I really miss my E65!
The poor thing ended up in a river after being entrusted to a certain deb partner.
I somehow ended up on eBay after getting to a satisfactory point in my essay
I think it was after looking at something on Hunch
And looked at E65s, N73s, V600s and even a 6220.
Now, I feel the need to tell the story of these devices...for whatever reason.

The 6220 came first, in about 2006 after 2 years in Dad's possession
It was without a doubt the most reliable phone I have ever owned.
As for it's predecessors, the 3210 had button issues and the 3330 would switch itself off.
One day, it decided it no longer wanted to accept any SIM cards.
It still charges, turns on, and ... well, that's about it.
But it would work perfectly if not for the small matter of snobbing all operators.
Next was the V600, in February 2007
Which I thought was a good idea at the time.
It flipped, and had Bluetooth
And therefore was cooler than the 6220.
It had been in Vickie's possession for almost three years
So was as old as the 6220 and much more worn.
Still, I survived with it until July 07 when I got the E65
Red, all shiny and new
The first and only new phone I've ever had.
I loved it to pieces
For about two weeks.
I realised soon that I instead wanted the N73
An older but more photographically capable model
And continued to hate on my E65 whilst it got more and more broken.
But after being fixed twice it stopped rejecting my SIM card
And clearly, a year or more after losing it, I find myself missing it
So it must have done something right.
A black V620 popped up somewhere around then, while the E65 was in surgery.
It didn't charge, so I needed the V600 - which Xanthe had at the time
To charge batteries for me
This was around the end of school in 2008
And Alix's Mum Robyn was kind enough to give me her old V3x
Which I kept for awhile, until (I think)
I got an N73
Finally, 18 months after deciding I wanted one
I had it.
I think at this point I had the E65 back
But it took a back seat as the new toy came with me to Brisbane
And took some really nice pictures, too.
Sometime in March of 09 I left the N73 at a parents friends house
The E65 must have been with Lauren by then, because I found myself back with the V620.
I snagged a lonely 6210 Navigator from work
Which I had for awhile before eventually getting the N73 back.
After awhile I bought the store demo Navigator.
At some point I got a Virgin SIM card
So as to be able to text Vickie for free
And this resided in the N73 for awhile
Then the V620
Then an S700, also work-sourced, not available in Australia.
The latter was eventually stolen from my car
And the Virgin SIM was in an "I-turn-off-every-ten-minutes" 6131
And later an N95 8GB, again, from work.
The N73 went to Shannon who later lost it
So I continued with the N95i and the Navigator
Until October when I bought the demo N97.
Probably the most annoying phone I've ever owned,
The N97 sits beside me on this desk today
As it shall until I get an iPhone.
The N95i is now with Zach
And I managed to get the lonely Navigator from work to give to Xanthe
Who's U700 was having issues...as they do.
The V600 and V620 also sit on my desk, but unused, and with each other for company.
The V3x is now with Stacey's parents, as it replaced Emily's archaic 5110.
The 3210 is still in Zach's room, and the 3330 was bought by Robin some years ago
And ended up going through the wash.


Most of all I miss the E65.
It was slim. It was fancy.
It had Wi-Fi and conference calling.
It slid solidly with such a reassuring 'click'
Much to the amusement of a certain Zaakary.
It provided me with hours of MSN entertainment
In the days before I could afford mobile data.
It showed me that MP3 ringtones were awesome
Unlike the V600 which took so long to load the tone that I'd answered the call already
And it let me do cool things like Bluetooth my English essays to Miss Hall's laptop. 
Yeah, it's tragic.
But I miss the damn thing.
Thanks, for the trip
down
memory
lane.

Noise

I try to sing it out

Make myself believe it

But my voice falters

And the tears that fall

Betray my confidence.

The strength I thought I had

Is 

still 

being 

built.

Onetwo.

I wondered where this went.

I thought I posted it weeks ago

But apparently I did not.

Another day

Another dollar

Such a strain

To make ends meet

To keep afloat

To smile and nod


It goes like this

Day in


Day out

Something old


Something new


Something tried

Something true


There comes a day


We find our feet


But until then

It goes again


Another
day


Another
dollar.

Sprung.

Fuck you..

It hurts.

Toodleoo

Oh

One more thing

I've changed my mind.
I'm happy.

I like it.

Finally.

Thankyou.

Okay,
So I've been ridiculously lazy with this blog
And thus, time for an update.
I have no idea where to begin.


See, the thing is
I take a picture to upload every day
So most of what happens is already there.
BUT.
I had a pretty important weekend
So I'll just detail that a little more, perhaps.

Okay. So turns out I'm too lazy for detail.
Besides, people will read this, if I actually write what I want to.


It was fun. Definitely.
Probably the best weekend I've had in a long while.
Met some lovely new people
And caught up with some old favourites.

And the car,
He was awesome.
Such a trooper.
Didn't miss a beat the whole way
Despite 1915km in one weekend
And four seasons in one day.


I felt weird when I got home.
Even yesterday.
Today, to some extent.
But that's how it goes.

It was awesome..
Just, now
It seems
I'm a lovesick
crack
head.
