Cell Phones. The bane of all intellectual conversations. A teacher's worst adversary. The sole reason movie-go-ers wish that we could legally beat someone with those foul, over-priced pickles.
Have you tried to have a chat with one so deeply involved with a cell phone? It's pretty damn impossible. Take today for example.
>Me
<Her
>Heyo.
<...
>Uh- ?
<Oh, hey, sorry, I was.
>........Was.....?
<? Oh, texting.
Apparently this thing can limit your ability to speak full sentences.
>Ah. *shrug* Hey, where were you last period?
<Ditching.
>Er- doing...?
<Oh, hang on-
She proceeded to slam a binder into my mouth, a supposed gesture telling me to polite stfu whilst she answers her phone. Two minutes, three rofl's and one chipped tooth later.
<Okay, what were you saying?
>You know what? I don't even know.
<Text me it.
>Er- I'm right here. Why do I need to-
<Ssssssht. I don't want the teacher to see my phone!
>*confused* Alright.......
Five minutes later.
>So..... how was your day?
<.....
>Hellloooooo?
At that moment, I felt a buzz in my pocket. Opening it up, I had one text awaiting my viewing:
< [It wuz cool. lol :p]
>*turning around to face her.* Seriously??
As if I never was able to get a girl to talk to me for more than ten minutes at a time. Now I have cricKet to compete with.
Oh, and guys are picking up on this habit too.
>So, that's when I said, "Your mother!" And then the whole class was just like, *silence* and then I said- I said- dude.
<Oh yeah, I'm listening. My mom's fine. Why?
Even in semester presentations worth half my grade. The one that was meant to occupy students for a week and give the teach' a weak excuse to plop another grade on us? The public-humiliation period spanning ten minutes where we dole out tedious little tidbits to fellow sleeping students while trying not to fall asleep ourselves because we happen to be standing?
I was the unlucky one to be stuck with a texter as a partner. Our day came:
>...Southern secession began shortly after discovering Lincoln had been elected as the next president, as they believed that from there on, their rights would be violated. Ironically enough, they felt that their citizen rights included completely negating those of other people- usually the slaves they owned.
I looked about the classroom. no one was interested. Hell, I wasn't. After a dead pause, I looked at my partner- She was supposed to be saying something- but she was too busy texting her latest adventure to a friend. After nudging her and letting out a shrill but quiet "Psst!" she finally caught on. What a thing to do in the middle of a frikkin' presentation.
<Oh. Sorry- Um- Yeah, and then, the south states decided to break off after Lincoln was elected, because they thought that- thought that- Michael, quit poking me, I got this-
Jesus.
