The Life of Me

Cell phones... Hmmm... I'm neutral... I mean, they're handy. And I have nothing against texting and calling and playing games on them... (Although lately I've been thinking, how lame are these games? I mean, you're tapping and swiping a screen and getting fingerprints all over it just to avoid obstacles or whatever the game is...) (But I actually haven't played games-on-cell-phones in a while... Whatever...) 

But I do think phones are pretty necessary from high school on up. But apparently my sisters' high school (which will remain nameless) disagrees. They just decided not to allow students to have their phones on their person at all--not even in the lunch room. *collective gasp* I know, right? It's ridiculous. And they can't force their students to leave their phones in their lockers or at home. They can't even send a quick text to their parents in between classes. (At least, they're not supposed to... ;)...) So they have to use the office phone whenever they need to contact someone. I think someone should make something bad happen--nothing terrible or dangerous; just something small-ish--that would make all the students have to call their parents. I can just see the staff walking by the office, seeing this mob of students, waiting to call their parents. That'll change the rule-enforcers' minds. Haha. 

But it does drive me nuts when I see someone just on their phone. Constantly. Eternally. Never-ending-ly. Like, if a zombie apocalypse happened, they wouldn't even notice. I was on vacation with my family. We were at a very vacation-y place (I don't remember where... But I know it was vacation-y) and I saw this girl just sitting on a bench outside, texting. And then, a little while later, I saw her again, in the same place. I was like, Really? That's what you're going to do here? (I didn't say that to her... I just thought that...)

So, yeah... Toodles!
