well i was going to post a cool quote from ozzie (which probably would have been more interesting than this entry) but then i was wondering if anyone remembers tomagotchi's.
when i was like twelve i had a little vitual monkey. he was purple and he got very irritated in the middle of the night when i forgot to give him his daily ration of bananas....hmmm. i often worried that i would be a terrible mother when i got older. my virtual pet would be chirpping in the bottom of my dresser drawer where i had absently placed him days earlier and i would eagerly jump out of bed to see what he was demanding this time.
what a strange little fad those vitual pets were??? kinda like slap bracelets. they really served no function. they got pretty annoying after awhile, and yet they could be so entertaining at the same time!
anyways, i thought of my little virtual monkey for the first time in many many years because tonight my cell phone was beeping in its funky little way when i have neglected to charge it for a little too long. as i responded to it in my normal strangeness saying "don't worry little cell phone i'll get you some juicey charge" i realized perhaps i haven't learned as much as i would like to think i have since those childhood virtual pet days! huh ;o)
