Tracing

"And if you want to know the moment I knew that I was still alone, I found I'd never learned your number I only stored it in my phone. You'd think by now I'd know the shape of calling home."

How many of us rely on our mobile phones to remember all the important details? Birthdays, addresses, sometimes even names when alcohol is involved.

Once upon a time I knew all my best friends phone numbers by heart, now I can remember my mothers and one of my friends, but that's only because of the shape her number makes when you type it in, it becomes a square, how charming.

I often wonder if our lives would all be fuller without the ability to communicate so easily. Being flaky wasn't an option 10 years ago, or rather, being flaky twice wasn't an option.

Texting is so overrated. I would much rather pick up the phone and have a ten minute conversation than a 6 hour text-athon. It's just boring, I don't understand why other people my age can't see that? Hearing a voice makes everything that little bit more real to me than black and white monotone text.

This appears to have become a bit of a rant so I shall sign off here.
