| Texting Dictionary |
I used to carry a pen and notebook but that became too bulky for certain situations, especially around the office. And I always have my phone with me. In a nutshell I use my phone to write. And only recently do I use my phone to text.
Endless texting, or ahem, regular texting with my fiancee. It was a world unfamiliar to me. Before, if I texted my friends it was, "Beer?",
And the reply would be, "Ya."
Or, "Coffee?", and "Ya."
But with my fiancee it became lengthy and deep conversations. Heck I think we planned out our wedding via texts. It went something like this:
How mny ppl?
Do u lk prpl flwrs?
Chkn or bf?
2 many ppl are shwing up!
They cant sit 2gethr they h8 each othr
If D shows up will throw her out
Not quite about texting, but check out my Tweet post from a while back.
Today is day seven of the thirty day writing challenge (February edition) as arranged and hosted by Nicky and Mike over at WeWorkForCheese.com. Go check out their site to see what they wrote and see all the other participants.
I need that dictionary!
ReplyDeleteMe 2.
DeleteI had no idea how to text before I got my iPhone last year. It's very easy with the iPhone. Now if only I knew someone I could text.
ReplyDeleteIf you tell people you want to sext, you make get more friends quicker.
DeleteWho's D? And why is she getting thrown out? That's what I want to know. ;)
ReplyDeleteWell, if she shows up I will have a whole separate blog post about it. That will be a story.
DeleteGetting an actual keyboard was such a step up from using the numeric keypad and trying to get the right letters!
ReplyDeleteI know! I hated the numeric keypad. It took ten minutes to type, "Hi, c u in 10."
DeleteHah! That sounds exactly like M and I last July.
ReplyDeleteZiva, I received one reply via text. I thought the stamp on the addressed envelope would have been enough of a hint of what people were supposed to do.
DeleteI like your lengthy and deep text conversations :-)
ReplyDeletethx n!
DeleteI've had my phone about that long. I opted for one with a slide out keyboard too. Love it! Mostly I just text with my hubby, but I tend to write out most of my words. What kind of phone did you get. My is the Samsung Stratosphere.
ReplyDeleteSamsung Galaxy Q. Love it too!
DeleteI think I have it figured out, from your post today. To shorten for texting, pull out the vowels!
ReplyDeleteOh! I thought I had everyone fooled!
DeleteThank God I got married before texting. You scared me to death. Excuse me I need to text my husband about the adorable thing our cat and puppy just did.
ReplyDeleteAlso, when planning a wedding I can ignore the texts and emails from well meaning loved ones. It is ruder to hang up the phone while they are still speaking.
DeleteI think my head would explode if I had to plan out a whole wedding through abbreviated text message speak. I'm one of those anal people who has to type everything out, even when I'm communicating through my phone.
ReplyDeleteI try to use proper grammar & spelling. But sometimes I m n a rsh.
DeleteI haven't done H8 yet. My problem is I shorten things and then autocorrect changes them... DOH! I H8 that!
ReplyDeleteI turned off autocorrect. Don't want my texts to end up on Failblog
DeleteIn my opinion, this is your best post. I totally enjoyed it! Clever and insightful. Why wasn't I invited?
ReplyDeleteDidn't you get the invitation? I thought you were angry with us that you didn't reply.
DeleteMy best post? I was hoping that I had better. But I will take the complement. ;)
I hope the people who can't sit together because they hate each other read your blog. That would be hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI hope D reads my blog. I have one other post about her. (7/27)
DeleteHey Shawn, a busy and somewhat troubling day yesterday kept me away. Wedding by text? Outstanding. I have a similar relationship with Domino's and my bookie. Mmmmm, bet I'm having pizza... Indigo
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried texting for Pizza. I have a close relationship with my pizza guy. We speak on a regular basis.
