I have to make a phone call

To someone I have never met. I have no reason to believe the person in question will be anything other than pleased to hear from me, and glad to talk to me and arrange what needs to be arranged.

Although I have never met this person it is someone I admire and I am quite excited at the thought of talking to them and arranging what needs to be arranged.

This admiration and the possibility of this being the beginning of an on-going series of phone calls to make arrangements, culminating in meeting this person at the arranged occasion, means I am quite anxious not to come over as a total ninny and buffoon on the telephone.

I am, therefore, currently engaged in internet-related phone avoidance activity. Already this afternoon I have gone through an impressive list of things to do before making the phone call. I'm actually also feeling a bit shaky.

So now I'm going to change the bedsheets, check the post which has just come (at 2.30!!!!!) have a cup of tea and then... well, then Groover will probably have woken up and I wont be able to phone so I'll have to try another day.....

I am a wuss.

The fact that it's a mobile number makes it all worse for some reason.

(I am mainly posting this so that my fellow phone-wuss Jack can sympathise with me.)
