The past three or four weekends I’ve been spending a good portion of my Sunday afternoon on the phone. Hours and hours on the phone. This is pretty unusual for me in two ways. First, I don’t do a lot of phone talking, this probably is a result of my father having a strong aversion to phone conversations and the fact that I’ve never dated and thus never gone through that ‘It’s been five minutes since we talked, I’ve missed you so much’ thing.
However, these conversations have been extremely stimulating. I love talking, and I especially love talking to smart people. Especially smart people I don’t know very well. And now it’s the end of the week, mere days from Sunday, and I realized that I don’t have anyone I’m planning to call.
Not that I’ve been actively planning phone calls. Rather I’ve simply been engaged in discussions online that became the sort of thing that is better explored in a richer medium. But now that I think about it, maybe I should be planning phone calls. There are people I want to talk to, people I’ve only known online, who I’d love to get to know better.
Of course there are also a bunch of old friends I’d love to talk to too… So, if you’re reading this, and you’ve got some time free on Sunday… Want me to give you a call?

Okay, so I’ve just been ranting on irc about you not dating. What is this?! I know, you have reasons. I will not understand them.
Let your burning passion spill out upon the flesh!
Um, yeah, that is all.
We should chat some time. I’ll figure out when I have time and arrange something with you on Foundry and we can go from there. I have free LD so I’ll call you.
