Evil Toilet

So, I must not have very good luck with "technology". While on our vacation to California in August, I lost my new 30 GB ipod. I was running across the street with my backpack on and when we got down to the beach I noticed my ipod was not in the backpack, where I had put it. So I thought "I must not have put the ipod in the backpack, it's probably in the car." So, after a long day at the beach we got up to the car and to my disappointment, no ipod. We searched and searched (well, Steven did :o) and...nothing.
So then today I was getting ready for school and I had my phone and the bathroom counter because Steven usually calls when I'm getting ready in the morning so I had it there ready for his call. Anyway, I moved some of my hair products and heard a "plop!" and it was one of those times where I knew what had happened but was just praying that when I looked in the toilet, my phone would NOT be there. However, it was, just sitting there at the bottom of the bowl.
It was clean water...so I reached in, grabbed it out and immediately started drying it but, once again to my disappointment, the phone would not turn on. It would just vibrate, whether the phone was on or off. AND I had only had this brand new phone for about...2 weeks.
So, on my way to the alltel store today I thought I'd try turning it on again, just for kicks and it worked! The screen is a little dark but thank goodness it works!

Sick! I can't believe you stuck your hand in there! JK--I think it's funny. Well, maybe not for you, at least it works now. I had an issue with our toilet in our apartment--it started to overflow and I had to take off the lid and hold something so it would stop running, but if I let go it would run again. So I had to hold it for like an hour till David got home. Your story reminded me of that fun experience.

Oh my poor seester! I am sorry these horrible things happened to you but they brought a smile to my face! Just sing "I love technology" like Kip on Napoleon Dynamite. That will make you smile!
