Yes I have a blackberry, and yes I'm aware it sucks. I walk around all day watching people walk by happily talking to their friends while surfing the web on there fancy Iphones and androids. While I have to sit there with my phone in the air looking for service.
But the one thing that my blackberry has that your Iphone doesn't have, is an amazing thing called "Black Berry Messenger" or BBM. Its just like texting someone, but instead you can see if the other person has read your text. Basically it gives you the depressing option of knowing when someone is ignoring you. On Wednesday though I made a new friend that someone with an Iphone wouldn't have.
It seemed like any other ordinary ride home from school. I was siting in the back of the bus, watching people to find material for this blog. Nothing had happened that was very interesting this week so I was getting kind of desperate to find something. As I frantically looked around I noticed a young pregnant women who was staring at me. I tried to pretend that I didn't notice her staring at me.
As I continued to look around the bus my phone started vibrating. I pulled out my blackberry and answered a text. As I finished my text I looked up and saw the young girl looking at me. Her lips started moving, so I took my head phones out of my ears.
"I see you have a blackberry too! Do you like it?" she asked
"ummm ya I guess it's alright" I replied
What she did next definitely took me back a little. She pushed her phone at me and showed me her barcode. (For all of you who don't know, the barcode on a blackberry is something where another blackberry can scan the barcode and you instantly become BBM friends) I hesitated for a moment, what do I just ad a complete stranger on my phone. Then I thought to my self "how funny would this be to blog about" so I scanned her barcode. And that's the story how me and Melissa became BBM friends
