I see the phone as an enemy to be avoided at all costs. Even if it is the shortest distance between two points. I'd rather take the long way round than have to hear some unknown person say "hello?" and then have to say something back to them. I've gotten better than I used to be, but am never comfortable with it. It seems I'm always waiting for my words to get tangled and leave me in an embaressed heap as they flee into the distance. I love words very much. I think I write much better than I can speak. Hence, my dismay when I battle my way through a conversation with a stranger.
