say words

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.

Now Featuring...Saucy and the Photo Booth

I made a new friend last night. His name is Sauce...or Saucy. He is Krissie's new MacBook (which is made by Apple...Apple Sauce....Sauce. I'm a terrific namer of objects). After institute last night, Krissie pulled ol' Saucy out of his fabulous and tres posh digs and we walked down memory lane. We were laughing at photos of us from Europe and at our Camera Game photos.

Krissie and I love the Camera Game. We started it in Paris which makes it even cooler. You basically just take the camera and aim it at yourselves and start making faces and arbitrarily pushing the button. It's amazing. Fantastically amazing. Krissie and I probably have over 100 photos of us from multiple playings of this game. A hotel bed in Paris, Louise's couch in Dunton Green, the train to London, a BYU apartment couch, a BYU apartment kitchen, my friend Sean's house on New Years Eve, and now the stake center have all been venues in this adventure of ours.

Let me tell you. You are never hotter than when you play this game. Last night, however, we hit a new dimension...the photo booth on the mac book. Now we had "effects" to play with. Just wait till I get those pictures to share. Christy joined in on the fun and at one point we were laughing so hard I admitted to C and K that I peed a little. We had to control the laughter after that and on the way home we had laughter hang overs. I love laughing like that. So that's my happiness for the week. Laughing. A lot. and my friends who laugh with me. They are awesome.

Now Featuring...

Let's see. What made me happy this week? Seeing as I've done a whole lot of sleeping and not much else, my happy thought for this week goes to Krissie.

Yesterday I stayed home from work. I slept through 3 alarms (by mistake) and the morning noises of everyone else in my house leaving for work. I woke up at 9:30 and just called into work - I'm sure they assumed this was going to be the case since I usually get to work at 8AM. Then I went back to sleep. I spent most of the day getting up and doing stuff for about 20-30 minutes then laying down and napping some more. It was what I needed (still need actually as a full day at work is quite exhausting at the mo') and it made me feel a little better.

Around lunch time, though, I got a text from Krissie asking if I was at work. I wasn't. Then she showed up at my house with ice cream! Seriously. How amazingly sweet was that? I felt horrible because I couldn't really swallow most of the ice cream - but the gesture and the visit made my week. She stayed around for a bit (luckily for her, it was my most awake and functioning bit of the day) and we just talked about stuff.

I miss my Krilifis when she is gone and I love that we can just be natural and happy with each other no matter how much time has passed. So, thanks again Krissie. I love you, you know.
