MIA

I hate Motorola.

The battery on the phone I got last year is maybe three days. If I'm lucky, I can squeeze 2 hours of actual talk time out of it. In the last week, the charger has stopped working completely, and I haven't gotten around to getting a new one. Since I've gotten into the habit of leaving it off to conserve what little power is left for emergencies, my fam has apparently been getting annoyed that I haven't been calling.

I thought I'd mess with my brother's head when he IM'd me about it earlier.

NIGHT987: call tammy back at some point
Mooshoo16: I can't.
NIGHT987: oh
Mooshoo16: Tell Tammy she needs to keep her cell phone on
NIGHT987: fat chance of that
NIGHT987: happening
NIGHT987: i've tried
Mooshoo16: So you're going to be an uncle again
NIGHT987: wha?
Mooshoo16: Hannah and I are holding off on telling mom and dad
Mooshoo16: Because I'm pretty sure they're going to kill me
Mooshoo16: Keep that to yourself

thirty second pause

NIGHT987: okay
NIGHT987: tin
NIGHT987: what's happening
Mooshoo16: 97% is not 100%

fifteen second pause

Mooshoo16: Just kidding
NIGHT987: you FUCKING asshole
Mooshoo16: I actually haven't been calling just because my phone really is dead
Mooshoo16: Ha ha ha ha
Mooshoo16: Sorry, couldn't resist
NIGHT987: i'm going to kill you
NIGHT987: no seriously
NIGHT987: expect mailbomb
NIGHT987: or anthrax
Mooshoo16: George Bush is watching you
NIGHT987: yes, and he won't mind if i wipe you out
Mooshoo16: Fat chance, I'm not a New England hippy liberal
NIGHT987: i'm not sure where this hippy title came from
NIGHT987: anyway
NIGHT987: i'm going to go study now you punk
Mooshoo16: You used to have long hair
NIGHT987: and now it's japanese spiked
Mooshoo16: And I'm assuming at some point in New Haven you smoked pot
Mooshoo16: Ergo, hippy
NIGHT987: and don't do that again buttfuck
Mooshoo16: No promises

I don't think he was as amused as I was.
