Some thing. That I have.
Why do they text me only when I don't or can't talk back??
Published on October 19, 2007 By Cedarbird In Misc
Okay, here's the deal. I am in college, and I have a lot of friends. I also have unlimited text messaging, and hours of free time in a day to use it. So why, may I ask, do I only get text messages when I'm in class and I can't respond? And for some reason, they always come during math. That class is the bane of my existence, but I digress. For example, yesterday, I was sitting in class, falling asleep (because of course I don't get the eight hours of sleep a night that I realize I need), and I hear this song start playing. Confused, I become alert, looking around for someone else to turn it off. Why? Because I never get phone calls. Ever. Then I realize that I'm probably the only college student with "Carry On, Wayward Son" as a ring tone and I scurry to turn it off. The professor, of course, doesn't miss a beat in her lecture. A few seconds later, the phone buzzes with a text. Annoyed, I hurry out of class at the end to see what kind of emergency merited someone calling me in the middle of my class. They were from the same person, a fellow student and hall mate.
What did the text say? I'll tell you.
"Want to go to lunch?"
...
WHAT?!?!?!?!?! All of that, for LUNCH!!!
Today, my phone has been completely still all day until about an hour ago, when three people started conversations with me. AT THE SAME TIME. It's like my life never balances. Nothing, sometimes for days, then boom! All at once. Why does this happen, and has it happened to you?
I really need someone to explain this cell phone phenomenon to me, I am so very confused. Thanks!!!

"Dear, I do believe aqueous precipitation is being produced during this solar cycle."

I do believe I would have been lost after 'believe', not because of the high class words, but more than 4 words in a sentence is too many unless we're already having an in-depth discussion...

Heh, heh. I don't mind throwing some flowery language in mundane situations...to me it makes life a tad more interesting.

Or you can reduce it to:

Raining. Need umbrella. Bye.

OMG IDKWUM????!!!1111oneoneone


I don't get it. But then, I WAS taught how to text by San Chonino, so I can't abide the shortened words. I yell at people for not writing things out.

Hee hee! Yep, I find a new word for every day. I teach the masses!

Rain. Umbrella.

So much wasted with 'ing. Need' and 'Bye.'

Anyway, I like using big words too, and I like making puns, and I finally figured out that my wife thinks it's funny when she's trying to be stern too, so I can always get her to laugh instead of giving me the evil look...

I like making puns,


I think puns are good for the soul. Hell, 'pun' rhymes with 'fun'...you can't go wrong there.

What have I started?!?!? I'm getting a little scared, now. Though there is hope! My friend used the word "alleviate" in a text to me this weekend...
Maybe the world isn't ending in an Armageddon of grammar-less confusion...please?

I just found a brilliant cartoon for this topic.

Is the misspelled received for irony's sake or just a typo?
