Like so many of you, I text. I'm a texter. I don't text like the kids text nowadays with all of your fyi, btw, bff, neway, n, y, etc. craziness, but it's safe to say that texting played a big part in helping me maintain friendships after I moved back home. It kept the lines of communication open (this was before everyone started blogging) and it kept things simple and relatively up to date. It's nice to know that you can always send a text whether it's just to say hello or to tell some urgent news or just to say "a hug".
Being a texter and having the friends I have, I have received quite a few random and funny texts. Being a sentimental sap who misses her friends, I have a bunch saved on my phone. I'm going to share those with you. Some of them stretch back to the summer I was still in Provo (July 2006) - that's two years ago, pretty much about the same time I bought the phone I have now. There's no reason why I've saved more than others from certain people (Megan and Curt) besides that those two people text me most often (other than Lauren, Alyssa and Christy - who mostly text me about everyday stuff like lunch and where to meet and what we are doing Friday night).
Miri:
"I'm pretty sure I was just groped by a girl." - from a concert (one of the ones I have kept the longest because it makes me laugh a lot)
Crinners:
"Oh honey...I'm gonna get get get u drunk. Get u love drunk off my hump! So...watcha gonna do w/ all that *** inside them jeans?!" - that would be a quote from "My Humps" by The Black Eyed Peas, which according to Will Ferrel is "provocative"
Curt: (disclaimer - Curt sends really funny random texts that make me pretty happy. Most of the ones I've kept have no context anymore or are inside jokes)
"It's a crowd pleaser."
"It's not my fault im so romantic!"
"My favorite's Gouda! (ha, my T9 didn't know how to spell Gouda)"
"I'll just throw my poem away then :)"
"I'm in line at graduation and i want to see it too - but i don't have cable yet." (yeah - he was texting me while in line at graduation AND from his sister's wedding while I was in MD watching HSM2)
"I'm fake standing in line at my sis wedding reception." "It sucks." "Having to fake liking it is the worst."
"It's okay, we're all in this together."
"Well sometimes life is hard, just not today."
"I kinda hate troy right now." (that would be a couple days after graduation when he got the chance to watch HSM2)
"I'm bored at work." (this was when I was trying not to text him because I was bored but knew he was working - like the exact same moment.)
"You're like my non-identical identical twin." "I think we should be on tv. and you should move back so we won't be bored anymore."
"You matter"
Megan:
"[Miri] just walked in and said, 'why is Prince William on my bed?'"
"Hehe. I like you."
"Hey, I'll be next door in the book house. We'll be sharing a wall so we have more space."
"Indeed. But we'll huddle for warmth and read about Edward and the cold will be more bearable."
"Well, way to look for meaning in crappiness. I'm proud of you."
"Quote of the day, from our dishwasher at work who is at least 70 - Marilyn: What are you doing, Jim? Jim: Whoever I can and the easy ones twice."
"Did I already tell you about seeing James McAvoy on Leno and hearing his amazing real accent or did I just think about it?"
Ben:
"I'd stick a peach pit in my bum for you."
"I miss you too, Mr. Lindle."
Krissie:
"delirium because of the amount of raging emotion pulsing in your veins from the closeness in proximity to a certain other party."
"I LOVE YOU"
There are more that I wish I had kept - especially some from Miri and my sister. Lauren texts me so much though I can't possibly save any of them. I like the ones telling me how cute my nephews are. Things along the line of letting me know that Monkey is singing his Jesus song, reading his Zizi book or Bug needs Zizi's "magic" arms.
So there you have it, my very random and funny friends send me very random and funny texts. I love it. They rock.

Pizza Pizza
This post is not about Little Caesars or Brick Oven pizza. I'm talking real, honest to goodness, tres delish pizza.
When I was in Utah in March for Miri's wedding, I went out to dinner with Curt. Curt is one of those people who is totally content and not weirded out by going out to eat or to the movies alone. He goes and looks for new, fun places to eat. That's how we found "our place"(Ultimate Broiler and Grill - delish Greek food) a few summers ago. He texted me a while back and said he found a fancy new place to go to when I came to visit so we went HERE. Pizzeria 712. It is hidden in that new complex on State street in Orem, one of the only things open there when we were there in March. But it was SO GOOD.
It's small and cozy, but posh. Something you would expect from NYC. The chefs and the oven are clearly visible behind the bar and there are as many tables as possible squished into the space. Curt loved the bathroom. haha. He made me go into the ladies room before we left even though I didn't really need to just to see the design. It was really nice. It reminded me a lot of Paris. They brought out small glasses with carafes of water. The pizza was amazing. Simple and yummy. We had what amounted to a meat lovers - only the meat was prosciutto and something else I can't remember how to spell. If you live in Utah (or are ever in Orem) - go to Pizzeria 712. It's a fun atmosphere with delicious food. (check out the menus - and the times. Nothing more than $12)
My next favorite pizza place is California Pizza Kitchen, but not because of the pizza. Although the pizza there is very good (it doesn't compare with the above mentioned pizza) my heart belongs to the Thai Crunch Salad (half size, with avocado) with a Hummus appetizer. It's good every time. I love all the crunchy bits in the salad. Thai crunchy noodles, peanuts, and those weird white crunchy things. And it has edamame. So. Freaking. Good.
So now that I've made myself incredibly hungry so these specific foods. I'm going to go pretend it's not only 10:30 in the morning and try to make it to lunch time when I will probably be feasting on the tres chic Way of the Sub.
