I hate phone calls. OK, maybe I don’t really “hate” them but they make me uneasy. Most of the time I try to get out of a conversation on the phone as soon as possible. Most of the time. However, there is a type of phone call that I do enjoy indulging in. It’s the long talk over the line with a person I really miss and I haven’t seen in a long while. For example, my Mom is thousands of miles away from me. And it’s been like that for quite some time now. Video calls via Skype used to be an option but not anymore, now we’re stuck with phone calls. I grew to love picking up the phone and calling her at least once a week. We talk about silly stuff, about her problems and mine, about… well, pretty much about everything I guess. I love listening to her tales about the places she’s been and the thing’s she seen on her trips. So it is hardly any surprise that I enjoy those calls and I indulge in them. Mind it though, a long call for me equals about 20-30 minutes. And a normal call for me hardly lasts longer than a minute or two. *wink*
