1. Do you like talking on the phone? Why or why not?

Not at all. I hate calling people especially. And if I don't have caller ID, I freak and don't want to answer. I know, I'm weird. LOL I like knowing what to expect, and it's hard to not see people's reactions. Which doesn't mean I *can't talk on the phone - Erin and I have talked for hours straight. I think Jennie and I have had some long calls, too. It's just not my favorite thing.

Oh, and when calling to order, like, dinner or something? I seriously have to write down everything they could possibly ask. Yes, that includes my name. I've blanked before. <.g> This goes for calling to ask questions, order things, talk to people at work, everything. If I can script out my part, I'm a happy camper.

2. Who is the last person you talked to on the phone?

Mom. LOL She called in the middle of my nap, and I don't think I was very coherant. She did most of the talking. My part was, "Hello? Hi. Yeah. Love ya." <.g>

3. About how many telephones do you have at home?

Two here in my apt - my cell phone and the land line. The land line doesn't always work, though, and I can only get one call out every few hours. I can usually receive calls fine, though. (When Kate lived here, there were 5 phones for the two of us. LOL Two cells, one each in our rooms, and one in the kitchen.)

At home, there's 4, I think. A cordless with a base in the living room, a cordless with a base in my parents room, ditto one in mine, and a 2 line regular phone in the kitchen. (So that's one per level, except two on the top floor.)

4. Have you encountered anyone who has really bad phone manners? What happened?

Nope, can't think of anyone.

5. Would you rather pick up the phone and call someone or write them an e-mail or a letter? Why or why not?

I guess it depends on who it is, and why I'm trying to get in contact with them. 9/10, I'd prefer to e-mail, but I know that's not always the best course of action. <.g> Sometimes I actively want to call people to chat - usually my mother, Jennie, or Erin, although I'd love to be able to chat with Krissy, Karey and a few others.

Meanwhile, canNOT believe it's 6 already. Guess that's what I get for taking an almost 4 hour nap. LOL
