Having gone and done something rather silly. Only way to describe it is silly.
Everyone in my White-Bread Suburb™ has a cell phone. Everyone, that is, but me. Seriously. One of my friends did not: she recently got one from her parents (who think being able to call will make her call if she’s out late.)
My parents, however, will (maybe) get me a phone when I graduate this coming spring (whoo-hoo!) So, as all my friends can be reached anywhere, anytime, by text messages or brief calls, I cannot. Know what it’s like to be the only single person in a friendly gathering who doesn’t check their pockets/purse when they hear a phone ring? I do.
So, I decided to be proactive, and do something about this.
No, I did not go out and get a job and thus, money, as my parents would like me to (no one is hiring anyone.
I went out to the dollar store, and plunked down $1.06 for a little toy cell phone. So I now also have a phone, but it’s damn hard to get good reception. But I plan on downloading some cool ringtones (I swear, pushing * on my phone plays ‘Cotton-eye Joe’), and I, too, am now a full member of Snooty Suburban Life.
Now I just want to know what I can get a mad cheap fake SUV…
