Another mini-rant about BlackBerry Messenger… Dropped my phone in the bath while also in the bath. Amazingly it worked and was fine and… it just died. For 2 days, no BBM and my symptoms are as follows:
- Sense of isolation
- Deep sense of loneliness
- Languishing social life
- Anxiety about the death of my BlackBerry and BBM for 36 hours
And on the negative side:
- I was more productive
- Had more quality time with me
- Got to actually speak to people and try and form some meaningful friendships
- I started to relax because my BB wasn’t buzzing at me ALL THE FUCKING TIME (yeah I’m popular)
- Began to have a second to think about important things other than my social life
- Realized that BBM addiction stays in your system for 48 hours (uncanny)
Shit, did I grow up in 2 days because my BB broke? Wow, people, spread the word, YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY GROW UP AND HAVE A NICE DAY IF YOU AREN”T ALWAYS ON YOUR BLACKBERRY’s
(but my new one comes on saturday via insurance…). Not going to insert my pin # here….
