I will. not. use the phone unless I have to. It's for making plans that can't be made in person or online for whatever reason. I hte not being able to read the other person's body language, especially considering how much a part of our language the physical has become - it's really easy to misinterpret someone's words, but much harder when you can see their eyes. Also, I have that whole social anxiety thing, and interacting with people I can't see and often don't know is very uncomfortable. AND, I used to lisp, and so I'm extremely conscious of my voice on the phone (I am, however, the best person to get if you have to collect information, because I enunciate every. bloody. syllable.)
Hate the phone. Hate cell phones even more. The intarweb, however... she is my friend.
