I got on my blog this morning and saw I had 2 count them 2 followers!! couldn't believe it... how in all of the internets did I .... the lowly newbie got 2 followers... so i clicked on them ... and realized with joy and sorrow that they were my 2 best friends....
I feel kind of like a luddite these days... I am not sure about the tweeting thing... although i DO have 2 followers that are not my friends... hmmm maybe i should tell them about my blog and then i could have 4 whole followers... then i will be on my way to ruling the world... bwaahahaahhhaaa
anyway back to the luddite-E-ness.... i went to check out new cell phones the other day (since mine has not worked in 6 months) and the nice guy started asking me about iphones and pda's and data plans and texting and this and that... so i said
"I don't want to text ... EVER... he has an iphone (pointing to michael) and i hate that damn thing...
to which the nice guy responded with utter amazement and disbelief "OH"
then i said...
"this is what i like... i like automatic cars ... that when you put the key in them ... they go!! and i want a phone that has an alarm and calls people!! and this is what i like.... no zippie, flippy, slide-y things ..... But i really would like to see the time on the front though
i have been called "high maintenance" by some people in the past ... but when it comes to gadgets and gizmos... i want what i wanted in my wedding dress when the nice lady at the she-she boutique said after i decided on a dress in 20 minutes that i saw in a magazine... wouldn't you like to try on some more things... what kind of things do you like?
I said... well i don't really know what i like BUT i'll tell you what i don't like...
I don't want lace, pearls, sparkly things, rosettes, things that make me look like a cupcake, beading, netting, ribbons, tulle, no halter tops or squared off tops at the base of the neck...and other stuff like that...
so she came back with 4 dresses... out of the hundreds of couture dresses she had "in the back"
and i tried them on reluctantly and they weren't right...
I tried on the dresses and the only one i still remember is this little number with a drop waist and cap type sleeves... it was a christian dior and it had a big rose on it but on the hanger it looked like maybe i would really like it... then i put it on.... and well it looked like i was going to my first communion ... so i went with the one i saw in the magazine and tried on when it didn't zip up in the back.... diamond white satin... obi style train in the back ... simple, elegant, beautiful!
Anyway... back to the poor man at the cell phone store ... when i finished ... he smiled and said "well then you really want that side of the store"
so there you have it... i have all this technology and am struggling to use it... part of me thinks i am struggling because really ... who would want to hear my ramblings... i don't use punctuation... like i said before i ramble .... and i am generally an in person or on the phone with real voices and inflections type of girl...
but part of me ... seems to like it... and i wasn't expecting that!!
