Am I the only person who absolutely DETESTS talking on a phone?

AM I?!?!? I hate it. HATE it. Yes, this rant stems from enduring yet another night of my roomie's utterly pointless "get to know you" sessions with some internet whore. Talking to someone you've never met ON THE PHONE...for like an hour. Yeah, THAT'S a good use of time. But let's not totally blame online, um, courtship. He talks CONSTANTLY on the phone...friends, co-workers, the SuperCuts lady. And WHY?! I REALLY wish he'd somehow be rendered mute. I am NEVER on the phone. EVER. Zero interest. And more to the point...and read this slowly and carefully...THERE. IS. NO. REASON. 90%. OF. THE. TIME. It is pointless, time-wasting bullshit. Things that can be emailed or IM'd or told in person. Or, gasp, not told at ALL. Things that I don't need to fucking listen to nonstop in my apt, in the supermarket, on the train, on the bus, in Starbucks, TRYING TO RELAX ON THE BEACH. Noise, noise, NOISE!! SHUT the FUCK up!! And like the dipshit "drinking's a drug, too, dude!" argument, do NOT try telling me that email or IMing or BLOGGING is the same thing. I don't have the patience to explain the difference right now. Anyone reading this either knows i'm right or is a stupid idiot. Golly, shucks, look at me alienating others so soon in '07.
