anonymous He always checks -our- caller id, it's no bissness of his who calls -our- place! Of corce when I catch him in the act and ask him what he's doing he says "nuthin" w/ a shrug ohhhhhh he gets so under my skin! I've even developed the habit of writing whose called us on a piece of paper and taking it to Eve's room (He's not allowed in there and than erasing everything on Caller Id so he can't see who's called us! the point is though I shouldn’t -have- to do this! 020610

raze there's a feeling of guilt that sometimes grows out of the power it provides. i can see you, but you can't see me. you don't know i'm right here, contemplating whether or not i want to pick up. 130417

but then again
i'm not



the panic attacks i have
when i know it's you calling
even though i don't answer your calls anymore

raze he was so full of himself i replaced his name with "balloon head". i saw those two words come up on the screen every time he called. it made me laugh. of course, there was always the danger of his doppelganger calling him from his own house when he was over here. then he would see what i really thought of him. but there was a part of me that wanted that to happen, just to see if he would float away or if all the air would abandon him in one shot. 210825

unhinged i was 'the one that got away' in his phone. i called him when he was with his girlfriend at the time and somehow or another she saw it and has talked shit about me ever since. his need to date jealous women who like to fight exhausts me to the point that i can't answer his phone calls for months at a time. i don't want to have anything to do with him romantically ever again. jealousy is such a childish emotion. sometimes i just can't answer his phone calls cause i know all sorts of unnecessary drama will be heaped on my head. i moved across the country to get away from that.

i'm old enough to remember the times of absolutely no caller id. when every ring of the phone could result in a surprise party or a surprise slap in the face...oh the dark ages.

raze i remember that too. once being able to see who was calling became a thing, i felt kind of awkward trying to make my "hello" sound like a question when i knew who was on the other line. felt like i'd been robbed of something. a small thing, sure, but i missed it when it was gone. 210825

kerry i remember that too, and many of the phone numbers i used to dial all the time. and then eventually when we started saying so-and-so has to get off the phone so we can use the internet. or vice-versa.

also star-69. i suppose that was as close as it got to caller_id.
