Cell phones

Happy Martin Luther King Day! I'd like to thank him for his contributions to our society. 

I'd also like to thank all of my blog readers for the support during this tough time of breaking up with Tiger Woods. It has not been easy. I watched his speech just now. He only spoke for 2 minutes before he introduced a military glee club. What was the point? Tear. I'll miss him. Tear

Since we did not do much today but sleep and go to school I won't bore you with our lives. No, today I am going to rant. Leave now if you wish. ;)

What is up these days with people and their cellular telephones? I was in a restroom this weekend where a lady was blowing the place up- sick, I know, but relevant to my point- and she was on the phone. Who wants to hear your explosive diarrhea over the phone?! I know that they- unlike me- didn't have to smell it (lucky souls) but hearing it is gross, too. Could this grown woman not have hung up her phone and returned the call after she finished torturing me? I exited the restroom as soon as I could so I didn't have time to scold her. What a shame.

Also, why do people even bother answering their phones at bad times? What is a bad time? Well I have a lot of bad times. I just got off of work and all I want to do is scream along to the new Britney Spears cd; calling at that time would be bad for me. I am cooking or eating dinner. That is a bad time for me. I am resting comfortably on my couch watching Gossip Girl. That's a bad time for me. So what I have it on tivo and could pause it?! I have voicemail. Leave me one. Why are people afraid of voicemail? I welcome being sent to voicemail. I still get the props for calling and didn't have to chat! YES! I get to tell the person what I wanted and do not have to answer any questions at that time. AWESOME. Power to the voicemail people. POWER! If you are busy or do not feel like talking: VOICEMAIL! (I am going to get a bunch of hate comments for all of the people I have sent to my voicemail recently- I can feel it!)

Next, what is with people who do not respond to you in the same way you contacted them? If I text you please, DO NOT CALL ME. I clearly wanted to text. DO NOT CALL ME! I WANT TO TEXT! Perhaps I am in a meeting and cannot answer. Then you feel shunned because you know I have my phone and will not answer. Perhaps I am bored in class and want to check in on you. I cannot listen to your voicemail during class so TEXT back. UGH! (If you can't tell, this one gets me!) There are occasional scandalous stories that require a call during a text session and that is fine. Just send a text letting me know that you're now calling and I will confirm or deny. ;) 

Finally, if you are: typing an email, expecting a call, not feeling like talking, having a conversation with someone else that is with you in person, or on your way to do something just TELL ME! Do not ignore me. Do not make me feel like a second-class citizen. Offer me a call back. Do not make me angry I ever called you in the first place. Come on!!

I think that is all for now. I will not complain about cellphone drivers because I am one of them. I can drive and talk. If you cannot, you should not. I think that is up to each of us to decide. 

P.S. I say most of this in jest- I love hearing from you! :)
