To all you people whose numbers I have had saved on my phone:
The phone’s gone. Yes, the very same piece of gorgeousness that the Boy gifted me on my birthday, less than 8 weeks ago.
IT WAS STOLEN (the pox on the thief!), and I’ve been officially AWOL for the last 10 hours.
The new sim will take a few days to arrive, and my number stays the same (hallelujah!) but until then I’m just going to attempt a phone-less existence and pretend I live in 1997. (My mother doesn’t buy that I’ll survive without my ear extension, so I have a point to prove here.)
Alright, now if you’re done clucking in sympathy, please to email your numbers. And do drop a little something in my Phone-For-OJ Fund. I’ll be in that corner over there, still foaming at the mouth.

This is why I don’t own a cellphone.
…
Well, it’s ONE of the reasons I don’t own a cellphone.
Never thought I would ever meet someone who doesnt own a cell phone. Congratulations.
OJ…time to wipe the dust off your book on Telepathy!
…and can you please edit and put another “f” in there?
There, there, don’t foam
Another’ll come home
Bettter ‘un, for sure

Quick, cast a spell — thief into gnome!
Not fair. Damn you nasty thief.
My ma’s phone (the one my dad gave her for their anniv) got stolen too..in the college she teaches in.

Amrita: The *real* reason is because brilliant writers like you are allowed to be eccentric. 😛
Damnhobsons: Refer to the comment above yours, you uber techie. 😀
Aunty G: I didn’t *want* another one. This isn’t just one more phone. It’s very very special to me.
Gooddaysunshine: Ouch! That’s mean, mean, mean! Tell your mom I know how that feels.
Stepping: Hey stranger, 😀 you FINALLY delurked. Big hug to you too, hon. Miss you tons.
