Phone Number 4, 5 and 6
The next three phones go all together. I received my new Blackberry Curve for free, it is now for certain that every employee at Verizon knows me by face...and almost by name. Anyways, so I lucked out by resigning a two-year contract and received the new Blackberry Curve. Of course I was so excited...but just my luck 2 weeks after using this phone I decided to download a cool new application while waiting for my laundry to dry. About two minutes later the screen turned white and said App Error. Apparently when a phone turns white and says "App Error" it means that the hard drive has crashed. Just my luck. So I frantically run back to my room and explain to my roommate the situation. She of course is laughing because go figure this would happen to me. And within the next hour I was already back at the Verizon counter pleading my case to a new found Verizon employee/friend named "Joe". They handed me a new phone in the box the very same day. This NEW phone lasted a solid three months before it experienced a toilet incident in the bathroom during Potbelly's Happy Hour. I was reaching for my phone and my hand knocked it into the toilet. I plunged my hand into the toilet and pulled out my phone. I ripped the battery out and stuck it under the hand dryer. My phone continued to work just fine for 3 more weeks until out of nowhere the screen faded to black. I was back at Verizon using my first insurance claim, and two days later my beloved UPS man delivered my phone to me. This third phone was recently stolen in Panama City. I need to get a go-phone or a conch shell.

Phone Number 3- Blackberry Curve
It was now December and it was becoming the time for Christmas parties and celebration. It was right after midterms and I was ready to celebrate. I decided to attend a fraternity "white" party. This particular time of losing my phone marked the beginning of my Mother's disappointment. But this time it was not only my phone...but my entire purse. I set my purse down for a total of five minutes to dance with my friends, and I had looked down and my purse was no where to be seen. I waited until the party was shut down and decided to crawl on the floor and search for it. It was definitely stolen. The hysterical tears began streaming down my face because I knew that this time I would not be getting off easy. I called my Mother from my roommate's phone...(by this time she knew by receiving a call from me from her number meant only one thing, yep her daughter was phone-less yet again). Anyways, almost 200 dollars later I had a new phone yet again and all my items in my purse replaced.

Phone Number 2 - Blackberry Curve
8 days after the loss of phone number one, I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of the UPS man who was delivering my next phone. I heard the knock on the door of my sorority house and ran to the door in a sprint. The UPS man was terrified by my excitement and I am pretty sure he quit his job immediately after delivering my package. Oh well..at least I had a new phone. My mom was excited that she could also be able to contact me again. However, what she did not know was that this phone would be the second of many more UPS deliveries to come. This phone lasted about several months before it was lost yet again on the Tallahassee Strip. This loss was during a rather heroic act, and as I decided to assist in breaking up a fight between random boys who were outside Degraff Hall. Apparently once it turns midnight on a Thursday night, I am a very pacifistic person and thought it would be my job to keep these strapping young men out of a fist fight. Little did I know that I would be the one that would be losing in this fight. My phone must have flung out of my pocket and into the bushes, because when I returned to my dorm room around 3 a.m. it was no where to be found. Therefor Blackberry number 2's life had ended.
