task: myPhone
Day 1: Describe what kind of phone your muse has. What kind of brand is their phone? How long have they had it? Do they like their phone or do they want another one? Do they use it often or not? Jamie has an iPhone 7. He’s had it for about 2 months and it was a replacement for his previous iPhone that he dropped as he was stepping off the team plane and shattered the screen of. Jamie is happy with his phone, it does what he needs when he needs it to do it. Prior to reconnecting with Min, Jamie had hardly ever used his phone - he’d go two days without needing to charge it - but now that he’s reconnected to Min, Jamie is constantly either on his phone or attached to it.
Day 2: Describe your muse’s phone case. What kind of case do they have? Was it expensive? What does the case look like? Do they change their case often or have they kept the same one? Jamie doesn’t have a case on his phone. He’s sure it’s the reason his screen shattered when he dropped it, but he can’t really bring himself to wanting a case on his phone.
Day 3: Describe your muse’s lockscreen. What does their lockscreen look like? What is the story behind it? Is their lockscreen a picture of something important to them? What about their homescreen? What does it look like? What’s the story behind it? How long have they had their homescreen/lockscreen? Jamie’s lockscreen is the Dallas Stars logo and ever since he’s played for the Stars he’s had the logo as his background. Jamie prefers to keep it that way so that he’s a little more private, he doesn’t want random people or media getting a glimpse into his private life from the background of his phone. It might be a little bit of paranoia seeping through, but either way his team is very important to him so it fits well. Jamie’s homescreen, on the other hand, is a photo of himself and Min when he went to visit Min in Korea. Jamie made it his homescreen when he was on his flight home from visiting Min and he’s almost sure that he’ll never change it for the rest of his life. It’s incredibly important to him because it’s Min, of course, but also because it was just a silly photo they had taken, but they both look so calm and happy and peaceful and even when Jamie’s having a bad day it reminds him that everything is going to be okay.
Day 4: Describe your muse’s photos. What kind of photos are on their phone? How do they feel about the photos? What is the story behind the photos? Are there memories they might want to forget? Jamie takes photos of everything, although he doesn’t share a lot of them on social media he documents everything he does for himself. All the traveling Jamie does for hockey leaves him in different places almost every day and he always wants to remember something from where he’s been. He’s, of course, saved every photo that Min has sent him and those are on his phone in their own folder. There really aren’t any memories Jamie wants to forget from his photos (ones that he hasn’t already forgotten anyway) Photos are really important to Jamie and it’s especially important because he can share what’s going on with him with his friends and family. Jamie also has a lot of screenshots in his photos and he usually checks them first thing in the morning to make sure he hasn’t forgotten anything that happened the night before.
Day 5: Describe your muse’s apps. What kind of apps do they keep on their phone? What apps do they use most often? Do they have any games on their phone? What about social media? Do they set up their apps a certain way on the homescreen? (folders, organized, etc.) Jamie really doesn’t keep a lot of apps on his phone. For social media he keeps his instagram and snapchat, he has a Facebook but doesn’t keep access to it on his phone - he’s one of those who posts on his Facebook once every four or five months. Jamie uses probably snapchat the most and he couldn’t count the number of snaps he sends out in a day to his boyfriend and friends. Other than that, Jamie plays a few card games on his phone and uses several different apps to check hockey stats. Jamie doesn’t really have his apps organized in any special way and he just lets them line up in the order he downloads them.
Day 6: Describe your muse’s call history/messages. Who were they messaging? We want to know who they talk to most, who they don’t talk to. What do they talk about? Who was the last person they have called? Have the ignored someone’s call/message purposely recently? Have they gotten an important call recently? The three people Jamie talks to most are simple: his mom, his older brother Jordie and Min. Jamie sends the most text messages to Min and he finds himself texting his boyfriend constantly, even about completely irrelevant things. Jamie’s brother Jordie was recently traded to another team so they text more now, typically they talk about hockey or what’s going on in their lives. Jamie helped Jordie find his new place to live in Montreal. Jamie and his mom talk on the phone more than they text and she’s always calling to check on him, to see if there’s anything new in his life and also to constantly bug him about wearing better safety gear when he’s playing hockey. Jamie doesn’t purposely ignore texts from anyone, but he often doesn’t reply to texts from his teammates, he usually just waits to talk to them in personal (there really isn’t a day that goes by that they don’t see him) so he’d rather just wait until he sees them to talk about whatever they’ve messaged him about.
Day 7: Describe your muse’s music library. What kind of music do they listen to? Do they buy their music? Do they have a music app? What is a song they find themselves listening to frequently? Do they have songs that they skip but keep on their phone/playlist? Do they have songs from one genre more than others? Jamie doesn’t use a music app, but he has a horrible habit of hearing one song he likes by an artist and buying their entire album without any other preview. Jamie also listens to a little bit of everything and he’s always open to listening to new music. He tends to default to the song ‘Drop the World’ by Lil Wayne, especially before games. Jamie does skip over songs a lot as he almost always just listens to music on shuffle so he ends up crossing over a lot of songs he doesn’t really care for, but he never removes them from his phone because he’s never really sure if he will like the songs at some other point.
Day 8: Anything else you might want to tell us about your muse’s phone. The sky is the limit… Be creative here! Jamie is incredibly protective of his phone just because it holds so much of his and Min’s relationship. Being in a long distance relationship, both having such hard schedules and time zones means that Jamie and Min are on their phones to one another a lot. A lot of texting and photos and snapchatting and facetiming occurs between the two and Jamie’s become incredibly protective of his phone because he doesn’t want to let anyone into the most private moments between Min and him.
