If you give me a choice I will always IM or e-mail. It's unfortunate that my friends seem to prefer phones. I don't mind talking nearly as much as I mind initiating a conversation.
And for the record, I was socially inept long before I got on the Internet. I'm well-spoken, but my voice gets drowned out easily and, frankly, I hate the sound of it. I take my time to think through what I'm saying instead of filling pauses with "like, um, uhh", and it seems to bother people, because they immediately try to fill the pauses themselves. Also, I like to speak correctly but this has become completely unacceptable in casual speech. People look at me like I'm speaking Chinese when I use an adverb or a past participle.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
