      Razr. And American Idol.

      May 16, 2006

      I blame my sluggishness on being out of school while everyone else continues to awaken with an objective. That, and I’ve been cranky since Chris was voted off American Idol.

      A few days ago my phone broke in half. Unfortunately, while the thing still turned on and the buttons continued to light up, the screen portion was down and out. Otherwise, I would’ve kept using it. Actually, I wouldn’t've even bothered to get a new phone right away at all if it wasn’t for the fact that I recently distributed fliers with my phone number on them at the school in order to recruit for next season’s lacrosse team. That wouldn’t've been very professional.

      I never really felt compelled to have a camera phone. I already own two perfectly capable digital cameras and having a third little camera with a third less megapixels wasn’t all that appealing.

      I didn’t have any intention of walking out of Verizon with a Razr. Let alone a pink one. I’ve always been able to pride myself on the fact that I could say, “I don’t do pink.” Instant badass.

      It’s been sitting pitifully on my dresser as I continue the tradition of not answering it. I will admit that the ringtones are much nicer. And the voice activation feature, which requires no pre-programming, is a plus. But I still can’t get over the fact that the keypad reminds me of something out of Fisher Price. I may or may not grow fond of it. I’ll keep you updated.

      For now I may pick it up once to vote for Katharine McPhee, and then continue to anxiously await for 9Rules‘ next round of submissions. Midnight.

        I think we’re on the same page with the Razrs…which is basically nonchalant. Thank you for giving me to opportunity to use that word.

        I’m bummed about Chris also. I don’t really like the other two guys all that much.

        It’s nice to see someone else who isn’t absolutely obsessed with them.

        And yes, I agree. I’m not very fond of the remaining two idol men.

        Oooh I personally don’t like Razrs either. My friend has one and I got to mess around with it, and it’s not all that great. Sure, it’s sleek and thin, but I guess looks are important to some people :P

        Ah yes, the Razr phenomenon… when I went to upgrade my phone, I also had no intention of walking out of the T-Mobile store with a Razr, and that I did… it must be a conspiracy. =/

        The ring tones are much nicer… but the keys and such are very not user-friendly… Then again, I had a Samsung before, which is basically Phone 101. Ha!

        New recruits for Lacrosse! Are you excited to see the potential out there in this season’s girls?

        Yes! A conspiracy! I completely agree. I guess I was kind of just, “well, it’s the newest thing out there. Misewell get it.”

        And yes, I am so terribly excited. I was thrown into the job this year with about three days of preparation. It’ll be nice having the time to do it all thoroughly.

        I must admit that I get a bit phone crazy.. but it’s not because it’s a phone as much as a new gadget for me to play with. lol. I used to be a bit of a pink hater too. Then all of a sudden I bought myself bright pink sweater. And actually wore it. *shock* *horror*
