HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
from a 281 phone number, Saturday, February 14, 3:05 PM

It's only 3:15 PM, so there will probably be more where these texts come from. But for now, a HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY to all you Leila Texters out there, too!

There must have been a more parsimonious way of getting across this message. Kids these days! You give 'em 160 characters, and they use every goddamn one.

Hey should i still go tomorrow?
from a 774 phone number, Thursday, February 12, 4:37 PM

Go where? I mean, yeah, you probably should still go, since you were supposed to go in the first place. I don't know. Why isn't this a Valentine's Day text? Valentine's Day is in like 30 hours; shouldn't I really be getting more texts asking various Leilas out on dates?

Done
from a 516 phone number, Wednesday, February 11, 5:08 PM

This was my first word, when I was learning how to speak. As you can tell, it's a very useful one.

Happy birthday to leila
from a 703 phone number, Tuesday, February 10, 1:16 AM

Have you ever found that it's so difficult to send a unique "happy birthday" text or write a unique "happy birthday" note on someone's facebook wall? Writing "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" in all caps doesn't help (everyone does that). Adding on a bunch of exclamation points, like, "happy birthday!!!!!!" also doesn't help (everyone does that, too). Writing "happy birthday to leila" is a little more unique than simply "happy birthday, leila," but not by much.

This is one of those problems of modernity that I struggle with constantly.

FWD: Hey send me those videos :)
from a 774 phone number, Wednesday, February 11, 3:34 PM

This seems like a very normal text message to send. Unless "those videos" are snuff films. In which case this would not be a very normal text message.

are you up? im in the ER. LRQ pain. it hurts bad. thinking abt taking pain meds want to let someone know. please call me
from a 510 phone number, Monday, February 9, 4:54 AM

Jesus Christ. I can't figure out what LRQ pain is, but it sounds not good. And I think if you've made it as far as the Emergency Room, then it is definitely time for some pain meds.

I texted 510 when I woke up this morning to say that Leila hadn't received his text and that I hoped he was feeling better. I didn't hear back from him, though. I hope that doesn't mean he's in a coma or anything.

hi
:(
from a 703 phone number, Saturday, February 7, 10:35 PM

Why the frowny face? "Hi" seems like a kind of positive message, actually.

Just to let you know that i did not receive a check yet. Didn't want to bother you with a phone call.
from an 832 phone number, Saturday. February 7, 5:20 PM

I texted this person back to say that Leila didn't receive his message. Money is a sensitive matter, and I didn't want 832 believing that Leila is a purposeful deadbeat or something.

hey so how was town center
URTLEZ ROCK=8)
from an 843 phone number, Saturday, February 7, 4:24 PM

This reminds me of that scene in Wet Hot American Summer where they go into town for an hour and wind up in a crack den. I mean, how do you think town center was?

Hey this is leila texting you and ims using carolines phone that is very hard to text with
from a 913 phone number, Saturday, February 7, 11:26 AM

Either Leila is texting herself from Caroline's phone (which would be weird), or this Leila is friends with yet another Leila (which would also be weird). Weird all around.
