Check out Susan’s amusing post on Relationships & Devices. I’m used to hearing stories like this from alpha males who are more addicted to gadget machinery than they are to women’s lips but she admits in the first line that she is a nerdgirl.
You’ll find yourself smiling if not laughing as you read countless examples of her ‘toy’ addictions starting with the Blackberry.
she writes, “no one could keep his or her Blackberry closer than I do, not even if it turned into a helpless little pocketbook dog. My Blackberry is so omnipresent and my checking it so regular that my friends and lovers are known to say “Put that Blackberry away now!” at least a few times a week. Just like a Japanese teenager in a shopping mall, I believe that my little hand-held machine, slipped into a jacket pocket, connects me to the world and keeps me from being cruelly alone (and bored; I crave a high amount of information, brain is restless.)”
She refers to the recent Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer break-up which I had not heard about.
Get this. In the Telegraph piece, their source said: “There he was, telling her he didn’t have time for her and yet his page was filled with Twitter updates. Every few hours, sometimes minutes, he’d update with some stupid line. And in her mind, she was like ‘He has time for all this Twittering, but he can’t send me a text, an email, make a call?”
He even twittered right after receiving the call where she dumped him. Mayer’s Twitter update read: ‘This heart didn’t come with instructions.’
Is this for real? What could have she seen in this always public, nothing private boyfriend who given half a chance might have twittered about the intensity of his orgasm in the middle of love-making.
