Phon-ey Stuff

Over the summer I took a course on mobile communication devices. I came out of it with more respect for my cell phone. Well, now I have been showing it some love and actually started using it for something other than a belt accessory. I have a new girlfriend in second life, and yes we do real life communication. Not only do we talk on the phone, and using voice in second life, we text. Yes, I finally, after about four years of having a cell phone, I sent my first text message. Ok, so now I’m texting every day, ususally more than once a day…so I get it now. It’s a  nice way to send quick, “I’m thinking of you” kinds of messages, and, of course, getting those back. It’s quite nice to get that little beep that tells me a message awaits, then to check and find a lovely note from my girl. We’ve also used it to convey quick info messages, like her letting me know her internet was down. I can’t always take a call, but I can almost always be reached by text. So my next assignment will be to learn how to do upper case and other miracles of digital manipulation.
