telefono

[The title should have an accent on the second "e." Just saying]

So I left my phone in someone's car that I don't even know because they were a friend of a friend. Hopefully I'll get it back tonight, but for the time being, as pathetic as this sounds, I feel utterly and completely handicapped.

Seriously.

There are endless possibilities of people who might be wanting to get a hold of me RIGHT NOW, but I will never know... Oh the uncertainty!! (I will probably get it back tonight and see that absolutely no one called/sent a text, but still...)

Querida Tecnologia,

You really got a hold on me.

Love, Tanya

In the daylight I don't pick up my phone...

because in the daylight anywhere feels like home... (Great song by Matt and Kim)

I don't answer my phone very often. I have just realized this.

I'm also not very good at texting people back. I know it's really easy, but here is what happens:

I will be OCD about carrying my phone on me and I will get no incoming anything. Then I forget about my phone and I'll get like 5 texts like that. It's annoying, but not too annoying because I do love a good dose of irony, so it's okay.

I'm also not very good at texting lingo. I feel like I use too many smiley faces unneccesarily only because words sound so dry when I text them--especially when I don't know the person that well. Here's what happens:

I get a text often a couple hours after the fact. I'll spend (probably too much) time thinking about how to respond exactly how I would in real life, which is always impossible because it's texting. Then I just avoid the situation all together and don't text back. Besides, I hate being the last person to text anyway (defense mechanism). But I often get chastised by Katie that I'm sending the wrong message or that it is interpreted by most people as being rude and indifferent.



But I promise, that is not my intention. I'm just weird that's all.
