out of touch

last night i dropped my phone. on concrete steps. i got to see what it looks like on the inside. it was a sad day because my phone is one of my only connections to other human beings.

i feel like i've been excommunicated from society.

  2. That's so tragic! At least you still have internet, that some sort of connection. How far did it fall?

  6. Recently I finally bought a new cellphone only to have it slip through my fingers on its second day of existence,
    Hit the stairs

    I stood shocked while my siblings gathered all the little pieces and put it back together

    It isnt the same anymore. :(

    Hope yours is still functioning too

  10. I’m pretty sure if my phone ever broke, I’d have it replaced within the hour, or at the earliest possible moment (assuming the accident occurred late in the evening). I have enough trouble when just the battery dies. I used to have two batteries; a fully charged one always waiting in the wings should the other run out. I went thought some serious withdraws when I lost an extra battery (and I still have nightmares about it) so I can’t even speculate the horrors that my body would endure should the entire phone be rendered useless.

  11. Sad. Very sad. I hope you recover soon.

    It's nice that at least that sort of friend is easily replaceable. Just takes money. Ah, true love.

    The worst part would be replacing the address book. Hope you have a SIM card!

  12. Reading over this post and comment thread, one thing is clear. You people have an illness.

  13. tragic. that has never happened to me thank god, but I live in fear that one day I'll just knock my phone out of loft bed (when I bring it up there) and it'll sail for a few seconds before meeting a spetacular end. its a crap phone now, scratched and banged up like crazy, but I am dependent on it just as crazily.

    hope you get it replaced a.s.a.p.

    stay strong. *I did while trying to comment as I wanted to after omar blatantly caught us all out as being cell addicts.*

  15. I went without my mobile phone for two weeks... and loved every minute of it.

    I was very reluctant to have it back...

    Silence is golden, golden...
