Are you restless like me?

As most of you know, I don't have a cell phone, but everyone else in my house does. I don't want one. I'm not really a phone person. Mainly because I never talked on the phone much before. The only person I'd actually have conversations on the phone with was Susan, once in awhile Christina. But now they have other people to call when they're bored.

Anyway, getting back to the point, my house phone doesn't get used much. The only people who call it are relatives or someone asking if my mom can drive the rest of the girls to school.
The last time someone called for me was almost two weeks ago, Carolyn, asking if I could go somewhere, the conversation lasted about 5 minutes. I'm not complaining, really, I find it hard to carry on a conversation on the phone. I get distracted from it and start giving a running commentary on what I'm doing.

But today I got a phone call. Just for me, no one asking a question or favor.
You'd think it would be from a close friend, calling to see if I was okay because I wasn't at school.
Or possibly even my boyfriend, who I haven't spoken to in three days.
But, no.
It was from a person I don't really consider anything near a close friend, a good person and friendly classmate yes, but not someone I'd call up to make plans with or anything like that.

Justin Epling called me to make sure I got the pre-cal homework assignment.
And it made my day.
Someone noticed I was gone and cared enough to pass along the homework so I wouldn't get too far behind.

The occasional quick and considerate phone call is nice.

But please don't take this the wrong way. I know you guys care even if you don't call. It's just nice sometimes, a surprise like that. No hard feelings. And please don't think I'm asking you to call me for no reason, that's just kind of boring. "Hi, I'm bored. What are you doing? Oh, cool."
Yeah, not so great.
