“In elementary school people saw each other at school. You went to each other’s houses after school. That was it, no one ever talked on the phone until like the later grades. And I was horrible on the phone, I was so nervous. And then I remember I once called my friend, worked up the courage to call my friend. A really good guy friend [not a girl]. And I said ‘hello’ and he said, ‘Hey’….I was like, ‘Wow. He is SO COOL on the phone’. It never occurred to me to be casual on the phone.”
