Giving Out Your Phone Number Online...now that's just desperate

I realize that many of you tried desperately to call me last year while I was in China, but your best attempts were thwarted and confused by the british chick on my answering machine, and the forwarded international number. (I choose to blame the difficulties of communication, and not the ambivelance of my loved ones) I have faced the difficulties of long distance communicae myself (ask the Heather to tell you a Spain story!), so I am attempting to do my part...and begging for your phone calls...hopefully a culture-shocked American will be thanking her clever self in the future.

SKYPE is an amazing invention.
If you have SKYPE, this means:
*We can talk for free...anytime...anyway.
*We can chat for free...when I am around my computer.

If you do NOT have SKYPE:
*Its free, you should download it
*Check out www.skype.com for more information on what it means.

Otherwise:
I have just shelled out a hefty sum of my summer fund to pay for another 12 months of an international phone number. My phone number is 1-360-566-2881.
If you call this number, you will either hear my sweet, childlike voice on the other end, or a snobby British girl forwarding you on to my cell phone in China. Either way, I will get your phone call! And if I miss you, I have voicemail!
1-360-566-2881, this is a Washington State phone numer, please, feel free to put it in your phone. For my fellow technologically challenged friends, having this is what this means:
*For others with 360 numbers, this is A LOCAL CALL and charged as such.
*For those with other stateside area codes, its your NORMAL LONG DISTANCE. After 7 on nights and weekends...FREE with most cell phone plans!

Please, if you have any questions...well...I'm not sure I could explain it any more clearly. Put check out SKYPE's website, or send me an email. I want to hear from all my loved ones while I am over there, and while I would love to contact you myself, it IS CHEAPER FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED FOR YOU TO CALL ME. So, you know, feel free. Now that's "putting yourself out there" ;o)
