Introducing our new game called:
“Don’t Be A Di*k During Meals With Friends.”
The first person to crack and look at their phone picks up the check.
Our (initial) purpose of the game was to get everyone off the phones free from twitter/fb/texting and to encourage conversations.
Rules:
- The game starts after everyone has ordered.
- Everybody places their phone on the table face down.
- The first person to flip over their phone loses the game.
- Loser of the game pays for the bill.
- If the bill comes before anyone has flipped over their phone everybody is declared a winner and pays for their own meal.
Variations/house rules:
- Starting the game after everyone is seated.
- In the rare event that multiple people flip their phones simultaneously, the bill is split between said players.
- Feel free to invoke penalties/strikes systems.
Notes:
- No touching or messing with anybody else’s phones.
- You don’t have to stack the phones. This was done for picture taking purposes.
- I realize I should perhaps think of a different name for this awesome game. Because I don’t mean to imply that everyone who checks their phone during meals is a di*k.
- I recommend not being such a stickler or hardass on people about the rules and even initiation of the game. Basic premise is to just get people open to the idea of staying active and attentive to one another. But if someone has to take a call; they have to take a call =).
- Have fun! It’s really more of a fun concept in this new age high tech life of ours. Conversation is the spice of life

Nowadays, I choose to only reblog things that I really like [a huge change from when i started this], and I have to say, I LOVE this. People are so eager to communicate with others miles away, that they miss out on the great conversation and company they have right in front of them. Why break bread with someone if all you’re going to do is stare at a screen? You never know, the next conversation you have with someone could change your life.

Where there once was sorrow, there is now apathy.
It’s interesting, the things you [don’t] post nowadays.
The one day you are finally over your sleeplessness, you have to stay awake.
There’s a fine line between being sentimental & a pack rat.
What a world it would be if people were like their online selves in real life.
Ok. so i’ve had it before, but this time, it was really bad, like really, really bad, so maybe writing it down will help me get over it somehow, [ps. don’t read if you get scared…well, idk if it’s really that scary, maybe just me, but yeah]
This is what i remember, I was already in a dream and it was about my mom and how she had just come home from work, she was going to go to sleep, but i was in her bed, so i moved over so i could sleep next to her, my brother, sister, and cousin. then i woke up from it, but apparently i was in another dream, and i walked downstairs from my room in mira mesa to the backyard where we were having a bbq.
I remember seeing people and everyone was having a good time and i was telling jlei about my dream and how i missed my mom. All of a sudden there were fireworks and stuff, like a lot of fireworks everywhere, and then i woke up. So, at this point, idk if i really woke up or if i was in another dream, but i remember seeing all the fireworks and then thinking this isn’t right, and feeling something really bad, so i tried my hardest to wake up. Next thing i know i’m asleep again, but i keep on hearing my mirror banging on my door [i have a hanging mirror on my door…if you didn’t know. lol.] Ok, so i hear it, and i get really scared so i wake up, look at it, turn on the hall light, don’t see anything, and then go back to bed, a little freaked out, but still ok. I go back to sleep but i wake up again to the sound of the mirror banging on my door, but now i can’t move.
so i’m lying in my bed, my eyes are open and i’m looking at my door with the mirror. all of the sudden my door opens and i can’t move. I’m straining to see what’s coming through the door, but can’t really make anything out….until it comes closer. and i don’t know if i actually made sound, or if it was just in my head but i’m fucking screaming. loud. i wasn’t screaming words more like ahhhhh and uhhhhh. what i saw was a little girl in a hood standing at the foot of my bed staring at me. and she wasn’t a normal looking little girl, like one of those really really creepy looking ones, like if you’ve ever seen the others and the scene where nicole kidman’s like “you’re not my daughter”, but then then little girl turns around and says “but ma’m, i am your daughter” and she’s all creepy looking…that’s what it was like.
she comes closer looking at me really puzzled, but smiling, and i’m still making scared noises and then i close my eyes to try and make her go away, but i know she’s still there. I open my eyes again and she’s right in front of my face and she flicks her fingers at me, or i don’t think flick, more like wave maybe? and then she starts to walk away, she gets to the door, turns around and waves, and idk why, but i’m like “byeee.” after that i’m finally able to move.
-___________-
what really freaks me out is that this all happened at around 3 in the morning, and if you’ve ever watched emily rose or any of that scary exorcist stuff, 3 am is the devil’s hour.
So now, i’m sitting in my room with the lights on, mirror off the door, door locked wondering if i’ll ever go back to sleep again. And i’m hearing so many sounds outside my window like people moving things in between our house and the one next door. But seriously i’m scared shitless, and i’ve lowkey had diarrhea all day. At least if i end up dead tomorrow in some weird way, or i’m possessed, everyone on tumblr knows what happened.
hoping to see everyone in the morning,
Kevin.
Nvm. I know why.
start this up again…
I haven’t been able to sleep lately. Maybe this’ll help.
Either (1) it’ll give me something to do at night when i cant sleep, or (2) it’ll be an outlet for me to figure things out.
