Seen the 'You Are Boring' article on SR...? Well apparently I must be boring then. I have a mobile phone, however unlike just about every other teenager (well, it seems like that to me) I don't carry my mobile with me 24/7, or spend money customising it. In all honesty why would I want to? Wow, I can get some stupid beeps that sound vaguely like a song onto my phone, I'd rather save a quid or whatever the price tag on them is thesedays. Why do I need a new phone case, I've got one already... just because mine is plain and doesn't have some 'cool' logo on it, it seems I must be boring.

And apparently nine out of ten people say they are addicted to their phone... What? How the hell can you be addicted to a phone? Can someone please explain this to me...? I thought you used a phone to ring people, and maybe send some text messages... how can you be addicted to phoning someone? And more to the point why would you want to be? Seems the 'coolest' phone owner is the one who wastes half their money on useless crap.

And also some people in this survey said that your phone says as much about you as the clothes you wear or music you like... Riiight... Well, just shows that joe public is so obsessed with superficial things, I'm suprised that anyone bothers to talk to people (isn't that what phones are used for?) and get to know them, maybe we should just find out what phone they have, then obviously we'll know plenty about them. Ironic really. And the clothes you wear, well, I think that's crap anyway. People who judge by clothes must be pretty stupid, they're just stereotyping.

Anyway, I've had my rant. If you have a mobile phone and buy lots of stuff for it then what are your views, and I'm not intentionally having a dig at you, I just think people seem to be becoming more stupid by the day. How the hell can a phone tell you ANYTHING about a person?!? (and don't give me the 'well it could if you read their messages' answer smart @rs*)
