Phone calls

At this point in my life I don't get a lot of phone calls(and my phone cannot text). My main means of non face-to-face communication is Instant Messaging and email. This makes getting phone calls awkward. When my phone went off today, I was baffled, as I had no idea why anyone would be calling me. It turned out to be a friend who doesn't use AIM, and wanted to see if I was going to a concert. But my first thoughts were, this could be really important, like someone died, or I got a job interview, or my brother is getting married. I could not fathom any other reasons, so I jumped off the couch and read the caller Id only to be a bit disappointed.
