So I love that people call my cellphone, I ignore it, and then text back "what's up?" and then they tell me briefly what they wanted instead of the whole "whatcha doing? How's everything? Blah blah smalltalk thing."
You just described everything I hate about cell phones. You can't talk to anyone anymore. All the stuff I want to say would only take 3 seconds... Pick up the phone!!

Likewise. I kind of need it for work but it's not imperative. Really though, I hate the damn thing.

On a side note, I was able to weather the storm of furious texts. Will be sure to avoid Facebook in the future.

if I knew that about you I would just pick up the phone. But for people that i know drag shit out I'm gonna text you "what did you need?" and get the short version.

Also, I forgot to mention regarding the bill: I use Virgin Mobile pay-as-you go. I pay $25/mo for hundreds more minutes than I'd ever use, along with unlimited text and unlimited data.

now that's just silly.
I don't know dude - i'm pretty damn happy and I don't think i'm missing out on anything save: a large bill, a massive time-suck on the latest apps I didn't know I needed before they existed, my mom/wife/girlfriend asking me "Why didn't you answer your cell phone?" all the time, and the cancer...don't forget the cancer.
I actually use the free phone verizon gave out with the plan. No apps, none of that new-fangled crap. Text messaging is expensive, and I don't like to do it anyway, I'd really rather just see folks in person. I never use my phone for online stuff. It has a camera I only used to setup pictures of my girlfriend as a background.

Best phone I ever had didn't have any of that crap either, but it did have a built-in LED flashlight. I loved that thing, it was so useful.

I just have a prepaid phone. I put on $20 a month and if I run out, I run out. Boo fucking woo. At least then people can contact me if they really need to in an emergency.
The phone it self only cost $60 and it has a camera and free Facebook. I know you were all just bitching about Facebook... but I love it :D

Ticked: Keyboard buttons are not heat resistant...

Took my keyboard apart to give it a good scrub. Tried to dry the buttons with my hairdryer...

Buttons warped like Hell almost instantly...

After 30 seconds my spacebar looked like this:

Big Smile: I think I did really well today with my "pre-employment test" for Farmers Insurance, passed all the tests including the crazy call center simulation (this is all new to me). I was the only guy there that wore jeans though... yikes? Haha, I mean I got a haircut yesterday, wore a nice button up shirt... hope that was enough. Haha. And well I should be getting a call within the next day or so about scheduling an interview with an recruiter. Hope it works out!

Another smile: The trainee receptionist was HOT.

Ticked: I'm damn tired, all I did was applications and bill paperwork yesterday. Think I'll take it easy after that test today and relax.
