For those who answered "I don't have any contact information for you": email is the fastest and most reliable method for getting a hold of me. You can stick pretty much anything in front of @eristic.net and it will get to me (you can say eristic @ eristic.net if you are vanilla, or make up bizarre and random things like killerofsheep @ eristic.net* if you want). tass @ livejournal.com also forwards there if you remember my lj name but not my domain. I am online 12-14 hours a day on weekdays (at work as well as home, you see) and 6-8 hours on weekends, checking email every 15-20 minutes.
I don't generally give out phone information. To get a hold of me by phone is difficult, anyway (don't generally give out my work number unless it's really necessary; calling me at home after work = other people in house are sleeping; calling me at home in the morning before work = death), and I feel really, really weird on the phone with people I don't know, beyond 3-minute exchanges for things like ride arrangements.
As for IM, I feel similarly fidgety, since I feel immense pressure to be continually sparkling and interesting and therefore get really uncomfortable when I just don't have anything to talk about (which I generally don't with people whom I don't know well IRL), and feel like I'm being rude if I don't talk to someone if they're online, so I tend to restrict my IM to people with whom I can natter boringly and not worry that this is a problem (at the moment, only![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
enotsola), unless it's just really, really needed for a quick discussion, but I have to be told to log on as that other screen name, as I'm not on it by default; I'm afraid people will message me, expect me to be interesting, and find me disappointing if I am not or rude if I say "actually I don't feel like talking to you". (long, run-on-ish sentence much?)
So yeah. Email. Or of course livejournal comments, which act in much the same way, since I get the notification emails (although not always right on time).
