here's an update for youse

OK, I feel like I should explain some things here, to all the people who have tried to call me. my voice is still really weak. it's hard enough to talk in regular conversation, but the phone is especially challenging. if I speak at a volume where I can be heard, it can actually make me gag. so this doesn't mean 'don't ever call me', besides it's only temporary (i'm hoping). my point is, if you call, I probably won't pick up. I'd still like to hear from you or talk to you via email or instant messenger but I just can't do the phone right now, I'm sorry. don't hate me. I know you do, but that's really selfish of you.
apology accepted.
