I hate the idea of having a home phone. I don't have any real use for it anymore. Long distance is a thing of the past, and who the hell is home long enough to actually be reached?
With all my phone equity placed in my cell phone, it doesn't exactly bode well if said phone is ever misplaced.
After a night out (surprise), and getting a ride home from a friend, I proceeded to my apartment like usual. As I got in the elevator, I did the usual slightly OCD pocket check. Wallet? Check. Keys? Check. Phone? Fuck.
Now, with no phone, I find myself in a pickle. How do I reach said friend and inform them that apparently my phone is now taking residence in their car? It's not like I can call them and let them know.
So, after reaching my apartment, I tried a few things, including, but not limited to, screaming, cussing, and using the internet to text message both my phone, and my friend's. After a while, I gave up, and went to bed.
Luckily, the following morning, my friend figured it out and was able to drop it off before work.
It just goes to show...regardless of how well connected you might feel, it all goes away rather fast if you're too drunk to remember where you put your "connection"...

Fuck. I'd be soo fucking lost if I lost my celly. I don't even know my OWN phone number, muchless the phone numbers of any people actually programmed in my phone. Isn't that why you program people in your phone? So you don't HAVE to memorize their numbers?
I don't have a home phone. It's a ripoff. I get all my long distance through mobile phone, and, like you said, I'm not home long enough to ever be reached there. However, this creates shit when people ask me,
"Home phone"
I tell them my cell.
"Cell phone"
I tell them my cell and they look at me like I'm retarded or something.
I'm totally with Demasta and Jacob. Who the hell has a home phone anyway? I enjoy peaceful evenings that aren't interupted by telemarketers. I would be SCREWED if I lost my phone though. Screwed.
tinapopo has home phone. because tinapopo's cell phone mysteriously stops working the second she steps inside her house, rendering her incommunicado, and only able to speak about herself in the third person.
I have a home phone.. cuz its just silly not to.
I think it's just silly TO have a home phone when you won't use it. I already use my cell for long distance, and I would only use my home phone like once per week. For that, the phone company wants $40 a month. Not all of us are married to doctors with huge disposable incomes to waste on luxuries like telephones! ;)
BTW...I think Pizzle died.
Yeah, it seems Pizzle has fallen off the face of the planet. Oh well, people get busy! Much love Pizzle!
Yeah, pizzle. Where did you go? :(
Did you not have time to post for awhile and then felt so guilty that you avoided your blog too? I got over it and so can you.
Damn Piz, I thought I abandon my blog... lol
