Here's how I operate. When I see something I like, 20 years later, I ask her brother for her phone number. She don't even see me coming.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sometimes I just walk through; I just show up, as in The Other Sister.
It's really annoying when you're trying to get to know someone and she doesn't pay attention to you because she's obsessed with her phone.
My sister is a very peculiar lady. When we were young, I wasn't allowed to talk to her friends. Now I'm not allowed to talk to her children, nor are they permitted to see me. This is the nature of the lady. Doesn't bother me at all.
I kinda like to scare my sister, and usually she gets really mad at me for doing that.
Seven years after my mother's passing, I still reach for the phone for a split second to call her. We spoke every day.
You know, my brother won't walk out of a restaurant with me anymore because he doesn't want to be linked to me as my new 'mystery man.' Same with my close guy friends.
Here's the problem: I don't like who I've become when my iPhone is within reach. I find myself checking e-mails and responding to texts throughout the day with some kind of Pavlovian ferocity - it's not a conscious act, but a reflexive one.
When a girl finally texts me back, that ding on the phone is like an angel singing.
I've never had a message for anyone in my entire life. Except maybe to give out my room number.
I am on the phone with my sisters every day.
