D.O.R.

So my sister has been trying to get me to write more. She's actually been PRESSING ME. (Oh yeah Gigi...I am taking shots at you. LOL)….but sometimes there just isn’t anything to write about...sometimes my life really isn't that funny.... Or in most cases, I can’t really find the words to express what I wanna say…..until a few minutes ago. I'm sitting at my desk looking at the clock on my computer, counting down how much longer I was gonna have to sit here and pretend to be working when I heard,…"Our God is an awesome God he reigns” over and over and over again….

Now you would think if Mary’s phone was ringing constantly, that she had probably stepped out of the room…..no no. she hadn’t. She’s sitting six feet away from me. LETTING HER PHONE RING. I wonder if there is a polite way for me to show her how to use the ignore button. Anyway, it was annoying, but it was the perfect catalyst for me to start writing.

A few weeks ago, my sister and I flew to New York to do some wedding stuff. As always, we were rushing through the airport, and even though I was starving, I had no time to stop and grab a bite. (Five Guys was CALLING MY NAME!) So we once we boarded our flight and pushed off from the gate, USAirways makes an announcement…..the plane won’t be going anywhere for 45 minutes. They only pushed off early so the airport records would show that they had an on time departure. WTF! This pissed me off royally because my stomach was growling and we were sitting on the tar-mack only like 100 yards away from Five Guys....(clearly I was starving. LOL)

My sister and I start chatting and playing with my neice when we hear, "Can't Nobody...Love me better. Makes me Happy....."

This is the ring tone for the passenger sitting across from us. This man let the ENTIRE song play. We sat the baffled as to why he thought this was appropriate. But before we could even whisper and talk shit about him and his ring tones.....HIS PHONE RANG AGAIN! Another 80's diva song...in its entirety. LOL! WTF.

Not only did we get the "pleasure" of listening to his whimsical musical selections, but we got to hear his loud, ridiculous colorful conversations about how he was going to New York to "do it big for his birthday", and he told "girlfriend to have a seat until he arrived". LOL.

I hate ring tones. I think they're horrible.

Death of Ringtones.....2002

la da da da… hey hey hey goodbye...

twitter quitter.

I fell for the hype...I joined twitter.

I was sitting around this weekend chatting with some of my girls about who knows what, when the conversation switched to twitter. I was the only one not on it. And everyone kept talking about how funny this person is, and how interesting that one is. I kept saying no it's not for me, but the pure nosiness/curiosity and peer pressure got to me....I joined twitter the next day.

After about 18 hours on twitter I was frustrated...here are my thoughts about it.

1. I just don't get it.
2. Celebrities you "follow" are lame. Example - I love Erykah Badu, but she's in complete left field all day long. She "tweets" about the "twitty milk" she's breast feeding her baby, and writes like "c u nxt lyftym". By the time I could decipher what she was writing, she'd already written her next message about "Or4nj m00hns".
3. Twitter only seems fun if you're in a club, or some completely awkward/comical situation. I'm sure no one wants to read "tweets" about my buzzing air-conditioner, keyboard clicking, or Mary's phone conversations.
4. It would have been useful yesterday at my part time job to tweet about the stolen shoes, rats in the trash room, or the mall security guards who can sniff out new mall employees like raw meat.
5. Just like I wonder how people check fb/update statuses all day, I feel the same way about twitter.
6. Who has time for this? If my life was that interesting, wouldn't I have a reality show, or even friends in real life who would either experience with me or know about the interesting aspects of my life?
7. I managed to piss off a lot of people bc Twitter tricks you into scanning your email contacts and sending them all requests to join….well when you have 764 contacts, that’s not really the business.
8. I sent 764 emails apologizing for the twitter mishap.
9. Following the apology emails, I got a million emails from people asking how I am? How is work? How is life? Where am I? I thought to myself…damn, maybe you should join twitter to know my whereabouts. Lol.
10. The scanning fiasco opened up the door for a guy I used to date and have been “hiding from for 2 years (lol)” to “follow me” on twitter.
11. I wish I just stuck to my first mind and reminded myself that I thought twitter was pointless.
12. After 36 hours, I’m quitting twitter.
