Old Fashioned

 I consider myself a modern girl.

I have a cell phone (that I don’t use)

laptop (that I use all the time)

And I have played Angry Birds, once in my 20 years of my existence….

I don’t have a Facebook or Twitter but I do have a form of social media (Book Likes! And Goodreads…)

But as modern as I am… there is one thing, I will always be old fashioned about!

My books!

I like my books, like I like my men….

On paper!

prefer actual physical books to any Ereader out there!

I can hear you now…

“Don’t knock till you try it!”

But I did try it…

I tried it for 2 months and I liked it.

But the out of nowhere it decided to stop working.

I didn’t drop it,

Didn’t accidentally spill water on it, and I'm d*mn sure didn’t throw it against the wall!

But for no apparent reason…

My kindle decided to permanently freeze on a disfigured portrait of Jules Verne!

 

Who the heck is Jules Verne?

Is Jules Verne going to repay me for the books I lost?

Did my ancestors harm him in the past and this is his delayed payback?

Hmmm?

No?

Then why?!

Why is my Kindle frozen on him?!

I can throw a book against the wall,

I can stomp on it,

I can accidentally spill water on it,

And I will still be able to read it!

And it sure as hell wouldn’t freeze on some random portrait of JULES VERNE!

 

Wondering why I’m being punished

Yours truly
