So.. my phone comes with unlimited pix and txt, and it's a good thing it does. I txt more than I talk; all day, through the night.
Texting is just so much easier than calling; short & sweet, to the point. And you don't have to reply til you want to. It's easier to avoid going out with someone you don't like, because between their txt saying, "want to hang out tonight?" and your reply back saying, "sorry, plans with friends" you can make those plans by texting a better option. It's not like if someone calls you are allowed to say, "can you hang on a minute while I call someone I'd rather hang out with, and I'll let you know if I'm free then?" Yeah. Doesn't fly over too well. Although it also doesn't give super thick-headed boys a hint, either.
The other best thing about texting is that you can send pics (and videos!) which can be highly entertaining. On the phone you can try to describe something going on, but via txt you can send that picture right along, and afterall, a picture IS worth 1,000 words.
Texting while driving ("TWD"), however, is not a good idea. I got in a slight accident yesterday due to this, but no one was hurt, no harm done to either car, and the woman was super nice, swapped info and said she'd let me know if she noticed anything but "everything seems fine!" and drove off. Yay for people who don't try to make a big deal out of nothing (seriously, we were going less than 5mph, the light had just turned). Anyway, TWD is actually worse than driving while drunk, so I'd suggest to all to try to cut that habit - even if you don't live in California where it will soon be illegal.
And little makes this girl feel better than to hear that sound of a new txt (or, the rumble of the phone on vibrate, as it has been for a few weeks now because I got tired of going back-and-forth when I was at work/home) and seeing a message like, "Happy Friday." Now that, my friends, is the way to start a day at work.
Txt, it's the new black.
