Phoneline

For some reason I'm deathly afraid of talking to someone, ANYONE, through the telephone or some other sort of telephone-like tool, like SKYPE. that's one of the main reasons I'm not GETTING a Skype. I've spent years of my childhood only answering the phone to get someone asking for my mom and/or telemarketers, so for the longest time I would just not answer the phone at all.

But then when it came around to people actually wanting to talk to ME on the phone, I panicked. I always keep phone conversations short as I can, and when telemarketers come around I just tell them my dad's dead and they shut up and I hang up. Just now I was supposed to be talking to ATT about my internet connection, because it constantly dies on me late in the day, and only 3 minutes in I was panicking and asking to start over because I had no idea what was happening and I was practically tossed into the Hollywood Tower of Terror I was so nervous. My mom had to take over for me and talk to an agent because of her accent.
