I would have to say, my cell phone is my favorite. I don't leave home without it. If I would have to give it up, I'm not sure how I would react. I guess I would just be lost and disconnected. It's the easiest way for me to keep in touch with people, especially since I'm always on the go. I would probably resort to sending emails to everyone, but they feel so emotionless and empty to me. Think about it. Right now you really have no idea what state of mind I'm in. I could be happy, sad, angry... anything. The only clues you get to my state of mind are the words I choose to use, which can often times be very vague. I guess what I'm saying, is I would miss the human interaction the most. Now I know, talking on the phone isn't the same as seeing them in person, but it's pretty darn close. Also, it's an immediate form of communication. Unlike and email or a letter, it could take that person and where from minutes to days to get your message (depending on how often they check their email).
The other thing is, even if I can't physically speak to them at that moment for some reason, I'll text message them. Texting is also a fast way to get in touch with someone, even if it's just to say "Hi, have a nice day." I enjoy the random messages that let me know that people are thinking about me, even if it's only for a minute.

Media Checklist
How often do you use the phone? Who do you call most often?
I'd say I'm on the phone for atleast an hour or two a day. Never more than 20 mins. on one call. I generally call 4 people, being Andy (my Fiancee), my Mom, Rachael (my Sister), and Summer (My bestfriend). Other than that, there's a random call to someone in my sorority that needs to find some sort of answer.
When's the last time you listened to a speech or public speaker where you were physically in the audience (not required for class)? What was is and why?
I generally find myself bored when I listen to a public speaker, so I attempt to avoid those types of situations. The last public speaker I listen to would probably be about a year ago. She was giving a workshop on team leadership, and I was required to go for SAAC.
How often do you IM? Name two people on you buddy list or people you frequently chat with?
I'm never really in my room long enough to actually IM someone. When I do, it's mainly just to say hey I'm leaving now/coming over. Something to that effect when I'm heading over to Summer's or Andy's room.
How often do you use email?
I send about 15 emails everyday. I generally reply to sorority sisters, coaches, and professors.
When's the last time you paid for music to listen to? What was it? CD? iTunes? Concert?
I'm not sure if this counts, but a few summer's ago someone bought me tickets for Maroon 5. I usually share music with my sister and Andy, so I always have a good variety to upload on my mp3 or ipod.
What's the most recent thing you've watched on TV? Why?
Let's see... the last time I watched TV was the last night of break. It was QVC, 24-hr Gem special.... I like anything that sparkles.
When's the last time you recorded a movie or television program? What was it?
To be honest, I don't think I've ever recorded a movie or tv show. I don't watch enough TV to care if I miss something.
Name the most recent movie you watched for fun at the theater? DVD?
Ummmm... Andy and I rented the Lakehouse over break.
Name the type of radio station you last listened to & why?
I generally listen to 105.9 or Rock 104. I really don't enjoy rap or hip hop, I'd much rather listen to some good rock/alt. rock.
Name the most recent book you read for YOU (not a class)? Why?
The last time I had enough free time to read something, other than class, was sadly over the summer. I read Promise Me by Coblan. It's part of a series that my Mom had been reading. She thought I would really enjoy it, so she gave it to me.
When was the last time you read a newspaper? Name it? Why were you reading it?
I try to pick up a USA Today and New Castle News everyday... mainly for the sudoku's. But everyonce in a while an article will strike my attention. The last time I picked up the paper with the intentions of reading it? Again, over break. I wanted to read the sports section.
When's the last time you paid for a magazine? What was it?
I have a sub. to Glamour, so I get that monthly. Everyonce in a while, I'll pick up Cosmo in Giant Eagle as I'm checking out.
When's the last time you wrote a letter and sent it?
Sadly, it's been quite a while since I've wrote a letter. Through high school I had a friend who lived in Erie. We'd send letter's back and forth. We recently began talking again through emails though.
Name a Web site you frequently or have bookmarked on your browser? When's the last time you visited? Why?
I actually have quite a few bookmarks on my browser. Including a few grad. schools, the website for my employer (if you ever need some quality wooden furniture, I'm your girl), facebook, myspace, ECAC, and Raceberry Jam. I visit the last two the most to keep updated on the track standings and times.
Do you have a Myspace or Facebook or blog? Why?
I do have a myspace and a facebook. I use them mainly to keep intouch with people in someway other than email.
