F*ck texting!

Rev. Jordan T. Maxwell · May 19th, 2011, 9:21 am

there's also the notion to me of there being an artifact. if someone says something particularly sweet or funny or flirty or whatever, i like to be able to go back and read it again for a quick burst of nostalgia. of course it's also nice to hear such things in person and have that personal memory to revisit, but even the best memory is a faulty archivist and prone to random deletion and embellishment. which can also be nice.

basically, i want people to tell me good stuff via every medium possible.

My texting rules:
Only if it's too loud
or inappropriate to talk but is acceptable to text
or if it's no more than ONE question with a simple answer
or if it's really funny or really drunky.

It has been far too long since I've received funny drunken texts. Clearly my social circle has censored themselves too much or stopped drinking. Whatever it is, they're doing it wrong.

I have to admit I have a small collection of these, starting with one from Sarah Marie (whom I'd practically just met) from when we were at TCIF a few years back. I'd started off on foot at 2 or 3 AM from our hotel room in search of food saying carelessly, "If I'm not back in 45 min. I'm probably dead in an alley - don't wait up". About 46 min. later I'm hiking up through Loring Park and my phone goes off. SMC has texted "DON"T DIE!!!!".

So there I am in the park in the dead of night laughing my a** off. Good times.

I also have an extended series of texts to/from Kim Fox (CSz San Antonio) that stretches the limit of double entendres one can make concerning stripper poles and and one from a certain AIC friend informing me that she has just run into a woman who was flirting a bit with me right in front of Lisa. The text reads, in part, "I ran into that woman again... I punched her in the vagina so she can never have children."

Too funny to delete - so this bit I understand.

I would love a drunk texting club. Our meeting would consist of drunkenly texting each other on the rare drunken occasion.

We would need a password probably... A password that a drunk person could remember...

How about "drunk". Double service as a password & a warning.

i saved my old cell phone JUST so i could hold on to some of the text messages on it (since they couldn't be transferred to my new phone).

and i will surely be in the drunk text club!

Oh, does caffeine count? Then us non-drinkers can play too!

SarahMarie · Post by **SarahMarie** » May 19th, 2011, 2:51 pm

YES!!! THis is happening!

Hell yes.

But you need a lot of it. BOTTOMLESS CUPS!

OT: Speaking of, what's a good coffee shop central/downtown and/or East (that's not Hot Mama's or on campus) with parking?

Terry, I'm not sure you and I have met - but ask anyone who does know me about my strict diet of lo-carb Monster Energy drinks. I'll qualify.

but, like...beer still counts too, right?
