Diaries, nicknames, and cell phones.

Ok, to whomever wrote the LOTR Diaries ... I love you!  I haven't 
laughed that hard since ... I don't know when!  That was truly 
great!  I watched LOTR for the first time last night and then I read 
the diaries this morning.  SO funny.  Did I mention how funny that 
was???

When I was still just a fetus, my mom decided she wanted to name me 
Shelley.  My (biological) dad wouldn't here of it.  So she decided I 
would be named Michelle, so she could call me Shelley anyway.  
Personally, I think she was on drugs, but hey, she still calls me 
Shelley, except when I use profanity in front of her, then she calls 
me Michelle :)

Cell phones.  I love my phone.  If I didn't have my phone, well, I 
would live.  It is quite the convinience.  I have never 
really "needed" it, but that's why I orginally got one ... 52 mile 
drive, one-way, to work everyday on a road no one ever uses.   Of 
course it turned out that my service wouldn't work on that road, so I 
didn't need to get it anyway, but now, since I moved, it works 
everywhere ... except on the corner of Apalachee Parkway and Capital 
Circle SE.  Hmmm.  THey need to fix that.  But seriously, as an 
emergency responder, I frown upon using a cell phone in a car ... 
unless you have a handsfree device.  I've been to an awful lot of car 
wrecks that were caused by the hand attached to phone attached to ear 
syndrome.  Those are the people that use the endearing line "They 
just came out of no where!"

Michelle :) <---who has a very cool 'Body Glove' headset thing for 
her phone ... safe and stylish! :)  And an added bonus is ... it 
works on her home phone, so she can cruise about the house doing 
dishes, or typing on the computer while on the phone! :)
