We figured we&#8217;d just add me to his plan, but we found out that doing that would be a bit expensive and we decided to look elsewhere. On Monday night he ordered a couple flip phones from Verizon. When we got home today they were on our doorstep.<\/p>\n<p>I am not too into cellphones, which is one of the reasons I never had one before now, but it&#8217;s not such a bad little thing. It doesn&#8217;t sound as horrible as I expected, maybe we&#8217;re close to a future where cellphones don&#8217;t suck. The phone has text messaging, so now I can be one of those people who can&#8217;t tell the difference between IRC and &#8220;chatting&#8221; on their cellphone.<\/p>\n<p>Today at work they asked me if I could stay for the next 3 weeks. I accepted of course, it&#8217;s not a bad job, and having guarenteed income for the next few weeks is great, especially since my birthday is coming up and I want to buy myself lovely things to get over the fact that I&#8217;m turning 23 and still don&#8217;t have a clue where I&#8217;m going with my career %D<\/p>\n<p>I spoke with my Aunt Elaine the other night. It&#8217;s always nice talking to her, she makes me feel more sane and grounded. I&#8217;ve lived with her a few times, and we&#8217;re very close, but we have a tendancy to lose touch when one of us moves. I hadn&#8217;t spoken to her in almost a year. She&#8217;s finishing up her degree at RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) and then she&#8217;s looking for a place to settle down, considering Philly. That&#8217;d be cool, having family around again would be nice, especially family that I actually LIKE.<\/p>\n<p>I had a weird dream about coffee makers last night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, it turns out that Michael&#8217;s contract with Sprint ran out in July.
