101 reasons not to have an iPhone

I know that the iPhone has been out in Australia for a little while, and it's got an aurora-esque hype built around it simply because it's an Apple product. Well, I looove Apple computers and such because they kick ass compared to PCs (mainly in the won't-kamikaze-for-no-reason category) but bringing out this new, pointless phone crosses the line into "unneccesary product excitement".

Have you noticed how caveman the iPhone is in comparison to other recent phones? The iPhone is advertised as being an iPod, a phone, and an internet communications device, ALL IN ONE. That's right, an internet communications device. Not only is that a fancy way of saying "it has GPRS, just like every other mobile", but it plugs it as an iPod too - a word that doesn't even exist. There's no such thing as an iPod! It's just an mp3 player that happens to have the marketed Apple logo branded on the back of it like cattle in a barnyard! There is no justification as to why the iPod excels over other mp3 players. So what, it stores songs. It doesn't even store the most amount of songs from any mp3 player (you know, like a memory-card-changeable mp3?). When you get an iPod or an iPhone, your allotted usage is fixed for life.

Still on the basis of the iPhone not doing things pretty much every other phone can, the iPhone can't perform the simplest task but covers up for it by acquiring something else. For example, the iPhone can't send MMS messages, but never fear! It still has a touch screen (oh great, some smudgy piece of thumbprint town)! I don't get the hype about touch screens. It's just gonna get destroyed within a day anyway.

Here's another list of things the iPhone continues to fail in: smaller resolution than other phones; can't record video; can't customize ringtones; no third-party applications allowed; can't voice dial; can't record audio; can't instant message; and it can't even be recharged when the battery completely dies, instead, Apple gets to take care of that for you by you sending your iPhone to them for fixing. How useless.

To top it off, you get all these arbitrary, highly common functions in a compacted Apple product for 5 times the price of a phone that could do all this itself. I bet if the iPhone was human, it'd be pompous and pretentious.

Don't get an iPhone. I know I won't.

Maybe it's not just a phrase...

The epically bad luck day: Friday the 13th. My mum fell UP (yes, up) the stairs and shattered some bone on her kneecap. She'll be on crutches for a while. The spooky part is that on the February Friday the 13th in 2004 (that's how I remember) she fell up the stairs and stuffed her arm up; it was in a cast for a while. Want it tog et SPOOKIER?! Both 13ths in question here, there were injections at school. In the wise, wise words of Jo Leddy, "I think your mum should stay bedbound on Friday the 13ths."

She also said that it dates back religiously - Jesus dying on a Friday, and that there were 13 people a his death/resurrection (I forget which one).

Anyway, today is a Monday, and although I have no plans for the whole day, I'm STILL too lazy to write about SYG, even though it was a tremendously fun experience. I will, however, show you what awards I got afterwards at the Soggies:
*The best gloves - and not giving people ideas
*Most philosophical and best quote - "I've been coming here 3 years and I've never seen those hills before"
*Best as doing the Nutbush whilst walking
*Most random person (Josh Clover).

That first one, I seriously have no idea who could've wrote that. I think someone was bugging me about what to write on the encouragement wall and I had no idea. That quote, was quite possibly the first thing I said to Sarah Keel all camp, and it's pretty dumb of me considering there are pretty much hills in every direction you look. Zoe and I were doing the Nutbush outside the radio station cos that song was on, then tried doing it as we walked back to Frankstonland, and my Frankston lanyard quite clearly says "John Glover" but the guy at Sacred Space thought it said Josh Clover. Admittedly, not a terribly bad name, considering I'm Irish and all...

Random anecdote. I've started saying "bueno" when I answer my phone now. Mother called me on Friday and after I said bueno, nothing happened. *Pause* "I said, 'bueno'?" "Oh! I thought you said hang on."
HAH. What a story without a plot that was.

Peace out, baby.

I WILL BE SKINNAY!!

Hah, I love it.

Anyway, we moved out and our new house is coolio. The computer is right next to the TV though! Grar!

I finally got credit again! On Saturday! Already I've used 295 of my free minutes hahah.

Emily dumped me on easter monday. DURING the movie. Ice Age 2. Geez, talk about class, or lack thereof.

Turns out my problem with myspace was that I had the wrong password, so I did the 'Forget Your Password' dealy and got my password back. Unfortuneately, that wouldn't work either, but I deleted the cookies so it works again. Hooray!

Hah, I just have to say this. Go into Karingal Hub some time during the day or preferrably afternoon. Go to Pets Paradise and look at the bench just outside. I GUARANTEE you will see an old wrinkly lady... which facial hair. I'm serious, she has an extremely bushy moustache. It scares me, I feel like throwing up. (I don't think her moustache is scientifically possible.)

Oh man, I love the song Stupid Girls by Pink. I hate Pink, but seriously look up the lyrics, it describe teenyboppers so well!

Woo and Yay

Heh, I have a long list, but I reckon I'll forget something.

A few days ago, I upgraded from my crappy Motorola C115 to a Nokia 6610! Yay! I love it! I've been playing Bounce heaps, lol. Blah

I'm also swtiching from that horrid, horrid Telstra to Optus. YES FINERRLEE it'll be great. Free minutes; I'm loving it.

A few days ago, me, dad, and three people from Chisholm went to 4 differnt Chisholm campuses and took videos and stuff for some movie. We went to Berwick, then Dandenong, Frankston, and finally Rosebud. It was funnery.

HAH! This morning I dyed my hair! It's partially orange! I luff it. While I'm writing this I don't actually think it's fully dried off, so I dunno sneh.

THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES ARE SOOO GHEY. Hurry up and leave Actually I thik they might've already. Have they? Sneh indeed.

The american, Marshall, is still here. I think he was supposed to leave on Wednesday, lol =P He wants to live here. Hmm.

I'm going to Bronwyn's birthday party tonight. Pool, late-ish, people from drama (I hope) it'll be funnery.

Yesterday, me, Sara and Kathryn went over to the AMF, to BOWL derr. We tried to be really slow, and you know those computers between every two lanes? Hah well we kept changing each others names for funsies. Also, Dean and his brothers + dad were there, and we noticed him but we hope he didn't notice us. Lol

This morning Ben came around to show off his NEW CAR which I hate him for, coz it rocks. We went driving around, adn we went to Karingal Hub and got maccas for brekkie lol

When push comes to shove, you gotta do what you love.

May Flowers, And Innarnet!

It's May! And the net is back! W00ty! Finally! Blah blah mahuff mahuff.

Le Squint is here today, he's playing the SNES now, but it's all good. He's playing Zeldarr.

Dad heard of some thing called Firefily, kind of like Skype, but this is Melbourne-based so you can make phone calls and such it's uber cool. 5c per minute to un-local places in the state and out of state is expensive, and 18c flat-fee for local.

Atm I'm trying to tell Holly what TGS means. Here, have a look: www.homestarrunner.com/tgsmenu.html

Zoe was supposed to calle me aaaaaages ago but she never did. Meh

I hope Peta can give me that phone of hers.. it's uber cool and I want it :P Adelle offered a really crappy piece of phone to me yesterday... (although it doesn't have a cover?!)

Heh I stayed up on MSN till 1 this morning with her. He played Yahoo Pool, and apparently the Java was goin all screwy for her lol.

Anyway TAAAAAA

Last Day

Well that was sort of cool. Last day of school for the term yesterday. It was also bad hair day, shave for a cure, sausage sizzle, drinks, hair colouring and free dress. All of those were at school too. Everyone of those (cept shave for a cure) was a money contribute thingy, and for the more money we raised, the more teacher's heads we could shave of colour. Mr Dewar looks like a clownfish.

By teh way, whoamg I have a girlfriend. Zoe in 7B. She was sposed to call last night :( Oh wellers.

Speaking of phones, Kirk's uncle is coming down next week and, well, HE HAS AN OLD PHONE TO GIVE TO KIRK. Kirk says he might give it to me if it's a crap one :P Isn't that coolness.

And I was on the phone to Kirk and Emily and Elise and for a short time, Ben last night. It was coolio. Hehehhee I tried calling Peta then with Kirk and Emily so all 4 of us could talk but we couldn't get through to her :(
