Writer's Block: Call Me

[wytchcroft]

[Error: unknown template qotd]
Both.

Yes, generally it's both and as loudly as possible -

out in the wilds of Withershinshire (where i live) that's common practice,
it makes you feel less lonely, true -
but it's also a sort of proto internet that's been around for generations.

"Where are my cigarettes goddamn it!" yells into the phone.

wait - wait -

oh a sigh comes riding on that lonseome wind

a whisper from some far off travelling man -

"I - dooooon't..."

what?

"... fucking know!"

oh - right, thank you.

Hold on my mobile's ringing. 

"You left them on the book case!"

"Right you are, thanks for that - uh..."

"Oh I live down the valley - I just heard you earlier..."

"Oh sure - right, I know, yeah, I recognise your voice too -
and I think your cat's  actually on the roof of the vicarage."

"Oh thank GOD - I've been..."

"looking, I know. Well, all's well that ends well eh? Sorry my land-line's going -"

click!

"What?"

"It's me! - you! - us! - chores, man!, washing up!"

You see if you yell, long enough, loud enough and often enough
you can actually be in two places at once.

Although it helps to be living in Withershinshire.

my god - welcome to the whacky world of machine translators!:)))

moving swifty on - a quick look at my view screen shows my current location as Gosford Park (about half way in) such a great movie my poor dvd is getting mighty worn. Have you seen the movie???

[moraiwe.livejournal.com]

I have not seen it. :(

[betsycontent.livejournal.com]

Is - I smiles!" where's yours from, singapore? :)))

I also keep the landline - it seems to be more silent than yours ;)
sometimes it speaks to me with the voice of my old friend - he always calls when I am bloody busy and tends to just communicate, no matter what the reason is - just to simulate communication :) It drives me crazy.
sometimes people call me considering I am a local hospital manager ;)
I have also a phone maniac child - very strange child, it calls us once every few month for several years already, laughs and never says a word. Very strange and seem like not growing.
And there are old ladies calling and asking whether they can talk to Anna (my granny). Nope, I am saying, she's too sick. but she alive, fine then.

And sometimes it's a voice of my Mom. or Dad. But they rather use cell ones. ^)

wow - what a busy phone!
and what a great snap-shot of life, thank you!!:)))

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

ps - also, LOL!!:)))

He he he, I know a thing or two about that living in the boonies once myself. Or as we liked to call it in the middle of America, BFE, (bum-fucking Egypt). I don't know why that phrase exists. I don't know many homosexual Egyptians.

Ahh the racism of the average, American, Midwestern Redneck!

[beshter.livejournal.com]

I love Asterix.

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

me too:))

[shoelace009.livejournal.com]

Ha I love it.

I only use my cell which is nice because it's easier to turn off.

But I do agree about the less lonely thing. Except when somebody calls and it's a wrong number or a bill collector it makes me feel more lonely lol.

Fortunately I live in the city.

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

but that's the funny thing about living here - everyone shouts so much that really you don't need a phone at all!:))

[shoelace009.livejournal.com]

Lol that sounds like it has a potential for a lot of character. =]

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

you should come by more often:)))

[shoelace009.livejournal.com]

Ha I agree! I try to pop in from time to time when I'm thinking about it =].

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

well, i'm sure you're in demand enough as it is!
and i do appreciate you dropping in:)))

[shoelace009.livejournal.com]

Ha no I just have tunnel vision.
and no prob =].
