"Photo of my uncle’s new mid-life-crisis birthday mustang "
“Hi lionne. I know it’s been a while. How are you doing?”
“Loser. lol. you deleted my number? Right so. I deserve it.”

“Count me in!”
“At work, will call you”
“You bought a Mustang?”
“Hi…who is this?”
“Wow. Goodbye”
It felt good to send that, even though I already gave myself closure. He’s history!
You would’ve caught some really steamy stuff in outgoing messages #50-38 (all from last night; my phone only holds 50 text messages each in the inbox and outbox, but there were some incredibly sexy goings-on at that point). Oh well, your loss.
From least recent to most recent, with the same girl:
With a friend I’m going to see a movie with this weekend:
And yes, I’m one of the ones who’s mastered the cellphone keypad to the extent that I can text and drive without having to look at my phone, at least not for any longer than I take to check my rear-view mirrors. It helps that I programmed on an HP graphing calculator.
The last few messages I’ve received were all balance updates from my Mastercard. I have it hooked up to alert me when something happens.
When I first had it hooked up for alerts a year or two ago, it was damn near instantaneous: I would load money onto the card or use it and my phone would beep with the update before I’d turned away from the counter. These days, it’s taking more than a day, and it can be quite misleading if I want an up-to-date balance. They need a number to receive text messages on, so that I can ask for a balance.
[sub]Or I could just phone them…[/sub]
That’s 4 months worth of messages for me
(I’ve erased some since my phone’s memory is fairly low)
I got one today. I have text messaging off now but I got a marketing message from ATT.
It says:
You have qualified for a free phone upgrade from AT&T. Go to the nearest store to get a new phone… (and so on)
My phone was on a family plan (from my father’s family plan) and I am getting rid of it to get a family plan for my wife and me. I am waiting on the new phone to get here (tomorrow - I hope) and paid a little extra for a Blackberry Pearl. :smack: Could have had a free phone…

Well these were boring:
For bonus material, here’s the best one: “Paul just told me Adam’s a truant because he doesn’t go to school”. Paul is my friend’s 5-year old, Adam his 3-y/o.
Least to most recent outbound messages:
…and, yes, I do punctuate my IM messages, thankyouverymuch.
I think I’ve sent a total of 2 text messages ever. The last few I’ve received were spam.
Not a fan of texting.
Whoopsie daisy. Just realized these are supposed to be outgoing texts.
“How is cavern club” - Question marks are hard to get to on my phone, so I usually just omit them.
“It is ok. Winding down now. I think i am heading to bed room.” - My GF and I just use the word “room” in place of “soon” because stupid cell phones give “room” priority on the auto-spell function. Also, conjunctions are a bitch on my phone. It basically thinks any form of punctuation is a period. It’s smart in that it capitalizes the next letter after any period, so a string like “Hi. How are you?” will be capitalized properly, but if I try to type the word “It’S” or "I’Ve or “How’S”…well, you get the idea.
“Oh no we forgot to do your picks this week. Sorry baby. Work is slow. What are you up to?” - Forgot to help GF with her office pool for NFL picks. She did better on her own than if I had helped.
“Keep me posted on the browns score.” - I was working Sunday. Browns won.
“Halo” Had the afternoon off today, and I wanted my buddy to play Halo 3 with me. He had to work.
Oldest to newest:
you’re my hero-do you mind too much catching the phone?
Remember, you’re the one who’s doing a favor!
We doing lunch today?
Yes, no, maybe so? R u awake?
That sucks, check w/N***** to make sure he’s ok with it-503******* Hope she gets better soon!
Man, I have a shitload of messages on this phone going back to January–darned smartphones with their SD cards have WAY too much room for ephemera on them!
EDIT: D’oh, these are supposed to be outgoing messages…
