Though I can&#8217;t help but think I didn&#8217;t need it &#8212; yet my parents claim I do.<\/p>\n<p>Why do I feel this? I&#8217;m not an &#8216;on the go&#8217; person. What convinced me, yet the wrong way, was what happened last night. I try to contact ProgramFiles to speak to him through Steam. Said he was on his iPod Touch.<br \/>\nI wonder if I could use a cell phone as a second computer after that, just incase my computer is at the shop, or if I&#8217;m banned, as a 2nd account like Fishy.<br \/>\nI should had gotten an iPod Touch instead&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>But when I went up there, I got nervous. Yet I still am. I&#8217;m scared that this phone is going to change my life. Make me wanna start texting, and browsing the web through it, putting a hell of a bill in my checking account.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m afraid I&#8217;m going to get into something I may not even need, and it&#8217;ll be too late to get out of it. Such as signing up for &#8216;free&#8217; ringtones and ending up paying out the ass for them, and having to send a text to stop it before I overdraft.<\/p>\n<p>Still, this phone isn&#8217;t perfect. What pisses me off is I didn&#8217;t get a fucking USB cable that I could upload ringtones, wallpapers, and other shit from my computer. I spent $60 on this phone and they couldn&#8217;t give me a god damn USB cable! D:<br \/>\nI&#8217;m going to have to go to Amazon.com and buy one.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing that ticks me off is Voicemail. I was expecting to go into my phone and be able to listen for any messages that I&#8217;ve missed when my phone is off. Instead I have to hit *86, then enter my password, then wait for it to play any voicemail left over.<\/p>\n<p>Still, I still ask myself, why did I get this thing? My parents have a cell phone. If the power went out in the house, we could use that. Is it because my mother refuses to learn how to use their cell phone?<\/p>\n<p>A cell phone in my hands just doesn&#8217;t feel right. I don&#8217;t have a job.. hell, I rarely leave this house, so why do I need to remain in contact with anyone? I guess I&#8217;ll just use it for small things. As I said, of taking my computer up to the shop, going to the dentist or doctor and calling to need a ride back home.<br \/>\nNot to mention, Fishy and Angry can call me whenever they want too.<\/p>\n<p>Since it&#8217;s mine, I&#8217;m going to make it mine. As soon as I get my hands on a USB cable, I found a place with Dragon wallpaper for cell phones. \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nYet I still can&#8217;t help but think that getting a cell phone that I can customize was one of the worst things I&#8217;ve done in my life.<br \/>\nLooking around on these &#8220;free&#8221; sites for ringtones, there&#8217;s a chance I could get a virus in my computer.<\/p>\n<p>The reason I feel this is I just can&#8217;t leave well enough alone. I won&#8217;t just settle with what I have, and know the real &#8220;reason&#8221; I got this phone. We rarely get calls on our normal landline phone, and I have very little in friends\/people to call.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I finally got myself a cell phone.
