Back to the cell phone thing....

I have funny superstition with my cell phone. It is actually more pathetic than funny. But nonetheless it is something that I have done since I purchased the darn thing senior year of college

I have everyone that I would ever need to call located in my cell phone and if for some reason that person is taken out of the cell phone I literally have no way of contacting them. When I first meet someone I will not automatically place them in my cell phone as a contact. I feel that they have to earn this location. If I am dating someone, this person may actually never make it into my cell phone. Even after a few dates this person may still be a number on a scrap piece of paper in my top drawer. I feel that to be placed into my cell phone this person will have to be someone that I will call like forever or until they have done something to lose their spot in my phone. I also don't want to jinx anything by placing someone in my cell phone. For some reason I feel that if they go in my phone too early, they may never call or things my not work out. Weird, I know.

But I do the complete opposite if I lose touch with someone or if someone really ticks me off. Say for example,I have not spoken to someone in quite a while and I have done everything in my power to keep in touch with this person and they never call back...Well..They will be removed from my phone. Also if someone really pisses me off...Even if they have earned their space in my phone, I feel that as ultimate punishment they will be removed from my phone. For some reason, this makes me feel so much better knowing that I will not be the one to pick up the phone and call. Last night someone told me they were going to call me and like most times they ended up totally not calling at all. I was so annoyed that I removed them from my phone! I immediately felt like an ass. THEN I told this person that I removed his number and he was totally bummed or annoyed or something. Needless to say, he is back in my phone. This can also backfire somewhat fierce if that person emails you and tells you to call them..And you CAN'T and you have make up some lame excuse that your phone numbers got mysteriously erased and you need them to give you their phone number again!
