i thought about not answering the phone, but i did anyway. i shouldn't have. that kid called me up and kept me on the phone for almost an hour. when i tried to tell him i had to go, he tried to tell me shit that i don't want to hear. i know what it is. he didn't tell me because he "couldn't find the words." i hope he never does. i don't want to turn him down on the phone. but then again, e-mail is the worst way to turn someone down. so phone will have to do. ugh. that stroganoff makes me want to puke. so does he.
