a phone-y Friday Five
1. Could you live without your phone for 1 week for $500?
2. Whom do you talk to on the phone the most?
3. Whom do you no longer talk to on the phone but wish you still did?
4. If you could get ahold of one celebrity phone number, whose digits would you want?
5. Do you talk on the phone more or less than you used to?
1. If you'd asked me a week ago, I'd have paid $500 to have the phone disconnected. All those recorded political "I'm Big-Shot Such-and-Such, and you should vote for what I tell you because I say so." (CENSORED) that.
Now? Yeah, but I'd need paying for the inconvenience. I hate talking on the phone.
2. Dad. He's very loquacious, so I spend more time listening to him, ergo, he gets more overall air time. But I call Mom more than I call him. (He usually calls me.)
3. No one, really. I e-mail people I want to communicate with, and it's much better, because I can edit what I say and how I say it before it reaches the other person. Or just delete it altogether, which is not unprecedented; I'll spend half an hour composing and polishing a message only to bin the whole thing, because the recipient will probably be more annoyed than pleased that I'm bothering him.
4. Can't I have Stephen Fry's e-mail address instead? The private one that only his family and close friends know? At least that way, he'll actually read it, and he won't hear me stutter and hyperventilate while I'm trying to convince him that he needs a High Priestess.
5. Much less, now that there are alternatives.
