Locked Out

I would like to tell you guys the story of me being locked out. Now I know that most of you almost immediately assume that this is about me being locked out of my house, car, or some other important structure that holds much value to me. Well, I'm sorry to disappoint but this is actually referring to my incompetence with my voice mail system on my phone. Yes I do know that it's not that hard to remember the password for my voice mail account but let me defend myself here. I don't use my phone that often. Other than the occasional text from a family member it's radio silence that radiates from the little blue device in my jean pocket. Although I quite enjoy not being constantly summoned with a vibration to signal that I got a call or text, sometimes it's comforting to know that someone does want to talk to me. Even if it's just through a little square bright screen with typed words and emoticons only showing the faintest of emotions. It's nothing like actual face to face conversation, but who are we kidding? Does anyone really communicate that way anymore? Getting back to the point, I rarely put my phone to good use and I guess that's why it's lasted for four years and it's still going strong. Or at least I believe it is. Anyways, I almost never get texts and the frequency for calls to me is even less. Every four months or so I get a voice mail, but to my great disappointment I can't listen to it. You wanna know why? I have never been able to open it. I've had it reset more than half a dozen times but until today I have not been able to remember that password for the life of me. I don't know if anybody else besides me does this but I just thought you would like to be informed of my triumph over this infuriating piece of technology. And I can proudly say that I have finally listened to my few, but still existent voice mails.
And now since you have the background I will continue to tell you about one of said voice mails from my older sister. It was last year during track season in May and I was at the state divisionals representing the long distance team of my school when my older sister showed up to support me. And on her way home she started to text me about it and said that she called and left me a very exciting voice mail and that I should really listen to it. Well, like you know from what I have previously pointed out I did not know my password and couldn't listen to it and was about to delete it because the little icon at the bottom of the screen showing you that you have an unread message when she told me that I have to keep it because it was the best message she has ever left anyone. And now I can definitely say that she was right and it was a good idea to keep it this long. It may have taken 8 months, but I listened to it and I can agree. And I just wanted to point out that some people really should try to limit their caffeine intake... With that I say goodbye until next post. Have a wonderful day!
