I still cant get any of my friends to realize that talking on the phone is LITERAL FUCKING HELL.

I can't hear you cause I'm deaf, I can't understand you cause I can't see you, and I don't know how to respond socially cause your not right in front of me. Also, just because I have a phone absolutely does not mean you get to hijack my time whenever you want, only I get to do that.

If you want something, just text. I'll respond (maybe) when I can actually think of a response.
