adventures in a sloth-like existance

Recently there have been complaints (TRISHA!). By parties who shall remain nameless (oops too late). These parties are entirely too impatient to wait until the time is right for me to make a post. They presume that I can just keep making new posts whenever I feel like it and don't need to wait for inspiration to strike.

Obviously said parties don't know me very well because if they did they would know that I do everything slowly (hence "Syd the Sloth," NOTE: incase you were not present at the creation of this nickname, we did realize that in the movie Ice Age it is spelled "Sid" but we preferred "Syd" to avoid confusion and copyright infringement suits). Just kidding about the not knowing me Trisha :) You know I love you.

So I think I'm going to buy a cell phone. I never wanted one but since I lost my moms and my dads isn't working I sort of need one. Well not need. But I think it would be a good idea. I want to get a Fido one because they have puppies on their website (and they have the best rate, but mostly because of the puppies).

You may be thinking to yourself "Emily is scared of talking on the phone. Why does she want a phone that is with her at all hours of the day?" First of all, you are wrong, I am not scared of talking on the phone (only sometimes). Second, I didn't say I was going to give anyone my number. Third, phones are cute and I want to put stickers on mine.

Now, you may be thinking, "but Emily children are starving in the Sudan. Think how many children you could save with the $50 it costs you to get a cell phone." I must admit I thought about that too. But really... if I didn't spend this money on a cell phone I would waste it on something else like stickers or paperclips. I am not really a nice person. I'm happy to give to charity as long as it means I still have enough money to also have a cell phone with pretty stickers on it.
