Love & Hate: Cell Phone
Sometimes I get so tired of my cell phone. The reason is mainly that I hate the feeling of being tracked whereever I go. Whenever I forget my cell phone at home, I feel so free. Although, there's always that lingering feeling of "I wonder if someone called me" which then leads to "it could be important" as well as other "what if" circumstances.
The love of the cell phone comes with security knowing AAA is just a phone call away to jumpstart, tow, or fix my car. It also gives me something to do while waiting for my class to begin. I know most of us will flip/slide/touchscreen (for you I-Phone users
aka J$$$) during idle moments of our lives and text, call, browse, play, and do whatever we do to make the time pass.
So what do we do when the cell phone is not there during idle periods?
I found that when I don't have my phone on me, I will randomly start a conversation with a stranger at school which ironically enough starts off with, "Don't ya hate it when you forget your cell phone?"

These devices are a burden. I carry my personal cell, a government cell, a government blackberry (when someone breaks it) and have to continously check emails (cuz something else broke). I'm trapped! But all that will change in the next couple days.
i avoided getting a cell phone until 2001. when i went to LA and needed a way to contact friends and also a way for my mom to reach me since it would be the first trip i took that included renting a car.
since with my job, i'm constantly on the move, a cell phone has been indispensable.
my sister, who works a 9 to 5 at an office doesnt have a cell phone. no point paying for something if we know where she is most of the times. and when she's out, she's with someone with a cell phone. tho i am considering getting a family plan to add her in order to lock her down to a cheap plan with me now.
going with sprint because that's what i have. i hate their phones. so ugly.
my line for the moment is: "don't you hate it when you lose your cell phone?!" =( i'm bummmed!!! i lost it 2 days ago... sad but true, my cell phone is my life. LOL need your number again... can u email it to me plz? charlene.ann3@gmail.com Thanks Jess! Hope you're doin well! =)
