txting
Last Friday I was supposed to stay in. My friends convinced me to go out and hang out with friends. So I said hey I’ve worked my 6 hours I think I deserve a break. So we got picked up around 9 and we headed out to meet more friends. The moment we arrived to “the spot” , a shady looking intersection in south central my friends phone begin vibrating. When we got out the car and all formed our usual circle my friend was STILL txting. I offered her a beer, tried making jokes, messing with her hair. Nothing. She’s addicted to her blackberry. After awhile of watching her txt I thought hey why wasn’t I txting. And I txted my boyfriend just to say “hey I love you”. And then it hit me.. it’s almost contagious. I didn’t even really want to txt. Sure I was thinking of my boyfriend and I wanted to let him know I loved him. But I didn’t get why I got upset that he didn’t txt me back. I knew he was hanging out and he was probably just not thinking about his phone. Then I noticed I wasn’t the only one. After me came my friend ***. She even said outloud she felt out the loop because my first friend was txting then she saw me txt. And lastly *******. She was txting people who were there. With us. Physically. And this continued late into the night. By the end as we quietly sat eating our food. I longed for my friends back. lol well it wasn’t that bad.
