[In which there is consumerism]

What's your cell phone's ringtone? What made you pick it?

(I can't believe I'm even answering this QotD. I must be overwhelmed by boredom.)

I just downloaded ringtones for the Very First Time last month-ish, so now my primary ringtone is "Woke Up This Morning" by A3, the theme to "The Sopranos". I picked it because... it's awesome. The song is awesome, the show is awesome, and when my phone rings, I am awesome.

I also downloaded "If You Were Gay" from Avenue Q, mostly because I was so darned surprised that they -had- it. I have yet to use it much, however. Possibly because I am chickenshit.

None of this matters today, though, because I forgot my phone at home. I do this about once a week when I leave it charging overnight. Isn't it weird, though, that we even have that concept? "I forgot my phone at home." I was big on resisting cell phones for a long time. I had one that my parents paid for, but it really was emergencies only. I was just a land-line girl, because I needed it for Internet, and damned if I was going to pay for two phones. Then I moved back to Seattle and I actually -needed- a cell phone because of my living situation, and now I have it with me all the time as I text madly.

Except today. Because I forgot it at home. Today I have only the Internet to keep me connected.
