The Adnostic

My parents agreed to buy me a Nokia 7610 for my birthday, but in order to do so I had to officially switch from AT&T to Cingular and order my phone directly from Nokia which will hopefully be delivered before I leave for BlogHer.

In the mean time, I am cell phone-less. The only way my friends can contact me is via e-mail and AIM. Sorry if I haven't returned someone's call or been slow to respond to a text message. I'll be back to full connectivity soon.

I promise.

I hope.

I pray.

I pray a lot.

I haven't prayed this hard in a long time. Please Lord; please have FedEx deliver my lovely new phone before the end of Thursday's working day.

Should I bargain? Lord, if you deliver my phone before the end of the day on Thursday, I'll subscribe to KCRW. I'll stop telling homeless people on my porch to fuck off, even if they started it. I'll take pretty pictures of your wonders and post them to my blog - sunsets, Millbrook and Katanga, flowers, and girls who violate the international regulations on wearing ultra-low rise jeans in public.

Could I get anymore desperate?!

My prayers have been answered. I'm really going to miss being able to swear at homeless people.

Adendum (7/28/05):

I should have been more specific. I prayed for my phone to be delivered, but I failed to aslo request that the phone's SIM card be functional with my original phone number.

So I am still disconnected, but I'm going to try and get this resolved after work tonight.
