Same here! I actually feel their pressure. One of my best friends lives in Minneapolis and I love her so much, but she likes to have phone convos for like 2 hours at a time, and I don't want to do that...so then I just procrastinate ever calling. Ugh.

Love that your phone almost never rings. A silent phone is a beautiful thing!
I also love what you say about etiquette, bc etiquette can drive me nuts too...I don't like things that are dogmatic in nature, ie I don't like doing things simply bc it's 'traditional' or bc 'that's the way it's done'. When I hear words like that, you may as well shoot me out of a Rebel Canon. Bc I'll then do the opposite or as close to it as possible.
