This 'telephone' has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. - Western Union internal memo, 1876.

I got a cell phone! Yay! I've been meaning to get one for a while, since i"M going to be driving and doin' all kinds of stuff next school year. This way my parents can keep track of me.

My mom actually bought the phone for me, but I'll have to pay for the service. It's a Tracfone so I think I can handle it. My phone is a cute little Nokia 1221. The only lame thing is that I can't compose new ringtones, and I can't seem to find a place to download them for free. Oh well, it's still cool.

In other news, I'm doing some work-ish thing for our family friends, the Southwicks, this weekend, so I may have cash for once! Joy. Also, I am a White House Staffer.

Cool.
