no other comment necessary from me!
Aludra:
Hehe. Thanks for sharing!
I love the last line. "It's like dating anyone who likes to do a particular thing, you know?"
Kali:
I kept laughing at these. I'm sure the exxy could tell you how much they apply to me. But this one, #16:
Writers communicate in a bunch of different ways. But mostly writing. Hope you don’t like talking on the phone — that shit is rough.
That one's too, too true. I despise talking on the phone. It's possible to get me to chat on the phone... if you don't call more often than once a week. Most of your calls will go to voicemail, and if the message doesn't start with "I think I'm bleeding to death", I will probably not return it. I do not chat on the phone. I don't like chit-chat. If we do chit-chat, count on me spending at least half the conversation relating everything back to the stuff I write.

snorting my soft drink out the nose. Now you know why I avoid live voice online writer's groups.... *sigh* Also, the voice rarely matches what I decided how it should sound...the two rarely, never line up...
Starbeam:
Hehe...I'm definitely gonna show this to my b/f.

I don't mind talking on the phone, if it's friends or family, and they've called me. But if I have to do the calling? Forget it. Unless it's an automated thing, like calling Walgreens to refill my prescription.
