Clean Sweeeeeeep
I must admit, it was like a trip down memory lane. As I scrolled and laid each person and number I no longer wanted in there to rest, a brief memory of each person flashed through my mind. Many of them were memories of drunken nights out and about and girls that I only knew for a few hours. Some were girls I dated for a few months, some for a few years. Others were friends I have parted ways with over the years and others were old work acquaintances. I am now down to a lean 46 numbers in my phone. It's a mere shell of the glory this phone once possessed, but it was time. Anyone I have not talked to or texted in the last 4 or 5 months or so, or anyone I no longer wish to talk to was removed. Kind of harsh? I don't think so. Time to look ahead to the new people I will meet and time to continue to cherish the people who have stuck around and been there for me who remain in the phone. Some were tough to delete and I struggled to press that erase button......
In the words of Billy Joel, "Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes, I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again."
Now, time to go out and load this fucker up again!

I just did the same thing with my new cell phone. It really is hard to get rid of old numbers. It's like letting go of the past. I even had numbers in my phone from people I don't even remember. LOL.
Wanna make it 47... hahah
Yes I do Kate, I need a nice CT listing in there.... :)
I know exactly what you mean. There are times when I go through my numbers and there are some that I don't even know who they are. I think that might have to do with my bad memory. With 415 names in my phone, I struggle with erasing, there for the high number. Then there are numbers of people who I don't want to talk to, because well I just don't, that's why I keep them on my phone, so when they do call I know it's them and I won't pick up. How many Joe's, Mike's, Anthony's, Chris's and Christina's, Danny's and I could go on...do people really know? Apparently I know at least 5 of each name. Though there is this one particular number I have in my phone, which has probably changed, I can not part with. That's just an issue of letting go of my feelings which I have not been able to conquer yet. I'll just keep it there to make me reminisce and sometimes just ponder on the WHAT IF?
after last night's drunk dial, I think I need to take another number or two out of there!
Saturday night's drunk dial was one of the best things you did. It helped us both and I love you for it. Don't ever take my number off or I will get Abby out after you!
Whoever anonymous is, I hope you are being nice to Charlie, he deserves it.
