So I just lost my cell phone. I don't know where I lost it, but the point is, I don't have it. I have no idea how many hundreds of texts I'm missing. I've never lost a cell phone before. I've broken like ten, but never lost one. I think someone must have taken it. I'm so mad. I'm pretty depressed about it. Every 20 seconds I have an urge to text someone and I can't. I think I might die.
There have been a few times that I didn't have a cell phone in my life. The first obvious stretch of time was from 0-15. I got my first cell phone at 15. And then I stopped paying for it and didn't have a phone for almost a year. Which was very traumatic for the first few months. Then I got a new phone and I had that one for a long time, and then I sort of chose to give it up. That wasn't as bad, at least I knew it was coming. I kind of disconnected my phone out of spite because I was angry at the general population. I think that was 11th grade. Then I got another new phone, a crappy prepaid one, that is currently in my sister's possesion. I like the service on it. I eventually bought a new phone off my friend, which was easily the best phone I've ever had. It's small, but big enough, and very thin. And, it has all my contacts. AND now it's gone forever. Grr. I looked around on the internet and the best price I could find for one was 150. And I sure as heck ain't paying that much for a new one. So I guess I'll be stuck with a crappy phone until I leave on my mission. I just want one soon. :(

You just reminded me of this personal essay I read one time. You should read it.

Ha! I like it. It does remind me a little bit of myself. Except for that I didn't drop it in the tub, I just dropped it into oblivion. I thought to myself about how maybe I should just ditch the phone altogether, but like her, I've started looking for another one. But it has made me more appreciative of social contact. Maybe I'll write the blog over again with a little more insight to the world. Not for any specific reason, just because that last post was frantic and unintelligent.
It's so sad you placed so much social connection on a little dinky piece of electronic plastic...Haha, just kidding. I really do feel for ya. Personally, if I lost my phone, I'd be a little sad, but it wouldn't be a big deal to me.
However...If my U2 iPod ever went missing, broke or was stolen, then we're talking about a serious crack in my universe. So I guess I'm not so different, placing emotional value and attachment on a little hunk of metal.
....aah, materialism! :)
Yeah... I'd be a little miffed if someone skifed my ipod too. I thought my laptop broke earlier this evening, and my world almost just fell apart completely. I was actually on the phone, though not my cell phone, and my screen on my computer just turned off. After buying that laptop I learned that that is a common problem with that specific model of computer that the screen would go blank and stay blank forever more. And I was like ok, so my phone is lost, my computer is broken, and I'm out of cereal. Life has definitely gone completely down the drain. BUUt then i just restarted my computer and it turned out to be ok. And i'm getting a new cell phone in the mail tomorrow. And my ipod is safely sitting in my car. Unless someone stoled it in the past few hours. Hmm, lame. So for now, the universe is uncracked for me.
