i sold my soul to verizon.

I have taken a huge leap into adulthood.

Wait for it. Slowly. Quietly. Okay, so the subject title is a dead give-away, but today I sold my soul to Verizon. I'm still not sure if this was the best thing to do, nor am I not sure that I won't be going through buyers remorse.

Until this point my mother has been paying my T-Mobile cell phone bill. Because the phone is in her name, and the bill gets sent to her. I know. Spoiled.

It was definitely one of those things where I was supposed to send her a monthly check - but seeing as I'm incapable of mailing jackshit, it rarely happened.

When I was visiting at the end of August, she got it into her head thinking about switching to Verizon. And earlier this summer when I had, like, a week of reception, I became spoiled. So then I'm of course thinking about how now, I'm going to have to start paying my own bill. So I looked up and found out that I have a staff discount, and then my mom of course started wavering.

I bit the bullet though and switched. In part because I really need reception, and it's time I become an adult, and because with this final, bloody crawl to the finish line of my grad school and job, I'm going to need constant contact and support from CBF. Waiting until 9 can sometimes be a pain in the ass. Especially when one of us passes the fuck out from fatigue sometimes at like 8.

I'm still not sure how I feel about this, or if I can even afford it, but I think it is for the best. Granted I wanted to switch to Cingular, but CBF just renewed his plan, and seriously, other than a few key people in my life, everyone and their fucking mother has Verizon. It's going to be totally weird trying to keep track of minutes!
