   OK, so maybe four in one month is kinda nutty, but I’d like to point out two things that might make you feel better about it.
   One, you got a very funny post out of it. And two, they were some pretty sweet ringtones.

   Nina: if it will help me get the ringtone monkey off my back, I’m willing to try anything.
   Tracy Lynn: Um. See, here’s the thing… it was actually five over the course of two days. But the sweetest ringtone of all was Dr. Greene’s idea: Back in Black. So now when he calls, my phone’s all:
   Dun. Duh dun. Duh dun. Dee dee, dee dee, dee dee, dee dee. BACK IN BLAAACK!

   Don’t you wonder why ‘Fame’ was cheaper?

   Scarlett: Very observant! In fact, when I ordered it, I did wonder. But as soon as I heard it, mystery solved. Instead of being the actual song, it was the polyphonic muzak version of it. I ordered all these when I was in DC for my b-day. Vivian requested FAME!, and we were all crying laughing at how nerdy her new ringtone was: beep beep ba beep ba bee bee. beep beep ba beep ba ba beep BEEP!

   Oh, Jenny, I wish you could have heard how loudly I laughed over this one!

   Dude, if you round it up, two days BECOMES a month…that’s called thinking like an addict.

   I am so envious of Vivian. That’s the best ringtone ever, AND at Ross-Dress-For-Less prices.

    Me too, Jen — me too. It’s just so hard not to download ALL OF THEM once you realize you have the ability to do so. I think I downloaded 7 the first day I had my new phone.

    $12.00 just for the ringer on your phone??!! Cool. I’d have fun with it too, if I knew how. (Probably a good thing I don’t)

    Jess: My pc shook a little bit earlier – was that you?
    Sizz: Boyyyy, you really got me going. You got me sooooo, I don’t know what I’m doin’.
    Tracy Lynn: I like the way your mind works!
    Cheryl: It actually is pretty good, if I have to admit it…
    Sandra: Nice! I think I remember you writing about that!
    3T: Yes, this is where a little knowledge can be very dangerous.

    Is that Don’t Bring Me Down the one by ELO? If so, you’re awesome. If not…this conversation never happened.

    Now that’s funny!
    I was working at my gym last night when one of my coworkers came in to work out. She left her cellphone with me behind the desk and I had a concert going. Her boyfriend (Goo Goo Dolls “Iris”) called twice. Her friend Justin (Jack Johnson “Upside Down”) called. And a couple others I can’t quite recall. Entertainingly annoying.

    I looove that you have “Push It.” I’m so jealous.
    I have the cheesy standard ring on mine. Becuase I KNOW that if I start dabbling in ringtones, my budget as I know it will cease to exist.

    At least you’re not suckered into texting that Joke Line they advertise on MTV. You know the one, “it will you sense of humor even better” ad.

    Chris: Oh, that conversation happened all right, and apparently I am awesome. ELO indeed.
    Kevin: It’s sad when I’m so out of touch with popular music that ringtones are too hip for me.
    Laurie: Seriously – it’s like crack. You try it once and you’re hooked!
    Egan: I’m ashamed to admit that I honestly don’t know how to text message. When I was in DC, my friends kept text messaging me, and I couldn’t figure out how to retrieve them!

    I was soooo excited when I downloaded “Stairway To Heaven” as my ringtone for only 99 cents. My euphoria soon turned to shame though when I heard the greatest song ever played like a cheap Nintendo sound track.
    Since then I’ve been too afraid of letting another digital monstrosity into my phone to try downloading anything else.

    I just banned “ringtone” from my comments. You and I … we’re totally in synch.

    So what’s your ringtone for me when I call you at TC’06? Because you know I’m so gonna call when I get my little shot of tequila in front of me, and sit at my own little table, all alone… drunk dialing taken to a whole new extreme.

    I love this. Ringtones are so addictive. I did the same thing last week. Bought way too many (i mean WAY TOO MANY), but I have no regrets. My favorite ringtone? When my mom calls me, I hear Axl Rose singing “Sweet Child of Mine,” which, now that I’ve typed that, seems really weird, but it makes me laugh when I hear it. Anyway, “Push It” has gotta be the best ringtone EVER.

    On most phones you go to the Messaging menu and look at the Inbox and there you should find your incoming text messages.
