So the phone sits among my nightgowns, essentially deceased. I only recently acknowledged that it will never be what a phone should be—someone’s steadfast companion, a guilty pleasure, a fetish object alive with the hallucinatory wonders of the entire angelic and demonic internet.

What happened is my son rejected my gift. He simply said no to the present I’d bought and wrapped for him. He didn’t want a phone. He really didn’t want a phone. As I protested that he need use it only for calls and texts, he dug in, and became emotional. Please don’t make me get a phone. So I tucked the iPhone 4 in my drawer, assuming he’d come around. Three years later, he still hasn’t.

What. The. Fuck.

Yeah, that's about the only reasonable reaction. This falls squarely in "you think you hate journalists enough, but you don't" for me. Between the "look at me, I'm a nerd too!" begging, the narcissism oozing from every word, the fact that there's a number of super suspicious things (did you really have a dial-up connection to Dartmouth in 1978? Did you really think "Oh, I'm lost so I'll quote Tolkien to my son"? and so on), and basically ignoring the wishes of her kids, this woman is quite the piece of work.

They both say that they never signed a waiver to let their likenesses be used for my promotional purposes.

And they didn't. So stop posting photos of them online! Or, even better, just listen to them when they tell you things, rather than calling their opinions a "dangerous insurgency"

And bragging about forcing your kids to wear Google Glass....

You need help, lady. A LOT of help. Starting about 15 years ago.

dug in, and became emotional

Literal woman moment and she's still too narcissistic to pick up on it.
