I don't text. I'm often calling people with landlines that can't receive texts, and if I have to send them something in writing rather than spoken, I just use E-mail or IM, etc.

	Originally posted by Anya Funny how I don't use my phone for talking anymore. Then again, I don't like talking on the phone anyway. If it takes more than 2 sentences to finish the conversation, I'd rather call. 2 or 3 texts back and forth is OK but any more than that and it gets tedious. Might as well just call them to finish it. ____________________

I'm actually the opposite. If I'm going to use a phone, it'll be for at least some sort of an attempt for a conversation. If it's with my mother, I can expect to be on the phone at least an hour if not two (mostly her talking but hey...it's my mother).

I'll not use a phone for texting or whatever else. I figure if I want that, there's a desktop in front of me that I'm typing on for such a purpose right now.

I have a crappy old LG phone from... 2007? Before that, it was a Kyocera from 2003... are they even around anymore? I haven't heard anything about Kyocera in years...

I want either a Droid or a BlackBerry if I do get a smartphone eventually...

Same. I think I got sand in my speaker or something, because I used to hear just fine. Now I constantly need people to repeat what they just said. Texting is much clearer, and you can go back to it ("Where were we meeting again? Right, side entrance to Phys/Chem at 2:30")

I do not like talking on phones at all. I'm quiet, and I have a high voice. Phones strip out the high frequencies to save bandwidth, and that's where most of the emotion is carried, so I end up sounding like a depressed robot.

Now I know why it's harder than heck to get much of a conversation going in Skype with certain people.

Although the shyness bit is cute.

Last time I tried using Skype, it fucked up my Internet Explorer for whatever reason. I'm a little reluctant to try it again.

I've had Skype on for about a week now due to this site that I am writing for.

And you might want to get rid of IE, Rick.

Rick, might I suggest a WebKit browser? Some WebKit browsers are listed in my bio. =)

I would just get rid of IE, but there's still a couple of things (namely, stuff relating to college loans) that are too stupid to make the switch to Firefox and still use Internet Exploder.

Not much I can do about it really but keep it around for emergencies.

There's also Opera, Chrome, Safari and other stuff.

IE just has WAY too many problems.

It only works on IE, it won't let me use any other browser.

It's like trying to be secure in the bad parts of Detroit or something. e_e
