new cell phone

This is a weird but true story. I have been postponing changing my cell phone, which was dying for a long time. You couldn't see the middle of the screen anymore. It was terrible. So I got a great offer on the mail on a new phone, etc. Plus I wanted to get into a cheaper family plan. So we went to get it, but when we got there - no one had mentioned that I was going to LOOSE my current NUMBER!!!!!! It was pretty sad.

After I did it I felt like there was going to be an earthquake or something. I hadn't realized how attached I was to my cell number. It was like I was losing something unique or independent of myself; or like I was leaving a boyfriend or something. Just weird. I even felt nervous because of "the change". Later I was making fun of myself for being attached to a number, but if you think about it - it was an identity number, one of the million number codes we have that represent ourselves! I guess what IS weird is that we have numbers, codes, passwords that represent US!! What a WEIRD PLACE we live in.
