I'm with you on this one.
I leave my cellphone at home mainly and use it as a ground line.
If I am going somewhere and it makes it easier that you don't loose eachother in a mall if shopping together etc. I use it.
If it is a work day, it is at home.
I absolutely hate texting, I am super fast typing etc but it feels like a conversation "never ends".
I hate the feeling of always being reachable, I need to unplug from technology.
But, I have a character that I need to be able to "unplug" from people too and do my own thing.
I never feel alone when I have one with me. If I am with too many people all the time, and they can always reach me no matter where I am or what I am doing, I feel like I miss myself and want to spend time with myself.
I like my own thoughts, I argue less lol.
Plugging myself into the douchey Matrix lifestyle of texting is too Borg for me.
I like to be left the eff alone sometimes.
It is a digital leash. I love to "forget it in the glovebox" conveniently if it irks me.
I really, really hate it. I like to be an individual too much I guess.
But whatever I guess. I don't Facebook either. And don't ask me if I do. I'm here in your face now, ask away. I'll pay the coffee.
