...you know, even when I was young I think I only had one phone number memorised other than my home phone number & my parents' work, and that was the phone number of my then best friend... I never remembered anyone else's. Still, these days I don't even know your number or Syl's or... err, my dad's home phone number, actually. (But that's probably ok because his home phone is almost never fucking plugged in.) =_=""
7074855602 <- phone number of the house in redwood valley (lived there from age 3 to 10) 7075786960 <- phone number of the house in santa rosa when I lived there with dad (of and on between 10 and 14).
...I know my mom's landline number, but I have *no* idea what my own landline (the one I internet with) number is XD
I don't remember what Jenni's (sis in law) number is, but I do remember that it is a palindrome 8D;
Before cell phones, I used to remember everyone's numbers by heart. And then things changed.
I think cell phones make it less justifiable to not keep in touch. So easy to look someone up. If you write a number down and lose the paper or misplace it, then you can use that as an excuse. It's harder to misplace a phone (though I still manage to do that >_>). It makes me really sad when I think about someone I used to be close to and realize I've forgotten their numbers, when I used to know it by heart. It's funny how phone numbers sort of...represent things.
Now I think I'm gonna write myself a note to remind me to print out all my numbers from my palm once I get home. I only know Drae's landline, Ina's number if I try very hard, and a couple of very old numbers from pre-cell phone days. If we ever went apocalyptic disaster I wouldn't even know how to reach my mom. >_>

And yes, when I'm deleting contacts, it does feel that I'm deleting people from my life and it freaks the hell out of me too.
