eh, texting is definitely the passive-aggressive "it's your turn to buy toilet paper, until then i'll wipe my ass with your old issues of MRR" version of communication. No one I know would be stupid enough to send me a message like that anyways... So I could be wrong about text. Or you could be hanging out with too many passive aggresive douchebags. I see it more as we're all so busy with other shit, that 'most' ppl are willing to pay pretty reasonable amt of $$ to be able to chatter with their friends, etc... And for some weird reason you can put off answering an e-mail or phone call, but gawd forbid you ignore a text for five minutes. Fuck that. I don't carry the cell phone with me 50%+ of the time anyways. I sure the hell don't need messages I can't translate from cellularubbish. I'm thinking about getting one of those Magic Jack phones cuz the phone will be off when it's unplugged from the USB or comp shut down! I see that as a feature, not drawback...

haha, I'm the complete opposite. I rarely answer or make calls unless there is time-sensitive information that needs to be transmitted ASAP. Again, texts I treat as something to be responded to at leisure unless they are dependent on quickness, and that's if I'm even awake to handle it. fuck, voicemails go unnoticed more often than not. i go days without checking my email, unless I'm expecting confirmation numbers or an email from a horny housewife in Europe or something.

I NEVER check my voice mail, I actually considered changing my greeting to something like "Leave me a message so I can never call you back." but I get work related calls on my cell so it would probably be a bad idea.
I pick up the phone when someone calls if i can but it seems like anytime anyone calls it's when i'm in the middle of other shit. I am pretty good about calling people back if it's someone i actually want to talk to though.
i honestly prefer texts in most cases. It cuts out all the stupid bullshit if i just need to ask someone a quick question. I do love a good phone conversation though.
One of the things i enjoy most about texts is if i'm having to sit through a shitty band's set i can send my guitar player a text, watch him pull his phone out to check it from across the room, and then watch his reaction when he realizes it's a text from me saying "This is your favorite band and you want to suck ALL of their dicks SO MUCH"

The only reason I carry my phone around with me when I go places is because I know the one day I don't will be the day I get into a car accident or run into some emergency where I actually need a cellphone. As far as people leaving me voice mail on it, I always tell them not to because if I miss a call, my phone tells me the number of who I need to call back. Leaving a voice mail just means I have to take the time to erase it.

i hate talking on the phone. i am pretty talkative in person but i hate talking on the phone unless i am super pissed off about something or have an awesome story. also, i am really bad at having conversations. texts force you to make choices about what you say and cut out a lot of asinine stand bys.

lmao internet dating sites haha, I signed up for Juggalove.com as a social experiment of sorts...yeah, it's a Juggalo dating website. Yes, I get bored. I signed up for a site for similar reasons a few years back. It was a short lived (for obvious reasons) white supremacist version of myspace. This place was seriously the gathering place for the scummiest people in America. I took a photo of myself and photoshopped on a neckbeard and a rebel flag onto my shirt and in no time was getting flirtatious messages from heavily overweight 40 year old women that predominately presided in the bayou's of Florida.

it's more likely that I'm working, which I do a lot of. If you or Scott called, I'd try to pick up if possible.

I remember a time when I had such intense focus I could set a TV show and music at equal volume and absorb both of them with no effort. Don't know if I could pull that off now.
