Text messaging....what an interesting communication method. And I have been using it more and more over the last 2 years. It's almost come to the point where I would rather communicate with someone via text message then talk to them on the phone. Maybe it's because I hate the bullshit (and always have) like 'Oh Hi - how are you?' 'How is your mom?' 'Did you ever get that wart taken care of that you told me about?'. I mean it's one thing if I am spending face time with you - I may inquire these things, but if I call you (or am thinking about calling you) it's because I want something (well, 99.6% of the time. Mom's = phone time). So that's where text messaging comes in. I can send 1 sentence and get an answer, without the bullshit. Well unless the person doesn't respond to the text message, but then you know, they are busy, or they don't want to engage in communication with you.
Text messaging is a wonderful thing for me, until alcohol is introduced. I recently have come down with the 'drunk text messaging' disease and sometimes I feel like I need to find the cure. However, at other times, it has panned out magically. So I am having a hard time deciding if it's a good thing for me or not. There have been more times than I can count one 2 hands that I wake up the next morning and go 'fuck did I really send that' - check my text messages, and 'bam' there is some ridiculous message sent to some other mobile device somewhere out there. And then of course, in the spirit of not letting myself get depressed or down about things I do, I say to myself, "Oh well, what can you do about it now?".
