Repeating myself repeating myself.

Two days ago I broke my third blackberry. I was wandering up the stairs, as you do, with my little Storm II in my pocket when it slipped out and down half a set of stairs and crashed onto the hard wooden floor below. Surprisingly, this didn't make me grumpy, though I put that down to me being previously grumpy about a previous subject matter.Whatever. Point is I currently have no phone. Which is driving me nuts in a variety of different ways. I can't listen to my music on the train, I can't update my facebook status every 5 minutes, I can't take picture of unimportant things and upload them to facebook, I can't prank call.... The main thing that is irritating me most about not having a phone, is telling people I don't have a phone.

I posted on facebook, when I broke my phone, that I probably wouldn't have a phone for the next few days, possibly a week, apparently foolishly thinking that people will read it.  I guess not, because I still have people asking me "Oh hey, did you get my text?"..
No, I didn't
"Why"
My phone is broken.
"Why"
It fell down the stairs.
"Why?"
.....

And then most of the time, turns out the text simply said "Hello, how are you?" Which is another thing I hate. Dude, I just saw you, you know how I am. A lot of my IRL friend will verify the fact that I mostly ignore texts and BBM. I don't do so well with 'chit chat' on phones. I find it pointless and time wasting. I'd rather have an actual conversation.

Another thing I seem to find myself repeating is 'No, I don't sell my Deadmau5 paintings'. Which NEVER sinks in. I love that people want to buy it, I love that people like it and I appreciate it. But for the love of my sanity can people not read? I've lost count of how many times and how many places I've said this online. And then, a lot of the time those people get grumpy with me because I wont sell something that I own. What the actual fuck? You complaining about my not selling it to you, will not make me want to sell it to you. I usually just send them a link to my video showing how to 'do it yourself' and hope that stops them. That painting is a curse just as much as it is a blessing.
