from a 313 phone number, Saturday, February 28, 3:06 PM

A lot of people seem to be involved in this text: Cheryl, Layal, Malek, Leila (of course), and some enigmatic "she," who may or may not be Layal. Not knowing a single one of these players, I'm having trouble grasping the overall gist of the thing.

419 is in such a rush for Leila to call him that he doesn't even have time to put spaces between his words!

Matt huchmalas pay. TOM IS ASKING.
from a 516 phone number, Friday, February 27, 3:46 PM

Can't find a Matt Huchmalas on facebook, though I did find some very interesting other Matts with similar last names. Why does every stranger on facebook look like such a tool?

So Heroes has gone down the drain. Very lame.

Has it really? Readers, weigh in with your opinions, and let's slowly take over this blog and turn it into a Heroes fansite.

Did 818 just call Leila a "caca butt"? Ew?

Yes, I promise that's an exact transcription. Do not underestimate the effort I will exert to provide you, my readers, with accuracy.

say hi to everybody there love you mom
from a 505 phone number, Sunday, February 22, 1:33 AM

Sweet, unless 505 was, at 1:33 AM on Saturday night, chilling at a strip club or challenging strangers to a game of beer pong (and I think we can safely say that's where we all were at 1:33 AM last night). In which case, saying hi to everyone there, from your mom, might come off as a little awkward.

want 2 play golf ?
from a 402 phone number, Friday, February 20, 6:30 PM

Yes! God, I just wait all week for the work week to end so that I can go play golf. TGIF!

what time are we meating there

from a 706 phone number, Friday, February 20, 6:02 PM

Sometimes people-- and I count myself in this number-- argue that kids are reading more nowadays than they have in the past. Even if they're not reading traditional printed material (books, newspapers), at least they're reading away messages and text messages, and that alone-- any sort of reading-- increases literacy skills.

Then I receive a text message that includes the word "meating," and I'm like, "Never mind."

b do u want me to maik out ur pols ?

from a 619 phone number, Thursday, February 19, 1:44 PM

Wait. Make out your what? I was hoping this was going to be a text about making out, but I don't think it is. I'm not positive, though.

hey did u eat lunch already 2dayam
from a 216 phone number, Thursday, February 19, 11:59 AM

No. It wasn't even noon yet. It was nearly noon, but not quite, and I am a big believer that the time has to be in the PM o'clock before I can eat lunch.

i like rita.
from a 510 phone number, Thursday, February 19, 1:00 AM

are you ok? ive sent lots of texts and no reponse makes me a bit worries. just let me know you are ok :p
from a 510 phone number, Thursday, February 19, 1:02 AM

Really? Because the only other text I saw from 510 is this one about liking Rita, that he sent two minutes before asking if Leila was okay. Plus, it was 1 AM. Perhaps Leila was, like me, asleep.

Regardless, I texted 510 back this morning so he would know there's nothing to worry about. Leila is probably fine.

I'm so excited for you! Please leave me a message tonight
from a 912 phone number, Wednesday, February 18, 8:19 PM

I am excited for Leila, too! I don't know why.

FWD: Love ya as my wife best friend lover my life miss u 2 much len
from a 215 phone number, Wednesday, February 18, 3:03 PM

Len. Please. If you had just deleted the "FWD:" at the beginning of this text, this would be so much more romantic! Your wife Leila would think you had come up with all this by yourself! Instead it just looks lazy, like sending her the very first Hallmark card that you happened to see at the Walgreens.

I wanna play
from a 646 phone number, Tuesday, February 17, 3:31 PM

Hey would you invite amanda over too
:]
from a 774 phone number, Tuesday, February 17, 6:02 PM

Who knew Tuesday was such a big evening for playdates?

AMBER ALERT!!!!!! 7 yr old girl just taken in Waverly TN..new silver pick up truck license plate 72B381..forward to everyone u know now please!!!
from a 901 phone number, Monday, February 16, 10:41 PM

The problem is, there are so many text message hoaxes that I really have trouble taking this message seriously. It might
be for real, but the odds are so stacked against it that, if I saw a silver pick-up truck sporting this license plate, I don't even know that I would do anything about it. Also, I just looked it up, and I couldn't find a listing for this Amber Alert. Is it sad that I have so little faith in people's truthfulness?

its gorgeous out
from a 646 phone number, Monday, February 16, 3:07 PM

646 is right around where I live, so I can vouch for the truth of this text. It was beautiful out at 3:07 PM. It's now 10:50 PM and it's cold as hell. But at 3:07, we were having a damn good day.

take a picture of faith and send to me
from an 865 phone number, Monday, February 16, 2:47 PM

Not when you don't even say "please"! You are not the boss of me!

Hey just to make sure its quarter to 1right?
from a 774 phone number, Monday, February 16, 11:16 AM

Actually, when you sent this, it was quarter past 11. So, no. But nice try.
