I had a dream a few nights ago that one of my friends, who is in the Navy, told us that he was shipping out, and we were all sad he was leaving. Of course, this was a silly dream, because he's not in the Navy in the way where he would get on a ship and sail away. I think he works at the Naval hospital in Bethesda. But then, the next day, he told us he was moving! And we were all sad. Crazy, huh? I totally predicted the future with my dream, only my dream made it more interesting. How clever my subconscious is. Now I would like to make my skills predict my future. See previous blog entry for why.
In other news, I am officially a cell phone addict. I never thought it could happen to me, but it has. I inadvertently left my phone at home today, and I think I'm going crazy. I cannot function without the option of calling someone! I railed against cell phone junkies for years, but now I can't say anything. I'll have to start mocking people who rely too much on text messaging. I have so far resisted that siren song.

so what's your number? I will text you sometime :)
Just think what you can do with a cel phone AND the ability to see the future!
Texting is the only way to go.
I can honestly say i never had a cell phone until I was issued one and still have never got my own. Its like purchasing your own leash. And texting? My thumbs were not meant to operate a itsy bitsy keebler elf key pad. I struggle enough with the full size type.
