heck ya i got a bberry. and its pink too

September 13, 2008 Crystal blackberry, humor, im cool, medium
yes my hair is darker. no, i don't know why my fingers look so long
darker hair. cooler phone. same towels.

first of all, yes. i love it!

second of all, my mom (a verizon employee with discounts) got it for me, so it’s not like im suddenly rich. (although some say i live in a mansion based on my attached garage status).

im talking about my new blackberry curve of course.

for those of you stuck in 2006, let me explain to you why a blackberry is god’s way of making up for 8 years of George W. Bush:

1. my text messages now are displayed as a running conversation. no more, “why did that boy say: he’d like a lick?!… oh. I told him i was baking cookies.” etc.

2. i can totally blog via my phone if i’m so inspired (this post is, however, done the old-fashioned way on a computer)

3. it has a 2 mega pixel camera (see above).

4. it has a digital voice recorder on it, which i can use to interview everyone from a random firefighter, to the mayor.

5. it makes you look really important when you use it.

6. it has a little scolly thing instead of flimsy arrow keys.

7. it comes with a ring tone named ‘crystal’ (yes this is true. yes i’m using it).

8. i can totally read things online (like dooce, or time.com/swampland or thesuperficial.com) when im bored.

9. it totally stores a bunch of music.

10. it’s synced to e-mail, which i can even reply to via my awesome phone.

11. it’s pink.

SEE! SEE how much cool stuff i’ve discovered in the past 24 hours! and im sure there’s just more to come!

im pretty certain i officially have the best mom in the universe.

wait, let me check all-knowing google ……. yep. “in the universe” stands.

if you or someone you love has owned a blackberry longer than 24 hours PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me cool things i can do with it. also send your pin to my phone and we can blackberry messenger (like the cool kids).

p.s. yes, i totally created a ‘blackberry’ category for my blog. what? it’s love people. LOVE!

UPDATE: Kim Kardashian totally has my phone! (see here).

is two hours of fetch excessive?

September 9, 2008 Crystal medium, random thoughts, shadow

 

my new roommate
my new roommate

holy crap. why the heck have i never had a dog before?

seriously. 

fetch with a wet tennis ball is AMAZING. 

i recently have been given the privilege of living with a dog (see above), and that topped with the fact that my mom recently got a dog (hi Shadow!) means that all i want do is use this blog to write about the life lessons I’ve learned via puppies

(i.e. unconditional love rocks, the 10-second rule is totally valid (in dog years it’s a 70-second rule), it’s never good to pee where you sleep, daily walks rule and getting excited to see somebody makes everyone’s day better).

but i HATE when people talk about the stupid life lessons they supposedly learned from their pets.

so instead, im going to tell you how i LOVE making up thoughts for dogs. 

as in: he’s probably thinking “i love crystal” 

he’s probably thinking “im in charge here. humans are stupid.”

he’s probably thinking “there’s too many puddles outside today, I’ll have to pee inside.”

he’s probably thinking “if i dig enough, i’ll totally make my way through this plastic cage.”

see how FUNNY they are?

ha.

i crack myself up.

the only problem is, these dog-thoughts have started to replace my own real human thoughts.

im thinking it’s all the more the proof that (in the words of my friend the writer) I want to be reincarnated as a dog.

GO PUPPIES!

p.s. Dear God, thank you for not making me allergic to dogs. Amen.
