Small glimpses into strangers' lives, courtesy of a technological glitch.

The car key is duck taped above rear license plate. You can not see it. Reach under where you grab to open the trunk. from a 440 phone number, Thursday, February 2, 9:03 AM EST
Guys, if we know where this car was parked, we could now totally STEAL A CAR!
When you send a text message on the Verizon network, you can address your text by choosing a name out of your contact list, or you can address it by typing in a phone number. You can also type in a name. And if you type in L-E-I-L-A, then-- bizarrely-- your text will come to me. This is a blog about the texts I have received. All of them are from strangers, intended for other Leilas, but obviously they missed their marks.
I get text messages intended for strangers named Leila. On average I receive five Leila Texts every day, and I've been getting them since the spring of 2007. I've collected thousands of these misdirected text messages now, and most of them (at least the interesting ones!) are chronicled on this blog. Oh, and if you were wondering: I pronounce my name like Lie-lah.
When I'm not receiving unsolicited text messages from strangers, I'm usually writing books. My novels MOSTLY GOOD GIRLS and PAST PERFECT are published by Simon & Schuster.
