You mean the "juliana called" sound?
Hey! Texting is a valid form of communication for some of us.
(full disclaimer: the last person I texted was juliana about ten minutes ago.)
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I adore texting. It's succinct, fast, and quiet.
I dislike talking on phones immensely.

I believe that is also juliana's excuse.
I actually don't mind texting. I just didn't know how to do it at first and have to pay separately for it, so I tend to not bother. After all, I only just got a cell phone a year ago. Baby steps.

Hah! juliana is the only buffista I text! (to be fair, I only really "talk" to her and omnis offline)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Also yes!

Now that I have a phone with a better keyboard, I like the idea of texting.

Oh yes, Jilli. I forget the whole world doesn't have a phone with a keyboard. If I were still on an older model phone, I wouldn't text as much.
I think my company pays $5 a month for my unlimited texting. Or something like that.

But I text *everyone* who doesn't grumble about it. If I can communicate with you textually, I will choose that before a phone call any day.
It was just funny that the last person I'd texted at that moment in time was actually juliana.

My texts to juliana tend to consist of "Chartruse!" or "Fernet!" and then some nonsense follows. Would not be the same with a phone call.
