T.I. put it very elegantly but I think he may have had something different in mind then what’s going on in my world right now.
I obtained a girls number (through surprisingly little trickery) on Saturday night and adhering to the two day rule, have waited until today to call her and invite her to join me in a meal.
During these two days, I always look at arbitrary events in my life as telltale signs of how the phone call is going to go.
If I get stuck trying to turn right at a red light behind a car going straight, the universe is telling me “Dude, don’t even call.”
If I successfully throw my Wendy’s wrapper into a trashcan across the room then there’s no way she’s not calling back.
You get the drift?
Two things happened in those two days that I’m not sure how to read. So since you’re the one reading this post, I figured I’d let you read the signs as well:
1. My friend’s car broke down (severe battery drain) after using it as a stereo for tailgating purposes before the UNC vs. ECU football game. He had to be at work in Charlotte today so I let him have my car for two weeks (when I next see him).
Yes, we tried jumping it. No, it didn’t work.
2. My phone echoes for whomever I’m talking to (I hear nothing). It horribly irritates everyone on the phone with me. Since I don’t hear an echo and like to hear the sound of my own voice anyway and can’t understand their complaint, it’s taken me 6 months to address the issue.
Because I was supposed to call this girl today however (and my mom yells at me to fix it every time I talk to her), I decided to suck it up and go to AT&T this afternoon and get it fixed.
Take a second here and analyze these two events. Seems to me like I should have some pretty good karma going into the call.
………………………….
Did you take a second?
………………………….
Really?
………………………….
Good.
AT&T gave me a new SIM card in hopes that it will fix the echoing problem. So I came home, inserted the new SIM card, and hooked up miPhone to my computer to activate it.
No, I didn’t lose all my contacts though I like where your head’s at. I had the same thought and copied down her number before syncing to avoid just that travesty.
Instead, I’m sitting here staring at an AT&T Account Information page demanding that I insert the last four digits of the social security number of the primary account holder.
I am not the primary account holder. My family is on a family plan. My mom is the primary account holder. I do not know her SSN.
In order to get that information, I need to call my mom and ask her.
I cannot do that because my phone has been re-set.
All of my roommates are gone so I can’t borrow one of their phones.
I cannot go anywhere to find a phone because my car is in Charlotte with my friend.
So I turn to you readers and ask you this…
Does the universe want me to call this girl?

I’m thinking the same thing.
