Scientists will want to study me after what I am about to reveal.
Are you ready? Ok, here goes.
I have gone...
4...
months...
without...
a CELLULAR TELEPHONE!
The best part is, I'm still alive!
I know it's hard to believe but trust me. I live and breathe and I don't have any withdrawls or side effects!
I first got a cell phone when I was 15 years old and didn't stop texting for 2 years straight. It was awesome! It's amazing how blunt and forward one can be when they don't have to look the person in the eye as they "say" things. Another great/awful thing about texting is the unlimited time there is to figure out the perfect response to recieved texts.
I was about 17 when I realized that there are definitely better ways to communicate. I also started to wonder what it would be like to have a boy actually call me or even talk to me in person and say "would you like to go on a date with me?" Instead of getting a text saying "Hey we should hang out sometime."
I'm not claiming that I suddenly grew up and stopped texting or anything that ambitious, but I did learn to calm it down and dial numbers once in a while.
Now it's been 4 months of freedom from the small, yet powerful device and I just got a sim card for a cell phone over here in NZ. I can honestly say I don't really want one! I know how crazy that sounds, but it's true! I have successfully become completely used to not having a cell phone. Hence, it can be done! But it is necessary here if I want to have any kind of a social life. Which I do.
So we meet again, cellular world. Please don't cling too tightly to me.
