1, 2, Skip a Few, 99, One Hundred!

So...
I'm sitting on 99 blog views for "Unremarkable Thoughts"... 99... such a powerful number, as everyone waits with baited breath for that magical number...
...
...
...
One hundred!

Makes me think (rather fondly) of that great song, "99 Red Balloons". What a classic, one of the 80's Greats!
Tight black leather pants.
Denim overload.
Men with teased perms.
Cheesy keyboard synths.
Blue eye-shadow.
...And Ninety-Nine red balloons go by...

C'mon.... let's take it to 100!

Memory Lane: Nasty Nokia's

When I was teenager, and I had a second-hand nokia....

Our service provider had this Pay-As-You-Go special, where the first 15 text messages every month were free... for a teenager, that was such a treat, and yet simply not enough.

I remember the feeling I used to get when my phone bleeped (that nasty old Nokia bleep that can never be forgotten), signalling that I had a message...

Excitement!
Someone is thinking of me!
Of me!!
Who could it be?
What are they thinking?!
Of me?!

You know the funny thing?

My phone has changed.
The bleep has changed to a far less nasty chirp.
My texts are no longer free.

But that feeling? The excitement...?

...Is exactly the same. :-)

Everyone loves to feel 'thought of'. Don't you?
