Just before Ben got on a plane to come home, I talked to him more than a few times.  Knowing he would be home in hours made me want him to be here immediately.  But on the subject of the phone: I picked out this phone because it was so hideous that I had to.  I saw it and laughed, saying "Wow! That phone is awful!" and then I kept going back to it.  I was drawn to the extreme ugliness.  When people tell me that my phone is cute (which happens surprisingly often), I have no option but to tell them that they're wrong and that it's actually quite ugly.
