i have some bad news.

all you who are sensitive to sad
stories involving electronics need
to stop reading now.

on thursday night i was at windham
mountain (more on this tomorrow)
at a mountain-side restaurant.  i
went into the bathroom with my
iphone in my shallow back pocket.

before i knew it my iphone was
in the bottom of the toilet!!!

morpheus jumped out of my
pocket and into the toilet bowl
for a swim. 

it only lasted 1.5 seconds, but it was
enough.

i immediately ran the phone out
to the table where meghan,
brianne, and maren sat.

“i dropped it in the toilet!!”
“i dropped it!!  it got completely
wet!”
“it went into the toilet!! what do
i do?!!!”

i sounded like a crazy person.

they calmed me and helped dry it
off.

we used a blow dryer and didn’t turn
it on for 24 hours.

the next day…

can you believe that apple does not
repair iphones?!!  i have to get a new
one.

thankfully i was able to down/up load
(i’m not sure which one) all my data and
contacts to my computer and all my
files will easily go onto a new phone.

one short swim and it’s all over.

so all of you out there be very
very careful with where you
carry your phones and make
sure to keep them far from
bathrooms, pools, oceans,
rain, even tall glasses of water.
don’t take any chances.

i’m so sad and
so frustrated…no one wants to
spend their birthday money on
something they technically already
own!!!

i am mourning the loss of
my twenties and iphone morpheus
all in one week!! 

my birthday fortnight has been
wonderful except for this tragic
incident.

more on that later.
