AS USUAL, I can't improve on Happy Monkey's analysis. Concise, correct, decisive and direct. Typical.

so what if she isn't checking her cell phone? Phones are evil, and people become enslaved.
I rarely answer my phones.

I'm sorry I'm so dense but I think there is a generation gap issue...I'm in college and everyone of my friends picks up their fone 24/7. Maybe not for working middle aged office people. When you're in college, cell phones are the medium to the outside and inside world. When you're not on the Internet, you're still connected to you're cell phone. So don't assume like everyone knows what it's like to be in college in 2007. Cell phones are seriously life. I talk to my friends at least an hour a day just planning to meet them wherever or whatever. Everyone of you is like "it's convenience, because I'm 50 and I'm busy at work and blah blah" but no you don't understand college kids now. Cell phones are not a convenience to me (or HER), it is a way to be connected to everyone all the time. I don't mean to offend anyone, but the rules of the game have changed since your higher education. No more typewriters. We have laptops. So please trust me as I say cell phones are so much connected into college students everyday needs and communications.

If this is so...then her behavior is REALLLLLLLYYYYYYYY saying something you dont want to hear. You can say its just *her* all you like, but I would hazard a guess that she answers when someone she wants to speak to calls. I have my phone with me 24/7 and return txt/sms messages within minutes of receiving them...even when I am at work. But if someone calls that I dont want to talk too, or a guy calls thats all needy n pissy .... I dont answer and when I see them on msn or talk to them next...i say things like..."oh, I didnt check my phone" or "I left my phone in the car"...its total bullshit

You answer your phone in public restrooms, don't you? Say, do you text there as well? |

Yo, Dude! Everyone is texting everyone else that they are all going to jump off a cliff! You coming, or are you lame? Seriously, I understand that things are different for youth these days. ("Now, you kids with your loud music and your Dan Fogelberg, your Zima, hula-hoops and your Pac-Man video games... People these days have attention spans that can only be measured in nano-seconds!") But don't be so clingy...you may as well be pushing her off a cliff. Maybe she's (gasp) reading or studying and doesn't want to hear how Joe told Bob that they were going to play hacky-sack but Gina said Joe can't go because he promised to take her to Burger King for dinner and so Jimmy said Joe was whipped and Joe punched Jimmy and Shannon told the RA and everyone got written up..." Nothing worse than clingy possessive partners; it makes you feel like you're dealing with a 5 year old.

She's an exception. That is why I'm angry in the first place.

"Generation gap" is only based on averages. It says nothing about individuals. And even for individuals, there are moods. You can get fed up with being "connected to everyone all the time", and a vacation is a great time to disconnect.

Right. The exception.
Ummmm.. just so's you know, logic doesn't change with the generations. She doesn't want to talk to you
