! Funny it's called a phone.
I hate talking on the phone. Maybe because I hate the awkward silence...i dunno. But I'll text or email way before talking on the phone.
haha this is funny but so true! I will usually call people if I'm driving, but even then is rare. What is really funny is I used to be a phone junkie back in the day. You couldn't get me off the phone in junior high and high school. My mom would punish me by grounding me from the phone! Now look at me. Oh well. I'm glad it's not just me.
Hey, as long as you answer the phone when I call that works for me. I don't need a phone call to know you love me:)
AMEN TARA! NOT a phone fan...although I do recall sending an email to a certain someone and not getting a response... ;) maybe I'll try texting next. :)
I also enjoy getting 'stop-by points' when I can leave a message instead of having to talk on the phone. Also, Love that video of your little girl!
now that I have a phone that I can text on easily, that's all I do! Send me a text anytime. 521-2838.
