My Dad totally called me at 7 AM to get me out of bed for class, which is awesome. My parents are so proud that their adult daughter still needs them to get her butt moving in time to start her day. Really, aren't we all proud of me at this moment?
So I got to class, and got on a marshrutka to go to Vefa center, because I knew that they have both a cell phone store that accepts Visa and the headquarters of my provider, so I can have my sim card restored and keep my current phone number for a small fee. Yes, I have done this before. I needed to pay with Visa, because I was expecting a deposit in my bank either yesterday or today, without which I wouldn't have any cash.
Problem was, my internet shut off last night, so I couldn't check my bank balance this morning. I got to the store and they told me that their credit card system is out and probably will be forever (In the US, things that are broken generally get fixed in a reasonable matter of time. Here, it's more common to just give up on whatever it was.). I went to each ATM in the building trying to get a balance statement, but couldn't get a single one.
So I came home, and found out that I had plenty of money to buy a phone. But instead I get to do it all over again tomorrow. Well, I don't have class on Wednesdays, so at least I don't need a wake up call.
It's funny, though--I had no idea how dependent I am on text messages to feel loved, or at least like anyone here knows or cares that I am alive.

haha, i told you how that one time i was worried my phone had stopped working (because that would be better than the fact that no one loved me and wanted to send me text messages) and was thinking of sending you a message about coffee and then you sent me a message about coffee. yay, love AND coffee! if i ever find someone who will sell me a SIM-card without an Uzbek passport and without ripping me off, i will send you a SMS from Tashkent.
I was "accidently" watching Regis and Kelly yesterday. Accidently because I didn't turn the channel after the Today Show went off... don't judge me, because I love you... Agh! Regardless, they had an entire segment about International Talk Like a Pirate Day! I thought about you... I miss my favorite pirate.
