i still don't see how texting is easier. i can talk on a phone while i ride my bike or drive a car or walk. i can put the phone on speaker and talk while i cook or shave or whatever. when i text i have to stop what i'm doing and look at the buttons and keep clicking until i get the right letter and spell out every fucking word. i can call and we can each say three sentences and hang up in the time it takes one of us to type a sentence.

and sometimes it just seems so impersonal. just like on this forum, you can't hear the tone or inflection of the voice, it's flat. yeah it's great under certain circumstances, just not for every little communication. i'm actually thinking of not bothering with this chick, cause she won't talk, only text.
