Addictions.....

I hate admitting this, but I can relate to most of the things on Postsecret... and I am guilty of them too! This is another picture I got off their site that just made me think of myself! I am addicted to my phone, its glued to my hand 24/7. I was bad with normal sms's, but then some idiot decided to invent Mxit.... (No youre not an idiot!!! I love you I love you) At the start I was on it till early mornings, where I'd only get into bed at 1 or 2 in the morning after chatting to all my friends.... and when I had to go bath, the phone would go with, even a quick visit to the loo gets accompanied by my phone friend..... Even when I'm visiting with my REAL friends, I prefer chatting to my mxit friends, or sometimes I even chat to the friends that are actually visiting with me (like sitting in the same room) on mxit, instead of talking to them like a normal person would!? Initially I thought, like all other things this was only going to last a month or so.... but boy was I wrong... Ive had it almost 6 months now, and STILL cant get enough of it, and when the Mxit service has technical problems I want to chew my knuckles!! Why? When I had been living without it for so long and been fine? Am I crazy? Am I addicted? Do they have rehab for people like me?

Lol......thanks boeta.

Dino said...

okay don't know what mxit is but i tend not to be seen without my phone and i go nowhere (even overnight) without my labtop

Arlene said...

What is Mxit? I text allll the time, and my friends and I will send each other texts and pictures when we're together too! And yes, I even text in the bathroom :-)

Dan said...

Next time your friends get together with you they should bring their cell phones and call you on them.

There's no such thing as Mxit in my country. But I understand the addiction.

I'm addicted to reading. And I'll even take my books with me to the bathroom. Everywhere! And when there's nothing to read... *tragedy*!!!

Claudia said...

If you're having a good conversation, I see no point in stopping to go take care of business!!

Dear Sam

I want to congratulate you on a well-written post. I am glad you either used a spell-check or proofread it before posting. In any case, thank you for trying to improve your writing. Bang-up Job.


PS. don't fuck up again, I'll be watching.

SaM-GiRL said...

@ dino - Oh my gosh!! You guys dont have mxit!?! that is soooo sad. Its a service that makes you chat on your phone for almost nothing. (basically like msn on your phone)

@ arlene - hahahah, yeah, me and my friends to that too, me and one in particular (tasha - the one that bumped her head on the jacuzzi) when we go to the movies, and go to the bathroom before or afterwards, well sit in our stalls and mms eachother funny pictures!

@ dan - sadly, we have done that too. but not my friends, me and my girlfriends will be visiting somewhere in the house while the men watch tv (closest to kitchen) then we will phone on the home phone (so we know they have gotten up and are IN the kitchen and have no excuse) and ask them to bring us some drinks...teehee...girls...

@ algelic - I also like my reading, but sadly mxit has taken over that for a while, there is nothing better, than having a book that is so well written that you CANT for the life of you put it down.

@ claudia - lol. very true.....

MXIT is the South African Version of Migg33. That you guys should know. If not.. It is a Java Appelt running on your cellphone, using your GPRS connection to get onto a normal Webserver linking you to other people using the same program, allowing you to chat in Rooms or one on one. Great way to meet very Disturbed People.
Been Mxiting for 6 months now, and the friends I have there is the ones of real life, the others...
Being in the Chatting game for more that 10 years, started with MIRC, then Yahoo Mes and then Hotmail MSG... Weird community!!!!!

Donsie said...

O and Yes, very addictive, only way is to delete chat program and get a life... Difficult I know, but can be done!

SaM-GiRL said...

Very well explained Dons. thanks. I have deleted it, i just downloaded it again. lol.

Phlippy said...

Hey Sam, try working in an office when you Skype / MSN / Google Chat with the person sitting next to you - trust me, I know what you mean ;-)

SaM-GiRL said...

I do skype and msn phlippy!!! lol. Like ONE chat program isnt enough, then I still have my phone on standby for the ppl that cant chat in the chatrooms!!! heehee

ExMi said...

lordwiggly said...

AngelSphere said...

Vir iemand wat sê sy's 24/7 addicted to her phone ... of die 'phone is glued to my hand' ... moet ek sê jy't my aan die twyfel Sam...? Ek het jou die naweek al 2 keer in die hande try kry maar jou voicemail is af!?! Hoe werk daai konsep?

Maak 'seblief bietjie kontak, ek soek jou met 'n seer hart, vir Tasha ook!

Ciao
Berchelle

@ jen - I LOVE IT TOO!! I LOVE IT TOO!!

@ berchelle - dont answer strange numbers.... too many pshycos out there...and if im busy on mxit and my phone rings, i wont answer, coz then i get disconnected, and its a bitch signing in again, so it has to be a number i know. whats up?

@ molecular turtle - it really is fun.

hey Sammy ! I got a Q for you.

I was at a lounge/club in Bedford the Friday night.. think its called Frankies Banana.. anyway there where people taking pictures at the place. The person taking the photos had like a black shirt on with some orange. Look like someone from Thunda.com or something like that... I went to look on Thundas website, but could not find any club with that name... :(
Any ideas of who the could be?
Thanx.

JHB Rocks :)
