Thrill of the flashing red light

She sat and glared at it...
The pink rectangle...
Anticipating...Anticipating....
She turned it over...
Stop looking at it...
Give it ten minutes.....
Turn it back over...
Still no red light...
Dang it...

She took it in another room....
Now
LEAVE THE ROOM!
Go to the bathroom...
Get a Diet Coke...
Watch a little Lifetime...
Wait twenty minutes...
Stop thinking about it..

She goes back to the room..
YES!!!
Red light is flashing...
Could it be??
Types the password..
Whirls the trackball..
To the right..
Sees the name...
YES!!!
Sees the arrows ..
in the corner..
YES!!
another name..
has just appeared..

She is obsessed....
with texting..
on her..
BLACKBERRY

    This is just silly. But I was sitting here waiting on a response from a friend and this came to me. I spend a lot of my day looking for the light on my phone to be flashing, because I keep it on silent most of the time. I get such a thrill when I see that redlight flashing. Wondering who has sent me a msg. anticpating the msg. CRAZY as it is. I think I might need to go to texting anonymous :)

  2. LOL ...sometimes I drive people who are silent the whole ride...almost uncomfortably silent as I take the to their destination and try to conjure up a conversation to no avail...but see them in my rear view constantly staring at there phone from a reply or message...the times are a changing. ;)

  3. lol! This was fun, Cindy! I don't have a blackberrry (or even a cell phone), but I can imagine it would be easy to become addicted to the back/forth.
