The iphone Adventure!

I don't know if you have watched my TV show, but there is a sketch on there called "Genaro Beserk." And it is definitely based on me. It is a bit extreme, however, I can overreact to a bad situation by assuming the world might just ending as we know it.

Now, the other day I was at the film studio and we all went to subway for lunch. There is a gas station connected to that subway and we into that section for a few moments. After deciding against purchasing a 5 hour energy drink I turned around and went back to my car holding a few people's worth of subway in my hand, and my duffel bag of a purse.

Back at studio- I thoroughly enjoyed my subway - even though the avocado was a let down. Once the "itis" set in, I sent one of cast mates to please get my cell phone for me out of my car. I forgot and just did not feel like going up and getting it. I did go to the bathroom and start changing my clothes when I heard someone screaming "SARAH!!! Sarah! come here! QUICK!" Half dressed I paused and wondered what was wrong with these people?! Can a girl rest for a second!? But after repeated appeals for me to hurry I start to worry. I threw the rest of my clothes on, ran upstairs and out the door, looking disheveled and crazy, and my castmate was in his car yelling for me to get in. I ran and jumped in. He was looking at me kinda weirdly so I thought he was playing a prank on me.

I bombard him with questions, but he was illusive. When we got near subway I was like "wait, are we going back to subway?" He said, "Yeah, I am still hungry! and... I need gas" Now, I just saw this guys gulf down a foot long... still hungry? It was not adding up but he was driving like a bat outta hell. And why drive this fast for gas? I just wished I had at least put my shoes. Couldn't someone else have come instead?

We pull up to subway and I, in a very snooty voice, say, "Well you go in, I will wait here since I dont even have shoes on!" He runs in and within moments runs back out. And he is triumphantly holding my cell phone up in the air. WHAT IS GOING ON?

I am so slow... I left my cell phone! It turns out, in the time since we left subway my cell phone was on an adventure. Here is a summary of what happened from what her perspective must have been:

  • I left her there over some subs (so she probably felt abandoned)
  • A thief grabbed her and ran (so she definitely felt violated)
  • The police chased the thief and caught him, rescuing her (moment of relief)
  • She was returned to the gas station (slightly scared again, but collecting herself)
  • Moments later my friend called when he didn't see her in my car to find out where she was (hope)
  • We show up and my friend runs in and grabs her (a bit of confusion, but hope is growing)
  • She is paraded up in the air through the gas station parking lot (feeling a bit like a hero for surviving)
  • She is reunited with me (complete joy-she was over her abandonment issues)
Here is a map rendition of her adventure:


(ps. it may look a lot like Disney's Adventureland... but its not)

Not until halfway through the parade route was I aware of any of this. I asked my friend why he didn't tell me. His answer, "I wanted to avoid you going 'Genaro Beserk'" HAAHAHA! He was definitely right. I would have thrown my body to the ground in despair! My beloved iphone! My only outlet to the world while my computer is broken! The thing that I waited 2 years to buy! Almost gone forever! "WOA IS ME" indeed!

Hahaha, sometimes your friends know you better than you think! Once back at the studio, it was unanimously agreed upon that he acted most wisely to avoid a "Genaro Beserk" moment. LOL! Great!
