I have always been an absent-minded person. Whenever people warn me about something that i need to be careful of, I always ignore it. The tragedy came one time, and i could never forget it, the most dilemmatic moment i have faced.
That day, i carried my cellphone to the toilet as usual, it's a new one, and I bring it everywhere I go.
My mom always warns me of not putting the cellphone in the pocket, it might fall out; however i never listen to her. I went into the toilet, do the "initial steps" in the bathroom. Just about the moment i was going to squat down. And i was thinking in my mind: "oh! My cellphone is in my pocket!" , the tragedy happened. I heard the sound of splash beneath me. I wasn't that panic at the moment because i dropped the money in the toilet for a couple times, it was no big deal to me. But when i looked down, and felt the pocket lightened, I knew I'm in trouble. I started screaming. Oh my god! It's my cellphone sinking! It's new! It's not waterproof! I need to save it! Here comes the dilemma, the water was kind of dirty, although i haven't done the "toilet action". What if the person went into this toilet was doing the "big deal", what if she had a diarrhea? God, I can't stop imagining how dirty is the toilet. But that is my cellphone inside. The more time i spend to think about picking it up or not, the less chance will it be still usable.
I've made up my mind, i closed my eyes, and put my hand into the cold water. My hands were shaking, trying to reach my cellphone. I can feel the cool and wet touching of the water, that feeling went through my finger tip to my wrist. How can the toilet be so deep? As i reached my cellphone, i tried to stress my fingers to grab it, but it slipped. Almost all of the swear words came into my mind, I condemned myself of doing this stupid thing. I tried again, holding it tight in my hand.
The screen was black, i think it has shut down because of the water. I walked to the faucet, wondering if i should wash my hand, and also wash my cellphone. It's will be wet again! But it's dirty! "Nah!Screw it! It's wet already and it will work if it's not broken, I'm going to wash it anyway!" That is what i was thinking. So i washed it and i washed my hands. Totally forgot the main purpose that caused this tragedy. I guess my urine has evaporated when the cellphone dropped.
I went out of the bathroom, and saw my friends playing with their cellphone, and told me "Hey! I heard someone screaming in the toilet, did you heard that?" "Um, yes...?" I showed them my cellphone after taking a nice shower, and they all started laughing at me, ask if I'm going to call my mom with it. What a beautiful day with my awesome friends!
My cellphone, of course, is destined to be a sleeping beauty for the rest of it's life. And I will never ever bring a cellphone with me into the bathroom again, since this experience is so remarkable.

Free writing: Gone Girl( movie review)
Before the terrible mid-term week, i went to watch a movie called "The Gone Girl".
It's so popular and great a movie that everyone who has seen it recommended me to go watch it.
The movie started with Nick, the husband, sitting in the bar and got a call from his neighbor, and he went home, found out that his wife Amy was gone. All of these happened on their fifth anniversary day.
Nick then called the police, and Amy's parents found a volunteering group to search for their beloved, talented daughter.
At first the was told in the third person perspective, but then it turned to the first person narrative, which is Amy telling the truth that she detested her husband so much that she set up a scheme to make everyone thinks that she was murdered by her husband. Amy's plan was so perfect that it sent a shudder through me. I almost believed that Nick really killed her. I don't want to tell more details of the movie! Haha! But the crazy mind of Amy really astonished me and gave me goosebumps. She was acting in front of everyone! And almost everyone was tricked by her.
I think what's really fascinating about the movie was that, among most victims or minorities in the stories were females. But in the Gone girl, the victim was male. This story holds a concept that "Truth are tend to be more deeper than what we saw outside." Just like Amy's ex-boyfriend was being accused of raping her, but those were all her schemes.
In my opinion, it's a very feminist mainstream movie, because it showed that nowadays society controls women and rforce them into certain roles, and have to obey what their husbands say. Amy in this movie,destroyed her husband's life, she's symbolically taking back power for women.
Amy wants to take control of man. She asks Nick to wear the tie she bought for him. In the reality, women tend be on the weak side, so Amy in the story, she took advantage of this, and made people to believe that her husband was the murderer.
I think it is a very good movie, because I am a very absent-minded person, so I think I can watch this movie for a lot of times!
