Cell Phone Contacts

Evan is very efficient with his cell phone. He optimizes which short film clips, pictures, and address book entries are the optimal mix. Unfortunately, he must think that a contact takes up 1MB, because he purges that list more than I purge my Facebook friends.

Tyler is one of my favorite people and Evan considers him a good friend. We were roommates for nearly a year until the house we were renting got sold. Sadly, we had to split up: Evan and I stayed in the neighborhood, but Tyler moved to Bethesda, MD to be closer to work.

Less than a month after Tyler moved away, we met up for dinner and went to P.F. Chang's. As we were walking to the restaurant, Evan made an announcement

Evan: I deleted you from my phone.
Tyler: You deleted me?!? Why?
Evan: Because you move away!You on red line!

A 30 minute drive, a 45 minute ride on the Metro Red Line, Tyler was dead to Evan.

When we moved to Boston, Evan deleted me from his phone. Why? "Because you moved from DC." With him.

  1. I am binge reading a little later than I should be, and I am laughing out loud, keeping Honor up. These are GREAT, Brig.

  2. This is why when I went more than about a month between visits to DC, Evan would ask "Who is this?" when I called.
