4. Actual email
5. My blog (both email and blog addresses are on my Facebook profile)
6. Text
7. Phone call
8. Online phone book (for street address in order to visit)
9. Actual phone book (how many people with my last name do you REALLY think live in your zip code, anyway?)
10. Mutual friend number one - to pass message, give address, etc...
11. Mutual friends 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7... up to 15 or so that actually have my phone number and would be happy to emulate #10

13. Random encounter
14. (Insert additonal methods here...)

Your response: "I couldn't get a hold of you" "I really tried" "You didn't respond on Facebook that one time when we were chatting, or something" "I'm sure I called and left messages"
"I missed you" "I really wanted to spend time with you, I did"
...
My response: "BITE ME."
P.S. If you say you're going to call, call. Don't be an ass. Also, listen to me - if I say I'm going to do something (like call you) and you agree, I'm going to do it. Don't jerk me around once I do. Of course, this is all rhetorical "save a little trouble for the next girl" (thank you, Carrie) advice... See above, RE: "My response".

I love you...this is the response to so many communication mishaps I have encountered. I think I will print the link to this post on a business card and pass it out when I see the need.
I am laughing so hard about this! I often think this when people say... "I was too busy to visit teach this month." Really... REALLY? Thank you for posting this!
