so I wonder if incoming college students will be all over the texting soon. For short stuff like "r u open??"
Yeah, undoubtedly.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, jeez -- I just got a message about a power surge on a USB port, and then I realized I was kind of idly sticking a paper clip into the USB port on the side of my dock thing. Oops!

Punishingly Intricate
I generally text for three reasons - sending the same message to multiple people, when I don't need an answer (i.e. a text saying I'm going to be late), or when I know that the person's in a loud place.
This is me. Also, there are certain people I text with way more often then we talk on the phone. Like my guitarist, texting is his main mode of communication.
Texting helped me out of a verrrry awkward potential dating situation last year, actually.

The theatre students I know text like crazy! I think way more than they IM.

I do think the Kids These Days text a lot more than people my age -- even coworkers five years younger are way more about the texting.

Interestingly, we are open nearly all the time. Like, 24/7 from noon on Sunday to 6pm on Friday. Yet still people IM to ask if we are open.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Hivemind question: do you text from your cell phone? Why or why not? Do you think texting is becoming increasingly popular?
I do not text. It's annoying to me because I don't have a full keyboard, I hate text spelling, and I pay for text messages. While I do have a cell phone, I rarely use it. When I'm out and about, I like being incommunicado. Gives me a break.
