Phone in Working Order; Huzzah!

Amazingly, they've managed to re-flash the software of my phone, and so life seems to be moving on dandily with everything that ought to be working, working. The only caveat is that I lost all the data that was not backed up onto the SIM card, but then again that wasn't much data.

While trying to restore the settings on my phone, I realised that I couldn't really connect to it directly from Elyse using Bluetooth—it seems to be a deliberate limitation of the phone. Not an issue though; my US cellphone can accept stuff on the Bluetooth stack, and so I just used it as a proxy to handle the data transfers itself.

Not too long ago, I talked a little about how some friends just go cold. I realised that that very description that I wrote could very well be a description of me towards some other folks, I guess. The bottom line is that at the end of the day, we're all rather similar to each other, despite the efforts of some of us in trying to be as unique as we possibly can.

Maybe this is nature's way of regulating relationships between people?

That aside, I'm starting to feel that while on the one hand I'm much more human than I was, on the other hand, I'm starting to be even more detached than before. It's an interesting conundrum, both in the sense of how it got to that stage and why is it even in existence. To both these questions, I don't think that I have a good enough answer.

Sometimes life is infuriating. It throws you so many curve-balls, and you try your darndest to deal with that crap, and you just fail at it. Other times, things are really smooth, and then after a while you get scared, wondering if it is all just a dream and that something really bad will occur just around the corner or something.

But I guess that's what makes us human.
