U ok?
from an 814 phone number, Friday, May 2, 6:52 AM
You know what always confuses me? Is how Australians and Britons say, "You okay?" as a way of saying, "How are you doing?" In America, of course, you wouldn't ask someone "You okay?" unless there was reason to suspect that she might not be... like if she looks tear-stained or ill, or if you know that something bad has just happened to her.
So if this is a text from an American, then I want to know what might have happened to Leila that would make 814 questions whether she's okay. And if this is a text from an Australian, then I want to say, Curses, you have confused me yet again.

FWD: Hi matt , can we go with 3 days and increase if need additional days? (to conserve). thx
from a 949 phone number, Friday, May 2, 12:07 AM
I wonder why Matt thought this question was important enough to forward to Leila. He also forwards it without comment (like, he doesn't say anything like, "Debbie asked me this question. Do you know how I should answer her?"), so he must assume that Leila would know exactly what to do with this message.
Frankly, speaking as a Leila, I have no idea what to do with this message. Three days of what? To conserve what? Money? I hope the intended Leila would be more on top of things than I am.

Hey bring ur sleeping bag a towel and wash cloth and fun
from a 713 phone number, Wednesday, April 30, 9:56 PM
SLUMBER PARTAAAAY!!!! Though I'm a little surprised by this packing list. Mostly by the "wash cloth" bit. I mean, you can take a shower and do without a washcloth, no problem. If this were my packing list, I would definitely replace "wash cloth" with "toothbrush." But I guess we all have our own priorities.

hey Leila I got a new phone and it has a full keyboard and a camera
from a 610 phone number, Wednesday, April 30, 7:10 PM
Whoa, my friend Emily got a new phone with a full keyboard and camera earlier this week, too! But I know this text isn't from her. Because she is not from Philadelphia. Still, both Emily and 610 are now half as unique as they had originally thought they were.

This is actually kind of an awesome writing style. You have to focus on it, but you can still make out what 646 is saying. It reminds me of when I first learned to write, at the age of five, and I had no concept of leaving space between different words. It doesn't come naturally, you know.
Oh, and it sounds like it might be your birthday, 646? In which case, a hearty HAPPY BIRTHDAY from all of us here... uh... on the internet.

FWD: Fwd:FWD: Squeeeeeez! You've been given a hug! I WANT ONE BACK! If u get 1-3 ur cute, 4-6 ur hot. Here's one at least u know ur loved by someone
from a 765 phone number, Monday, April 28, 8:49 PM
"At least u know ur loved by someone"? Ouch.
I find it so sad and postmodern that a texted hug should be in such high demand, and that it supposedly an indicator of how attractive you are, not to mention how loved you are. I very rarely get texted hugs-- and never any that are actually intended for me-- and I don't know if this means that I am not even cute, or if it just means that I am over the age of 13, or what.

Can u send me that pic of grace smilling plz
*chauntel*
from a 978 phone number, Sunday, April 27, 9:38 PM
I read this text message aloud to my mother, who, anxious to be of use, provided me with a number of insightful comments to use here, including, "Does that mean there are a lot of photos of Grace NOT smiling? If so, why not? Is this the only photo in which Grace smiles?"
I was like, "God, Mom, I am the blogger here! You don't even know what a text message IS!"
But, credit where credit is due: If my mother knew what text messages were, and knew how to update a blog, hers would probably be better than this one.

from a 518 phone number, Saturday, April 26, 6:15 PM
Sometimes people sing this song to me. Mostly strangers in bars who are making a poor, misguided, drunken attempt at hitting on me. But sometimes even actual people who I know. I usually smile at them and don't correct them, but what I always want to tell them is that my name is not pronounced like Layla.
Perhaps this Leila's name is, though. Let's hope.

It would be funny! But i dont think squirrelinator would fit on my license plate..but i found by prom dress its red and makes my boobs look big! Haha :)
from an 828 phone number, Friday, April 25, 4:28 PM
This is the same 828 who has been having such an acrimonious relationship with Leila over the past couple weeks. Since I have now both texted and telephoned her to explain that her texts are not going through, I frankly cannot think how else to get this message through to her. I give up (at least for now).
I wonder where the nickname "squirrelinator" comes from. Nicknames always have amazing back stories. At least, amazing to the people who made them up. Sometimes not to anyone else.

Come sleep with me please just sleeping, nothing else. I need to hold you.
from a 702 phone number, Friday, April 25, 3:24 AM
I was absolutely fast asleep when I received this text. (I know, I know, I shouldn't leave my phone on while I'm sleeping, but I couldn't help it; I was expecting a phone call this morning.) I woke to the sound of my phone vibrating, looked at the text, was unable to make heads or tails of it, and decided to go to the bathroom.
When I came back to my room, I read the text again, just in case it was important, at which point I decided it probably was. I didn't want some poor 702 lying in bed alone and crying just because I can't get my act together to type a few words in the middle of the night.
So I sent my standard "Your text message didn't reach Leila" yada yada message, only to receive this in response:
This guy i used to date sent that to me and on ur blog u analyze texts and i wanted 2 no wat u thot
from a 702 phone number, Friday, April 25, 3:36 AM
This is an astonishing use of cell phone technology that had never even occurred to me. I mean, it takes some patience, for one. For all 702 knew, I wouldn't get around to posting and commenting on this text for another week.
Furthermore, it assumes that I actually KNOW SOMETHING; i.e. that my commentary on her ex-boyfriend's text message might be in some way helpful or enlightening. I feel rather weighed down with responsibility.
So, okay, 702. You wanted 2 no wat I thot? Here's what I think:
1. A text message like this is always flattering, because it's an ego boost to believe that boys have trouble getting over you.
2. When boys claim in the middle of the night that they just want to sleep with you, "nothing else," they are lying.
3. If you might be interested in getting back together with this boy, then that's a conversation you need to have in daylight hours, looking at this all in a "big picture," "long-term" sort of way.
4. If you're not interested in getting back together with this boy, then you should ignore him or text back, "No," or, "Stop it," or "I've already told you to leave me alone."
5. Under no circumstances should you be like, "Yeah, sure! I'll be right over!"
All that being said, you probably shouldn't listen to me. I make this stuff up as I go along.
I texted as much of that as I could fit into 160 characters back to 702, and here's what she replied:
Yehhh he sounds really desperate too.. Very unattractive lol
from a 702 phone umber, Friday, April 25, 3:43 AM
BOYS, TAKE NOTE: NO ONE LIKES DESPERATION. PLAY IT COOL.
Then I went back to sleep.

passed d interview w amor. they will find next week kung 10 year visa. i do nt know wher s ima
from a 323 phone number, Thursday, April 24, 11:44 PM
Lot of different languages going on here. "Amor" is Latin and Spanish for "love." (Though, in this context, I think it's referring to Amor Ministries, since they seem to deal with visa-type things.) "Kung" sounds like a Chinese name, as in "kung fu." Meanwhile "Ima" is Hebrew for "mother."
Even though I don't know what language we're operating in here, this still seems like very good news. Getting a 10 year visa is extraordinary. I'm a little surprised 323 uses no exclamation points. This is at least as exciting as that text I got a few weeks ago that said, "Wats goin on.!!!!!?????"

Yeah but i cant, my moms being a huge bitch, im really sorry
from a 978 phone number, Thursday, April 24, 7:38 PM
Moms were such a great way to get out of things back in high school. If you didn't want to go, you could just say, "My mom totally sucks and won't let me." And what are your friends supposed to say to that? They can't blame you; obviously you WANT to be there. And they can't be like, "Yeah, your mom DOES suck"-- because, dude, she's your mom!
It's a lot harder to work this excuse once you're an adult.
