| Thank you google images. Exactly how I felt. |
Needless to say, the snow fucked up my snow day. I got woken up after 3 hours of sleep of our neighbor banging on our door. Which, my parents started talking to him, and then I overheard something about a cement mixer that slide on the slush on the road and took out the pole in front of my neighbor’s house; which is also the pole we use. Well, our internet was out, our cable was out and it was a mess. It took the people 10 hours to put the damn thing back up fully, and our internet people were supposed to come today, which that didn’t happen. (I’m currently writing this blog ahead of time in Word). So, I have been without internet all day and it’s been driving me insane.
Normally I’m on the internet most of the day if I have nothing else to do, which was one of those days. My classes were cancelled because of the snow, but I couldn't enjoy it because the snow caused some dude to take out our telephone pole. So to try and make up for it, I've been going on the internet on my phone to check messages, which is a pain in the butt. So, yes, I sit here now, staring at my internet connection hoping that it magically starts up so I can finally check my e-mail and everything else without it being a pain or not being able to open on my phone.
After my day of “Solitude”, as it were, I realize just how much everyone relies on the internet, and technology to enhance their everyday lives. It’s amazing to me, how some people don’t even own televisions. I guess I was a “New fangled child” with all this gadgetry.
Story:
Now, I must tell you something very important. When having a phone that directly connects to facebook and other sites that have numbers, make sure when you’re texting your significant other, or someone you joke around with, make sure the number isn’t the number on their Facebook (that is wrong).
For the past week or so, I have been trying to text my boyfriend, which he was receiving none of my texts and it was very frustrating. (Text, after text, after text). Some of them were very funny, and probably not age appropriate, in hopes they would go through.
So, earlier this evening, after forgetting to sometimes type in his number so I could get messages through, they were rather embarrassing texts that were meant for him (funny jokes mind you). I get this call from an elderly lady around 12:30am, with the picture from my boyfriend’s facebook that pops up when he calls. I pick it up, thinking it was him. “Hello?” Here, this poor lady had been receiving all of my text messages. My phone, someone switched from his cell phone, to the wrong cell phone number on his Facebook. So, for the past week, this poor, 70 year old woman, who has no idea about technology (she told me herself) has been getting all these hilarious and sometimes serious text messages. After she told me this, and was getting frustrated and confused by all my messages, decided to call me. Which, I am so glad she did! I can finally text again without sending them to the wrong place. But, after she told me, I felt about an inch high, and wanted to curl up in the corner and act like I didn't exist.

| How I felt.... |
Now, if you’re like any of my friends, you think this is absolutely hilarious. Well, it kind of is, but I feel so bad, and really embarrassed. This nice woman was getting text, after text. (In desperation of trying to get through, I sent the alphabet in different text messages. I think total I sent her about 50 messages, if not in a row.) So, lesson learned, when the person you're texting isn't getting your messages, check the number you're sending it too. =P
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
