It's like you are reading my mind, I find myself avoinding the phone and only sending texts. Even when planning a friday dinner with girlfriends we all communicate via facebook or email, its ridiculous. We hardly communicate organically anymore.

Mia,
This is genius. I've been wondering for YEARS why I can't always answer the phone when my best girlfriend calls, why I have to wait and basically schedule out a time to call her back. I don't always have the time (or, let's face it, the energy) to have that conversation. I was feeling a little guilty about this, in part because I thought I was just a bad friend. But your explanation about the time it takes just to have a run-of-the-mill conversation with girlfriends totally hit the nail on the head. I'm relieved to find out that I'm not the only one to feel this way. In those cases, texting definitely becomes easier for me, too.
