There's only 4 spaces available. Wish me luck!
Had a surprise visit from No'kom'tha Peshikthe (My grandmother Deer). She had my mother trailing behind her with a few wrapped boxes. She handed me the family recipe book with a few extra scribbled in pages. The pages were written by my grandfather who had passed away on my birthday last year.
I opened the boxes one at a time, and realized that Grandmother had bought me this mixer, and all of these extensions. Part of what I'm standing in front of is a noodle cutter. One of the things I had mentioned to Grandma that I was going to miss this year for thanks giving, now that no one knows how to make Grandpas noodles.
She said it was going to go to my elder cousin, but he is no longer with us. She had thought about it, and decided that it is now my family tradition to carry.

By "grown-up", I mean not a phone so cheap that if I broke it (assuming this is even possible) or lose it, I'll be more worried about the numbers than the phone itself. A prepaid free piece of crap phone used for emergency/business calls only. Indeed no, I will no longer have these safety phones, so dense in plastic that you wonder if it could swim for an hour.
I am getting a smart phone. And not just any smart phone - I am getting a samsung galaxy s5.
Through Black Friday deals and a little magic, it is all so close, now. I expect tonight it will be difficult to sleep due to a much unfamiliar feeling of excitement, not unlike Christmas. I have never owned such a thing before (much less such an expensive thing), and it brightens my day to begin to slowly join the technological world. No longer will my middle schoolers outshine me with their iPhones. No longer will travelling be quite so boring!
I can't wait.
Side small rant: Holy hell shopping for a phone, a decent service provider (paying attention to both price and coverage), a phone case, and a screen protector is an absolute headache. I have learned so much about cell phones, their technology, service providers, types of cases, screen protectors (which is a whole other form of hell to figure out), and etc these last two or so weeks that I could probably get hired at a mobile store. I am happy to have finally settled on everything I want, but getting there was a real pain in the ass.

There's also an awesome app that was developed since AirG was/is so buggy and basically useless, called AirDroid. Let's you connect to your phone wirelessly to transfer pictures, music, videos, review conversations, transfer files, etc without needing to connect via usb.
I gave my Galaxy to my father and am getting the AQUOS Crystal to try it out:

I admit I am somewhat terrified of the learning curve ahead to figure out what all these phones do. I feel utterly dumb in the face of how much technology has grown since I turned 16 or so. It's a scary world. It should be fun though!
Thanks for the tips, will definitely keep in mind. I've got 280182018 things to learn no doubt.

Main thing I always used mine for was keeping up with work stuff on the go, emails, files, and navigation. Plus, texting is better because you don't have to smash the same key three times to get one letter. Using the digital keyboard might take some getting used to (I remember I could send a text from my pocket on my old Nokia), but then you can get introduced to Swype which I've always liked due to how quickly it lets you reply to messages and type stuff out. Will take some practice and a little calibration to get it fine tuned, but basically instead of pressing a key for a letter you just tap a letter then slide your thumb/finger across the screen to spell the word out as you go.
I spent 8 hours last night in a cooler. With frostbite on my hand. When I got off work, I couldn't feel my hands... and still had to drive to pick my mom up from work and then head home.
Rave:
Totally applying to work the cooler from now on because 1, I get left alone, and 2, more money! Pretty sure I will get it too since the both my managers want me back there now
Long answer? One of my roommates is a psycho who has literally scared me bad enough I've locked myself in my room, surrounded myself with the surplus of point objects I have (and a hatchet), curled up in a corner behind my bed, and waited for a couple of hours because I was worried he would break into my room at any moment and possibly kill me. And it's his house I live in.
Yeah, moving across the country and finding a place to live via craigslist has it's downsides...
(So mis-read your post as 'I wonder if they have prison in Achaea.')
I am very, very excited for it to arrive.
Do not DM on forums unless you're ok with waiting a couple months!
