I'll never think I'm cool, but this was kind of funny to me.
So the other night, I'm texting while driving.
Wait- I only did it at red lights, so don't harass me.
This is how it went...
*Me, wondering how a certain person was doing, when the song "Hey There Georgie Girl" pops in my head.*
"My, you're a clever girl!" I think to myself, "I think I'll text that to her!"
*cut to me scrolling through the old fashioned way*
I type,
"Hey there"
and it sends.
Rats.
"Oh well, I'll just send "Georgie girl" next..."
*cut to me watching the light and trying to spell Georgie*
I type,
"George"
and it sends.
Dang it!
And I drive off.
(Heh, heh, that's from Napoleon Dynamite)
So I'm like, "Great! I just sent her a message that says "Hey there...George" so she probably thinks I sent her it by mistake."
*Cut to me thinking some more*
"Oh crap! She probably thinks I have some secret boyfriend named George!"
So then I send a message that says,
"I shouldn't text while drive"
and it sends.
*cut to me hitting my forehead*
"NOW she probably thinks I'm an idiot who can't text!"
Oh wait.
I am.
I should just stick with calling.
At red lights, of course.
It'll have to be short and sweet.
Something like,
"I just called to say, I love you."
*click*
Because I do.

I am texting challenged. I have never even texted at all! So you are way ahead of me!
Carrot, your post made me LOL! Do you think you have Texting Deficiency Syndrome? ;)
I always try to say to much while texting and run out of space. It takes me so long that it would be faster to just call! :D
I just hand my phone back to one of the kids and tell them what to type. SO much easier!

Is that what I feel when I sit down at the end of a long day?
I think I had about 10 text messages before I ever even knew what it was ; )
I could give you some tips. Texting is kind of my thing.
When my last phone was on it's last leg it would call people and text people by itself.
That girl on the phone in her car is awesome! I want one of those, that way I would never have to look for my lost cell phone again.
One way to cut down on the texting? Don't have it on your plan. I've survived so far, but people look at me like I have 3 heads sometimes.
I love texting! I also do it at red lights! The girls and I send movie lines and song lines to each other all the time!! It's too fun! Good to see you last week btw, short but good to get a hug!!
I'm just smiling because I'm Texting challenged too. I'm one of those Mothers Against Text Driving people too. Besides, when it takes me 5 minutes to type 5 words back, its SO not worth it.
Texting works great for those of us who really don't like people.
ROFL! Ok, obviously not advocating texting while driving - even at red lights - but when you do (as I do too sometimes), don't bother looking at the light, just wait for the honk behind you, lol!
There are only two lights on my way to and from work I can read emails or whatever... they are L O N G ! ! ! So I can type a novel if I want :p
I actually can
text pretty proficiently, the problem
I have is with leaving comts
I mean, "comments" on blog posts
I love to text! My kids say I text like a teenager.
Whatev that means?
For example:
Me: Dude
Other: Dude
Me: Dude
Other: I know
Me: Right
Other: Totally
Me: U R my fav
Other: g2g
Me: c u l8tr
Just an example. That's my life.
One liners - no personal interaction = good.
Public service announcement: Don't text and drive, have your kids do it for you. Even if you have to spell every. single. word. over and over again. Until you get home, and then you could just tell the recipient in person.
Oh well.
Carrot, your friends understand your coolness.
Its all good
