Just as a fair warning so that he doesn't claim another victim...
Lynx is a pusher and his drug of choice would be Android. Unfortunately, I must reluctantly admit that have fallen prey to his coaxing.
I suppose it's time that I introduce everyone to my new boyfriend (and no, it's not Lynx, which I'm sure he is relieved to hear.
)
Though I finally caved in to getting a smart phone, I insisted that I must also have a real keyboard to go with it. Henceforth, I'd like you all to meet my new baby. <3
Here he is in covert, secret ninja mode:

Lynx has also gotten me hooked on voice texting, which has completely revolutionized most of my communications. I am trying to get all my friends to convert to this method as well, so I can feel as if I'm talking to them all day without having to be continuously glued to the phone.
However, my zeal (and slight obsession with people's voices) has led me to:
* Wake one friend up at such an unholy hour, it's a wonder he didn't slap me over the phone.
* Send so many messages at once (in a combination of both voice and text) that one person told me it would be easier to record an audio book for them to download
, and another to tell me "Time out," when I've sent so many messages at once that he can't keep up, and "Time in," once he's able to catch up.
* Endanger communications on several airline flights because of the temptation to use my keyboard (though I've now read that the use of such short-range devices is allowed--I'll have to ask an attendant next time.) You should have seen the way people were looking at me sideways when I pulled out that keyboard on the plane and set up my phone as a monitor.
And alas, once I got off the plane, I had about 50 messages in draft form but ready to send as soon as the plane landed.
* Inspired my siblings to constantly goad me with comments such as, "How's it going with your 'mini-computer'"?
Ah, yes. People can stare and laugh all they want.
But I think this is the beginning of a very long-term, fully committed relationship.
Now if only I could figure out even out half of what he's really able to do. <3
