after i received my first cell phone at 16 (now kids get cell phones at birth, practically, cool), i upgraded after a while, and from there on, completely downhill. i do feel really bad about all my technology issues, but i've come to terms with it and finally started doing things like getting insurance on my phone/camera/computer warranty, the works.
let's start with cameras and ipods:
one of the best stories and most recent, i lost my camera on halloween (how? beats me), i awake, camera-less, super bummed about not having it, because i remember comical pictures. in april or may, someone drops the camera off at our house, it was in a pile of leaves in our neighbors yard (i had not been at the neighbors the night before...uh, i don't think). naturally, i had already replaced the camera, but somehow i either threw my camera, fell in a leaf pile or who knows what, causing the camera to be mia for most of the school year...
my cameras have had cracked screens, stuck lenses, more cracked screens, water damage and so on.
ipods, lost, water damaged stolen, stolen (one time i was convinced my ipod was lost and later it was found in a sweatshirt pocket, that was cool/not)
but let's get to the main event... jenny and cell phones....
the time when it was the worst: spring of senior year at valpo, honest mistake i had my blackberry in my sweatshirt front pocket, i go to use the rest room and somehow maneuvering when entering the stall, blooop,, blackberry in the toilet. don't worry, i had that insurance i was talking about, new phone to be shipped asap... wait. wait. wait. new phone arrives, half a week later, guess what? defective phone. must send out for new/ not defective phone. new new phone comes have it for two day, i'm wandering home after a trip to the bar and i stumble... blooooop. blackberry goes for a swim 2.0. apidnfoaiffnaosdf. 3 blackberry's 2 weeks, new record?
other instances include: phone on couch- conveinently falling into small cup of ice tea on the floor. random water damage, cracked screens, more water damage, lost briefly at lollapalooza
i swear i try really hard to keep track of my belongings, and i had been doing so much better, until this week. but if all that info wasn't enough for you, here's some proof of how i usually get into my phone troubles...
phone sitting on the bar at a party, bad choice
shouldn't be using phone at all during the iditarod (ask if you want to know what it is)
by the look of this awkward pose, i should definitely not be handing a phone at this time.
phone AND camera in hand at sigma chi formal? somehow both survived the evening..whew.
senior bar crawl. say no more.
I am still dumbfounded by the amounts of ipods, cellphones and even laptops that have been murdered these past four years. I will never forget going through Jenny's closet to steal a hoodie and going in the pocket and pulling out her purple ipod. She had already upgraded to the ipod touch, so I got to keep mr. purple since my ipod was stolen the summer prior. but of course, since it had belonged to jenny originally, its death was inevitable, even if I had adopted it. Thank you to whoever took it during beer olympics...jerks.
ReplyDeleteid also like to add that there's an entire (private) facebook album devoted to those halloween pictures which were on hiatus for 7 months. Lets see the pictures Jenny!!! Haha, joking kind of.
