apocalypsosPUT YOUR FUCKING CELL PHONE DOWN.
Oh, my God, what the hell is wrong with you? You just went through an entire transaction with the cashier without acknowledging her, without even looking at her, and all so you could ramble on about your daughter's stupid gymnastics class? Just in case you were wondering, when I rolled my eyes for the cashier and said, "Boy, that's not rude at ALL," I was gesturing towards you.
I just ... I don't even get it. I can't remember who it was on ye olde friends list who was saying pretty much exactly this same thing the other day, but do you really need to use a phone ALL the damn time? I don't know -- I have a cell phone for emergencies and nothing else. I have no desire to call anybody with it. I mean, I barely call anyone on my land line, but still. My best friend at work checks her voicemail every night during our lunch break (at one in the morning, mind you) and then calls them back. And it's never anything important enough to warrant a phone call in the middle of the night. The other day she spent the entire lunch break on the phone with someone about absolutely nothing, drove us to Dunkin Donuts and back again, and the entire time she was on the phone didn't bother to acknowledge my existence at ALL.
Sometimes I feel like I was the only one raised to believe that any phone call made after nine o'clock at night had better be because you are on fire and the other person is the closest person you know with an extinguisher. There's so much about cell phone usage that's so rude and selfish I just can't even get into them. The only reason I really want one is because I'm dreadfully addicted to constant email updates, but you know what? I WAIT.
*hands in air*

In less rage-inducing news, Mona and Rachel are horrible, terrible influences.
To translate, I now own Pulse and The Covenant.
Expect drunken recaps. Really, what else am I going to do with them? (I made up for it by buying the second season of Project Runway. That does count as making up for it, yes *hopeful eyes*)
