Everybody texts messages here, it’s a cheap and easy way to communicate with (or to harass) people.  This is a random, inane message I got from one of my admirers awhile ago (the spelling mistakes are all his):

“Hey. Am in my way home. home whr the dearest person in a lifetime lives that is u Aleson. pls make no plans friday night. We r going out 4 Dinner. Looking forward to seeu. warmest greetings to a beautiful blue eyes.”

My eyes are green.

My friend Sally got this one:

“A star has 5 ends, a square has 4 end, a traiangel has 3 ends, a life has 1 end, a circale has no end, so I hope our friendship will be like a circale. Welcom my friend.”

She met him at a cafe one night and spoke with him for two minutes before receiving this message.  Very romantic, no?
