As for my last 5 texts… lets just say I was talking to a very pretty girl I have recently made “acquaintances” with and had had a a few drinks… self explanatory I feel. ---

1 - “We’ll meet you there. I’m not home from work yet. See you soon.” To a friend I was meeting before heading out for a drink. 2 - “We’ll be there.” Accepting an invitation from another friend. 3 - “She took her time. What did she say?” After a friend got a response from a girl he likes. 4 - “I’ll speak to [husband] when he gets home from work and let you know. Because we’re supposed to be out tomorrow.” Linked to first text. 5 - “Cheers. But we’re gonna pass and just pub it. Got work in the morning.” Turning down VIP tickets for a new bar in town. ---

My last five sent messages (newest first): 1. “Would it be a bad idea to invite [friend] to take part in the secret santa?” - _To a friend organising a secret santa. The guy I was referring to is a good friend of mine, but not so popular among some of my other friends._ 2. "I was reading in the lounge and she came in with some food and said “[**bundy**], why don’t you go to your computer?” and I asked why and she went “so I can eat without feeling a vague sense of uneasiness in this room.” " - _That was me telling my brother about a completely baffling exchange with my mother - I still don’t know what that was about, she wasn’t angry at me or anything…_ 3. “Good to know. Was your just-barely-not-suicidal day fun?” - _To a guy I’d caught up with the previous day who was telling me about his plans to go skydiving and bungee jumping._ 4. “So, are you dead yet? If I promise to go to the funeral, can I have your alarm clock? =)” -\* Same guy, he’d been telling me about how his employer had given him a free alarm clock to encourage him to get to work on time.\* 5. “It was nice talking to you yesterday anyway. Thanks for that. =)” -\* Talking to my ex-boyfriend from earlier this year. I’d run into him unexpectedly and we’d had a catch up the previous day.\* I heart predictive. And grammar. And smileys. =) ---

“I finally got to buy you a coffee! :-)” “We’ll drink over Pat’s dead body (mine’s coffee of course)” “Sure you don’t want a pint?” “So, how was the first post-divorce date?” “If I’m not great by Monday I’m getting drugs!” In order- Bought the band a round, first love dropped dead this week, brother stood me up at the pub today, best friend went out on a date, I’m catching a cold right before vacation & my husband already has strep. 😃 ---

Last two days worth, sent and received… me: Not done yet. Almost me: Now I am done. Another six stars. (was letting my ex know I wasn’t done taking a test and then letting him know that I finished and he owes me another 6 gold stars {I get one for each 100}) ex: Congrats. My attempt to get into the Christmas spirit failed. Signing on in a moment. me: What were you trying to do with your spirit? (I totally mis-read his text. And he was signing on to World of Warcraft) ex: The Christmas spirit. Was trying to get into it. me: I know. Why though? (I had figured out what he meant and wanted to know why it failed. We finished this conversation while playing WoW) ex: I still feel like a wet blanket! me: Lol, you’re not. It’s not as though I’ve never gotten really tired. ex: I know. And, I’m fine with it being you. me: LMAO (It was about 12:30 at night and he was falling asleep while playing WoW. I do this a lot but he still felt like a tool) ex: Ok. Sleep well hot stuff. me: You too. (We’re not your typical ex couple. He’s my best friend - as if you hadn’t guessed by now) ex: About to sign on. me: k (I was waiting for him on WoW. Bastard takes an hour to get up and get ready to play. Takes me about 5 minutes) I rarely text anyone besides my ex-boyfriend. I have QWERTY soft keys. I hate it! I miss T9. I actually type about 80WPM but on phones I type faster with T9. ---

Looking back on that train of abbreviated conversations, I realized I stopped one snippet too soon. This came right before me finishing my test. me: What are you doing? ex: Contemplating man’s role in the universe vs. our impact on the planet…oh and masturbating. me: oh my. (even though I know him very very well, the masturbating thing totally caught me off guard and had me laughing so hard I got a cramp.) ---

Oh my god mine are bad. I can assure you they were not as they seem: 1. I think she smelled your mouthwash last time she sucked his dick. 2. I thought it was cotton candy but couldn’t tell if that was him or you or Shan. 3. For a man that claims not to have eaten pussy since Spin Doctors were popular you sure do seem to like the sloppy seconds from it. 4)No thanks, I actually do draw the line at some things. 1. I’m almost home. 2. Mullet - right behind you! _(yes, I had to include this one even though it’s over 5!)_ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-recent-text-messages/476817.md?page=2)
