I was trying to call my mom using my cellphone's redial feature. I heard the phone ring. Yay! But a male voice answered; definitely not my mom. Oh no! I must've hit another key somewhere... I couldn't figure out who it was by voice alone, and my phone wouldn't show me the number. Panicking, I stuttered my name and something about just calling to say hi. Unfortunately, I had to go and admit that I didn't know who was on the line, and he didn't want to tell me, so he just hung up. After the call, I checked the phone. Uh oh... I'd just called Eric. I called him right after that to, err, congratulate him on the ICPC and, ah, show that I did actually remember who he was. Still, it was very embarrassing.

Then I went back to the redial feature to try to figure out once again how to call my mom. I hit the green button again...

... and got another male voice. WAAAAH! I got really flustered. I blurted out the story about the previous call and asked who was on the line. He laughed, amused, and identified himself. How embarrassing. I really should talk to him more. I should have many opportunities to do that someday...

I deserve at least one unflustered conversation today, but my mom's probably still in Banaue... <sniffle>

A TLUGger mentioned this as a barrier to use recently, so may be interested in this plugin.

Not sure how Emacsy things become, though.
