I just hate phones. Like, really. I really, really hate phones. The only person I will voluntarily call is my g/f, other than that I'll only call when I have to, and I'll almost NEVER leave a message because I hate answering machines and voice mail more than phones

I'll try not to call ya anytime soon! I hate it when the same person calls me everyday to say the same shit she said the day before. I usually check my caller id and if its not important i say fuck it.

I always make exceptions, Mags.:D

I don't have a house phone in my apt, so I go by my cell. If I don't know the name, I don't pick up.

I share the hatred of phones. I really really hate it when I'm in the middle of something when someone calls. I tell them that I'm in the middle of something and they still try to launch into a conversation. Drives me nuts. For a little while, I can carry on an interesting conversation, but once I start rambling, I know I should hang up.

"Uh...I gotta go. I just set my hair on fire."

What kind of potato?........fried,mashed,boiled,scalloped,
baked,roasted.......was it white or red potato....did they have a topping such as chive,sour creme,bacon,cheese....the potato conversation can be very rewarding.

I like being alone. I hate it when people call me and just want to chat. I hate it when people just want to come over for a visit un-announced. I like hanging out with my movies, my video games & the occasional pet.

I DO like to go out & hang out with people, but I'm just as happy if not happier 75% of the time when I'm by myself. My current apartment is the first one I've had to myself since I moved out of my parents it's been 10 yrs). It's like paradise.

No problem with the oldies..I mean..Dad died years ago and mum is losing everything basically. So uh..She really doesn't bother about me much. Just as long as theres tea, bread, butter, pay tv and her cigarettes ( those these are not always around for her so she gets a bit grumpy ) available in the house , she is one happy chappy..


Now as for the phone thing. I dont usually answer my mobile when it rings. The home phone I never hear when it rings. I dont make calls. Im happy not talking to anyone hehe.

I agree completely, I like having a pet, some food, a coke, my tv, my computer, and my speaker phone cell phone with me, i just have 3 way calls with some frinds while we laze our lives away.

Lol, at this point I'm very lucky. My parents give me a lot of freedom,even when I past since I was twelve 'til I was 24 dressing in black, wearing long hair, listening to noisy music too loud, readding weird boocks and watching horror films (o whell at the day of today I'm still doing most of those things) so anyway they were very surprished when I told them that I want to be a lawyer.:D

She doesn't like the way I dress (says black is 'depressing', and my horror and ban T-shirts look evil:rolleyes: )...She HATES my music, says it's too loud, and just a lot of 'noise'...She says that "watching all those horror movies isn't healthy" and that I need new hobbies/different interests....Says my interest in death/macabre/occult is somehow 'just wrong'...She even tells me that I need to get out in the sun more (apparently unaware, or unconcerned that it makes me feel sick), open the curtains, turn on some lights, and this is MY house...She never cared for any of my friends, always criticized them, the only difference from when I was younger is that she used to ask me "Where do their parents work?", now she asks "Where do THEY work?"...She doesn't like the fact that Dustin is Pagan, which is none of her business...If I don't feel like doing something for my sister, she complains to my mother, who then gives me a guilt trip and rides my ass till I do it (this has been going on since my sister was 2, she's 27 now:rolleyes: )...I could write out a long list (and it would probably be the same as most of you 'kids')...But, I'll spare ya:)


Bottom line: For all of you youngens who say, "I can't wait till I'm an adult and can move out on my own and get away from THEM"...Your parents will always be your parents...Even when you're over 30...They don't change much....Get used to it...

um i think your mom and my mom would get along quite nicely.. you just descrbed my mom word for word lol

but i usually get along with my folks, mainly my dad.
