So about a week ago I got a new phone, because the track ball on my Blackberry kept sticking and I kept accidentally sending text messages to the wrong people and making phone calls that I didn’t mean to make without knowing it and then one dickhead actually accused me of sending him my grocery list ON PURPOSE SO I COULD GET HIS ATTENTION and that’s when I was all FUCK YOU, ASSHOLE, if I want your attention (which I DON’T)  I can get it without resorting to lame ass tricks, and also, FUCK THIS STUPID PHONE

So I got a NEW phone, which is BAD ASS and can do all kinds of magical things that my other one couldn’t, and I am in love with it and want to marry it and have little baby phones, which my phone and I will raise together in our cottage in the forest and they will all grow up to be even better phones than their father and I will sell them and make millions of dollars for my half-human, half-phone BAD ASS BABIES and then I will leave their father in his home in the woods and move to a penthouse apartment in the big city where I will have a cook and a driver and every once in a while I’ll run into that asshole who once accused me of playing stupid tricks to get his attention but I won’t even remember his name.  And he’ll realize what a shitty thing that was to accuse me of and try to apologize but Security will stop him in the lobby of my high-rise apartment building (which I now own because I have millions from selling my half-breed babies) and he’ll have to find some other way to get my attention, so he’ll start “accidentally” sending me text messages with stuff like recipes for beef stroganoff and directions to his grandmother’s house but it won’t work because NEWSFLASH, ASSHOLE: THAT IS A STUPID WAY TO GET SOMEONE’S ATTENTION.

So anyway, the point is, I have this new phone that I love and it has a camera, which I used today to take pictures of myself and send to random people, because I can.  Pictures like this:

Office1

And this:

Office2

And this:

Office3

(I have no idea why it looks like I’m missing a pinky in this picture.  I swear I have one.  Two, actually.)

And I sent two or three of those pictures to the Big Bean, in an email with the title “Playing around with my phone camera,” which I thought was pretty self-explanatory, but apparently not because a few minutes later I got a call from him and the first thing he said was “I just got all of your pictures. What was THAT all about?” which made me feel all hateful and stabby because Number One: How am I supposed to answer that question?  Did the title not explain it well enough for you?  What do you THINK it was all about, Captain Douche?  and Number Two:  Really?  THIS is how you decide to start the conversation?  It never ONCE occurred to you that maybe you should jump off with something like “You look pretty” or “I really liked those pictures” or even “What happened to your pinky?” Really?

So then I called the BFF and I was all, “Am I just a bitch, or was that really kind of offensive?” and she was all “Is this a trick question?” and I was all, “Okay, let’s assume that I AM a bitch” and she was all “Hell to the DUH” under her breath and I was all “But even with my bitch status, that was STILL kind of offensive, right?” and she was all “FUCK YEAH IT WAS, is he retarded or something?” so then we started brainstorming about ways that I could seek revenge and finally we just came up with telling him how stupid he is and sending him this:

bird

Which DID actually make me feel better and less stabby, and THAT was the point of this story.

The end.

  1. Wow, i just got a new phone Friday and it doesn’t do any of those things. i guess it’s an old fart’s phone. i like yours better.

  2. Is it weird that I got all excited to see a picture of you?
    Cause I did.
    I might have been all giddy and was like “THAT’S BEEJ!!!”
    And if you do happen to think that it’s weird, I’ll send you a pic of me and my bird.

  3. You did look pretty. (And I thought that before I knew the story about the retarded husband comment.)

  4. I seem to always start your blog posts with a smile, that turns into a giggle and then into all out laughter. You? Awesome.

  5. Must incorporate “stabby” into feelings chart.

    Awesome.

    You are sooper purty

    xoxo

  6. there needs to be a “like” button on this thing.

  7. You make me so happy. :)

  8. Either I’m dumb or there’s some new slang I haven’t got hold of, but when I first read the title I immediately thought of you performing a sexual act.

    I sicken myself.

    Still, you look pretty.

  9. Super extra points for flipping him off with the wedding ring finger, though I assume that is only because you are right-handed and you needed the dominant hand to operate the phone. Still: style points awarded.

  10. Ah, stabby. So that’s what that emotion is called, all those times that I want to kill my husband as painfully as possible. Stabby. Love it.

  11. A-well-a everybody’s heard about the bird
    B-b-b-bird, bird, bird, b-bird’s the word[..]

  12. I love reading your posts! I totally get you. After reading this http://themusicalfruit.net/?p=1841, I think we may have been separated at birth. :)

  13. Love it! And hey, what happened to your pinky? Heh.

  14. Nobody does stream-of-consciousness blog posts better than you.

  15. OK my phone now has phone envy of your phone.

    My cool purple phone with the awesome name isn’t feeling so cool and awesome any more. Maybe if I took a self portrait of me flipping someone off and just sent it to someone randomly that might help?

    No? Well, it was just a thought.

  16. and that is why my twitter avi is me flipping the bird.

    Cause it makes me feel superior and awesome and heads all the arsehats off at the pass.

  17. Stepping around the half-human/half-phone baby mess….you do the Texas middle finger thingy, wherein you bend your pointer and ring fingers half-way down your middle finger. I’m sure there’s some reason for it, and that it isn’t called the Texas middle finger-thingy.

    Also, you’re lying about having two pinkies.

  18. ah, beej, just getting caught up again and it is CLEAR that i have missed some stellar posts in action. i have been remiss. it shall not happen again. thank you for being all amusing all the time.
