Sometimes you pass the point of ebonics or Shakespearean English or anything like that and you essentially create your own, unique language. That is what's happening here.

I looked quick but only saw gaited & quarter treed saddles prices range from around $399-$1200 big range huh. r u guys coming sunday 2 cleanup day @ club?
from a 716 phone number, Friday, April 16, 7:04 PM

I feel like 716 and Leila might be equestrians. Yes?

So u found a new friend
from a 413 phone number, Sunday, April 18, 6:08 PM

I wonder if 413 means "new friend" like the Concrete's song "New Friend": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5wfCdzUtA8

we found a new house and we are renting it d0 n0t tell anyone not even your parents and brother
from a 510 phone number, Sunday, April 18, 7:07 PM

This sounds really intense. Why can't Leila tell anyone that 510 is renting a new house? That seems like a pretty big deal to keep a secret. Also, is it a problem that I'm now telling the Internet at large?

just practice with lawyer , went well. got to meet her at 1230 in court house will txt when is over , around 3 or so .
from a 917 phone number, Monday, April 19, 11:08 AM

Though it seems unlikely, I like to pretend that 917 is a criminal of some sort.

what the hell is 300 on your oven?
from a 215 phone number, Monday, April 19, 5:58 PM

Shouldn't it just say "300" on the dial? What, is this oven measured in Celsius or something? Kelvins?

Put 95.7

Cheating on chemistry problem sets?

Just heard that rita died yesterday:-(
from a 267 phone number, Tuesday, April 20, 10:55 AM

Oh, no. I wonder who Rita was? I hope Leila and 267 are doing okay.

Okay, dear Leila Texters! I am back in America! And also it is my birthday! And also I have one million text messages to transcribe! So, you can see, a lot has happened over the past two weeks. Let's just get right into it.

This is a stop-motion animation of a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly and then flying into the sun (or possibly the moon). It has been viewed sixteen times. Guys, I think that with a little bit of our can-do spirit, we can more than double that number. Who is with me?

Happy Easter!! have a good day
from a 443 phone number, Sunday, April 4, 12:22 PM

Hi Leila happy easter day I hope you have fun today.

from a 302 phone number, Sunday, April 4, 4:07 PM

And a happy belated Easter to all of you, dear Leila Texters!

While I have your attention, readers: I'm leaving this evening for ITALY with my lovely and talented friend Allie (whose photos you can see down at the bottom of this webpage). I won't be updating this blog while I'm gone because, duh, you don't receive Leila Texts out of Verizon's service area. I'll be back in eight days. If this seems an impossibly long time to wait for more text messages, and you just can't kill quite enough time on facebook, there are two and a half years of archives here. It can probably keep you busy.

See you in mid-April!

Congrats on iGreat Performance. Love Bama
from a 914 phone number, Sunday, April 4, 11:24 AM

Wow, President Obama is texting Leila to congratulate her on a Great Performance? That is so exciting! Sometimes President Obama texts me, too, but usually he is saying something like, "Thank you for all your support. Together, we did it," and I have this sneaking suspicion like the texts are actually written by his interns.

Hi idk why im txting u but hi :D uhh tomorrow wheres tutor?? my house or kat?
from a 714 phone number, Thursday, April 1, 6:06 PM

You don't know why you're texting Leila, 714? Really? Because I think you're texting her to find out where tutoring is happening tomorrow. Just a guess.

good morning babe ! sorry about lastnight i passed right out when got home have good day i love you
from a 518 phone number, Thursday, April 1, 7:32 AM

Depending on the nature of their relationship and what they were planning to do last night, Leila may be either totally understanding or unspeakably enraged. As my best friend, Allie, once said, "Hell hath no sad resignation like a woman scorned."

anything else like should i find a new job?
from an 815 phone number, Wednesday, March 31, 5:09 PM

"Okay, so you've told me we have to sell our house, and our son got expelled from school, and you're a drug dealer. That's cool. Anything else I should be made aware of? Like should I find a new job or whatever? Just curious."

bad connection. anyway call the main post office in jersey city. you may be able to get one there same day for family emergency. im here to help.
from a 551 phone number, Tuesday, March 30, 4:33 PM

Oh, no! I wonder what Leila's family emergency is? What can you get same-day from a post office? (Other than stamps.)

Hey could you grab my stroller from church. It’s a green graco one. It going to goodwill if we dont get it and we in kingston. Luana going to look.

from a 218 phone number, Saturday, March 27, 6:53 PM

Ooh, Nikki, I hate to say this, but you might want to start shopping for a new stroller.

Who else is coming over
from an 808 phone number, Saturday, March 27, 5:37 PM

Hey lela when are you gonna call.
from an 808 phone number, Saturday, March 27, 7:55 PM

How come your not texting me.mira
from an 808 phone number, Saturday, March 27, 8:00 PM

Leila is never going to call, Mira. Because she hates you. Sorry.

Hi leila i know your mad at me right now, and i just wanted to say im sorry that i upset you and hurt your feelings and i hope you can forgive me
from a 718 phone number, Sunday, March 28, 2:42 PM

Oh, no! Why is Leila mad? What did 718 do to hurt her feelings? Will Leila ever forgive her?

I wrote back to say that Leila didn’t receive this text. It seemed important.

‘Tis the season for baby showers, apparently.

I am getting into shower. If early come on in
from a 419 phone number, Tuesday, March 30, 12:01 PM

This reminds me of the Third Eye Blind song “Blinded.” No? Is that just me?
