My New Phone Makes me a Cool Girl...Not!

I am really excited because more people have been contributing their thoughts to my little webcage both here in my web log and to the forums. I hope this trend continues because I think that the more interactive things are, the more fun it will be so if you have any thoughts or whatever, share them okey? Also, I'm running a little behind on email right now but I'm going to try to catch up so if you wrote me and it wasn't one of these messages like "come suck my cock bitch, my number is..." then I will respond but I'm just slow right now.

Sometimes when I'm writing this thing I start with one idea and I kind of go all over the place. It's not very well organized sometimes and definately not thought out beforehand and I think it shows. I'm pretty sure that today's writing falls into the all over the place catagory. I hope you can stand it.

So here's the thing, I got a new cell phone yesterday, I'm very excited about it. It's a pink Razr phone and its pretty cool. I got it free for renewing my cell phone service contract and now I look like a poor but Asian version of Paris Hilton. You believe that right? Maybe not. But anyway, I got this one not only because the pink was nice and girlie which is good, I like girlie things sometimes, but also it was really thin which I like because unlike a lot of women, I don't like to carry around a big bag with a lot of crap. I try to be efficient about things. I don't even know half the things this phone does and I don't really care either. I just like having something I can call my friends on and my old phone was so beat up that it didn't even work half the time.

I was thinking though about cell phones and manners and stuff. I've always tried to be extra courteous with it but I wonder if I'm the only one. I try not to drive and talk at the same time. I see these people (there's a lot of them here in Los Angeles) who are holding a cell phone with one hand, something else with the other (book, magazine, map, food, makeup, etc) and how they're driving I don't know. I hate getting behind these people because they slow down to a crawl, realize that they've nearly stopped in the middle of the 405 freeway for no reason other than the fact that they weren't paying attention, then speed up again only to slow down again. That is of course when they're not weaving around. Driving takes enough focus and energy that the phone glued to the ear is just another distraction. I'm not sure how I feel about those fancy cars with the phone built in. Maybe that's okey because its not that different from talking to a passenger or something. I'm not sure. So anyway, if you see me driving my little Jeep down the road and I get a call, I usually will pull over if I can and deal with it.

I used to love going to the movies too. Seriously, I love movies, but lately I've started to rethink the whole experience. I know I'm not the only one because the movie business has been making a big deal to try and get people to see movies in the theatre. The thing is, it's really expensive to see a movie in the theatre, very few movies over the last year were actually any good and worth it and most movies come out on DVD within a couple of months of being in the theatre anyway. I was at a movie last week (don't ask which movie but it was one of those that looks pretty cool in the previews but then pretty much sucks) and they played the commercial before the movie to turn off your cell phones (don't get me started though on the commercials at the movies, I hate the idea of paying like $10 to watch commercials. I can do that at home for free). Right after that commercial ended they started the movie. This guy in front of me pulls out his cell phone and starts texting someone. That was kind of annoying because the screen was all lit up, but I ignored it. But then another guy picks up his phone and starts dialing out. I turned to my friend and I said I hope that guy isn't making a call in here. He turned around and said "that guy is making a call and its none of your damn business". That was kind of rude I thought so I said he should take it in the lobby which he refused to do. In the meantime the movie is going on and this guy is sitting there having an extra loud conversation just to spite us. What's the point of paying all that money to go see a movie and then talk on the cell phone through the whole thing. I just don't get it. Not only would I never make a call in the middle of a theatre like that, but I actually turn my cell phone off. Am I the only person on the planet with any cell phone manners at all? So my conclusion was that I don't think I'll be going to the movies for a while. Its just too much trouble and its easier to watch it at home.

So this whole cell phone ettiquette thing got me wondering if the way we treat each other is going downhill in general. There are plenty of people who try to get away with things they know they shouldn't be doing, and then when they get caught they don't take responsibility for their actions but instead blame someone or something else. Or maybe my view is clouded by the fact that in Los Angeles there's a disproportionate amount of egotistical self centered losers and its not so bad elsewhere. I know in Wailuku, Maui where I'm from, people are generally still nice to each other. Or maybe I'm just getting old. Soon I'll be sitting on the porch in a rocking chair complaining about these damn kids and that noise they call music. It's wierd, I'm actually a very positive person. No really, I am!

See, this is what happens to me. I have all these really hot sexual things to talk about and then I get distracted by some other issue. This is the way my life is by the way. If you ever hang out with me, I WILL drive you crazy, its a sure bet. I do this all the time, we'll be going to dinner and I'll say I want make a quick stop somewhere and that reminds me of something else and then half the night is gone and we never did get to dinner. I think it definately takes a lot of patience to hang out with a girl like me. Sure I'm a really cute little whore who loves to be chained like an animal, but I'm also quirky huh? Hey, it just part of what makes me so fun right? Maybe not. Anyway, I'm done complaining for now and I have some really exciting sexual things I want to talk about and I really believe I can get to some of them next time. No really!
