I am now officially American.  Or maybe Finnish.  Nah, it’s not a Nokia.  Heh.  Anyway, I got my cell phone Friday, and am maybe just a tiny bitty bit obsessed with it.  I did have to figure out all the features with minimal reading of the instruction manual.  Never mind that only my best friend has called me, or even has my number.  The possibility is there.

            Actually, if I’m completely honest, one of the reasons that I got it before I left for college was that I thought it might make my summer better, you know, if my friends could get ahold of me easily to see if I’m available for movie of coffee shop.  I admit, it’s not so logical, especially with my work hours (life occurs between 3-11.  When you have to work at Christmas Tree Shops, life cannot, therefore, occur.) But it’s also a little silly, the kind of thing people are always coming up with “If I do this, then this slightly related thing that only I can really make happen, by doing something that won’t be easy, will happen.”  We’re all lazy.  And scared.

            On another note, I can not wait for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  My writing club (yes, a high school club, but with wonderful people who continue it during the summer on our student(me)-created, student(me, and a couple of my favorite freshman, well, sophomores now)-run, online forum) is rather obsessed, and our last actual meeting was basically just discuss-Harry-Potter-time, and it has gotten me very excited.  If I updated more often, I’d warn you not to expect anything that day or two after.
