I’ve never texted. I’ve read a couple of spam texts, but I usually deleted them unread. I got a new phone a couple of months back, and while I was getting it activated, I had the texting functions disabled. I’ve never played most of the MMORPGs. Not because I think that I wouldn’t like them, but because I’m afraid that I’d like them too much. I’ve never watched most of the popular TV shows. Not because I think that I’d like them too much, but because the basic themes seem to be quite boring. I despise idiot plots. ---
