Technology is really just saying "no" to me. I've gone through at least 7 blackberries during the past two years... I've actually lost count but it has to be at least 7. Now I have a HTC phone and this is my second one since April and it's just quitting on me. Phones do not like me. I buy cases for them a week before I get the actual phone and I take really good care of them but they just die on me. Sadly (well not so much) this phone's time is up, I'm ordering another one by the end of the week. I wonder if my friends will still talk to me if I walk around with two cups and a string. I really hope so because it may just come to that. I've spent a crazy amount of time on the phone with At&T and it's kind of amazing they still put up with me. Then again, throw in a little sweet talk and they're pretty accommodating. They gave me back over 16,000 rollover minutes when I changed my plan when they're supposed to bring it back down to 0.
I grew up with "old school" values because of my grandmother and she's a tough cookie. She's not the most accepting person but it's like I've gone in the complete opposite direction. Over time she kind of accepted that I'm going to date whomever I want but it was definitely tough in the beginning. My boyfriend is black and you really can't get much whiter than me. I've very light skinned. Some people (including friends) really give us problems for that. Sometimes we just have random people smile at us and that's sweet but dirty looks are really not appreciated and uncalled for. You'd think with the world we live in people would be more accepting. Personally I'm very accepting because I don't think I have any right to say which religion, sexual orientation, race, or whatever else is "right" or "correct." It's sad to see or hear about some of my friends that have had people talk about them behind their back for those types of reasons. I think people that judge people because of those reasons or probably any reason at all are pretty much ignorant.
