My phone is dead again. I am sorry to all to whom I said I'd give a call this summer. I've made calls to, oh . . . 4 people? It's the being in NH thing (partly . . . I'm also a bit helpless in this area). The signal isn't really strong at home, so the phone spends all this energy looking for a stronger signal. I charge the battery overnight, then I go to work the next day with a full battery, and I expect to keep the power thing out of mind for a while since it's just been charged. Day goes on, I get home at night, I drop my bag in some corner of my room, and since I work pretty much every day I just leave my keys and wallet and such in my bag. So, cell phone stays in bag overnight. However, the cell phone gets no service in my bag, so I wake up the next morning and go to work and I go to put my phone on vibrate and oh ho! the battery is dead again because the phone exhausted its poor little self searching for a signal all night. And of course I'm too distracted to charge it so I go all day without the phone, then maybe I'm too tired to remember to plug it in before I go to sleep so I wake up and it's still dead. Bottom line is I basically never use the thing here. I still like it though. It makes pretty noises when people call me. OH that reminds me! I missed a call last night shortly after 8 pm (I forget what I was doing at that time, but I'm pretty sure I did not have the phone with me since I just leave it in my bag all the time). So, needless to say I missed the call, and it wouldn't be such a big deal 'cause I miss 'em all the time here, but it was an unknown number! And they didn't leave a message! Argh, that's so fustrating to me because I get all curious and want to know who 603-770-whatever is, but I found out this afternoon and they called semi-early the night before, so it'd be weird to call back and be like hello . . .? who is this? you called me last night, do you still need something? Maybe it was just a wrong number, and when they got to the voice mail (where I'm pretty sure I give my name) they realized their mistake and hung up.
Wow I should delete all of that because it's pretty much nothing. I think I'll just lj-cut it instead, so I can reference it one day when I've ran out of all other possible reading material.
So I went to Shaw*s today. I dislike Shaw*s and I'd never go there except I absolutely love Shaw*s cookies and that's the only place to get them. It's such a monopoly.
Who started the thing about the green M&Ms? That has got to be the most successful piece of BS I've ever encountered in my life. Kudos to whoever threw that one out there.
I am going to VT shortly. That means my cell phone will just be off the whole time, since there is no service where I stay. Internet is scarce too, not that that really cramps my style. Basically I am sharing this last bit so that if someone tries to contact me and I do not get back, they will not feel the cold shoulder. Because there is no cold shoulder. Just in case any of you are prone to feeling the cold shoulder that isn't there . . .
In other news I've been kind of running a bit with my mother's cat to try to make it more a dog, and I decided to try on a pair of jeans that didn't fit a while ago, and now they pretty much fit. I am estatic. That means I don't have to buy another pair of jeans for school because for all intents and purposes these ones are new. Pretty cool, yes? Makes me want to go through that whole section in my closet that I haven't done more than peek at in years, just to see if I can re-invent anything. I've given most of my old stuff to the Salvation Army or Goodwill as the years went by, but I may still have something from early high school that I can bust out in a moment of old-school awesomeness.
I love it when people say things like "I'm not trying to re-invent the wheel here." Just once I want to see someone try to get away with that. Re-inventing the wheel, I mean. "Hey now, what have you got there?" "Oh, just something new I'm working on. It's pretty cool- I can roll it and all and I've got some big ideas for it. I just need a name." "For what, your wheel?" "My what- hey now, step off! Don't be cuttin' in on my invention! I wanted to call it a 'wheel' first, and that's what I'm going to the Man with!"
I think it's time to go to sleep.
