phone hell

phone hell PhOnE hElL

WHY is it that you never want to talk on the phone for a long time when the call is local and free, yet if the call is cross-country, or even worse, overseas, you want to talk to the person for hours. This is especially frustrating if you have just seen the person and this situation persists.

For example, when I am at home I talk to my friends for 10 or 15 minutes at most, we don't say much, but its nice to say you talked. Then there are people who live 3000+ miles away I can spend hours upon hours talking to (okay maybe it's only one particular person, but still...). I mean I saw my friend 3 1/2 DAYS ago and yeah, I hadn't emailed or chatted with her since we saw each other, so I guess I was having withdrawal or something, but I had to talk to her so I called. We ended up talking over 3 hours and talked about virtually nothing...yet I *had* to call her.

Okay so I don't feel so bad when I make a long phonecall like that. In fact I enjoy myself (usually) and go on and on talking, even about nothing. Then I am brought down to hell when I recieve my phone bill for 20 billion dollars. Welcome to HELL.
