blueskygirl, i can join you on the paranoia tip. i don't like to talk about certain topics on the phone for fear that "the man" (i.e. the po-po, the gov't, etc.) could be listening. i know that that's ridiculous, but if he were, they'd hear some incriminating (and sometimes not, but hilarious and freaky!) shit. *don't worry, i'm not killing people or anything like that. anybody know what would give the powers that be the clearance to tap lil' ol' my phone? is that even possible? welcome to my paranoid world of toys...
