soooo. i dropped my cellphone in the lake.
more like it bounced in of it's own accord really...
there i am, out on a dock in lake harriet, minding my own business, attempting to find some fishing wire and old hooks to make a make-shift fishing line and catch a fish (or so i thought) and my cellphone slips out of my hand. im a good 3 or 4 feet from the edge. the cellphone bounces, gains at least a foot of air and plops itslef into the lake. i cant believe what just happened. my sister is on th ephone and looks at me, the lake and starts to laugh a little. my jaw is dropped, staring dumbfound into the lake...the weeds have swallowed up my shiny grey little pal. my sister insists i jump into the lake and retireve it. i then comprehend my cellphone has gone INTO THE LAKE. i start swearing and yelling profanities and stripping down to my swimsuit. im practically hysterical (fuck! fuck oh shit i can believe, fuck, fuck<< fucks said in rapid wuick succesion). i proceed to jump into the lake and swim among the weeds. i find, with my toes, a stick. another stick. a rock. at last my cellphone. retrieved from the blue abis i somberly place it on the dock and wade back to the shore, knowing all has been lost. i return to the dock and sit there looking at my depleted little amigo. gone is the life from her vibrant buttons and screen. will she ever call again? the answer is no. she is gone.
RIP cellphone, you will be missed.
(oh and then today i am supposed to fly back to seattle, but our plane got cancelled and we were booked to fly again tomorrow. i almost lost my friggin mind when i heard that. but some handy phone work and stuff we have wrangled it so we are coming home. will be about two hours later but its home, thank god!! its been far too long. on the plus side i just sneezed directly down my shirt...)
EDIT: and now there is a friggin storm in minneapolis. rain, lightning, a little of this, a little of that..my god i hope our plane will still be able to make it out of here...
EDIT2: sidenote, havent talked to kalei since tuesday due to conflicting schedules... :(
