Okay yes I will go out with you. As any of my exes can tell you, I am a sucker for poetry.

Christopher is truly a wunderkind.

Are we ordering pizza?! For $3 each, we should each get two slices. I am so ready to eat my two slices.

"Why? I don't know, just 'cause. Not because I stole $20 from my mom's wallet and blamed it on my brother or anything like that."

Thanks, that was all it took to cure Leila's seasonal affect disorder.

I LOVE HOT CHOCOLATE! And french toast. And bagels. Man, I really did miss out.

Okay, guys, I just got an iPhone, so I am attempting to make this a "modern blog" filled with "modern text messages." It's tough going, though. I can't even figure out how to talk on my iPhone, let alone edit images and then type up snarky commentary about them. Just bear with me while I get the hang of this.

It's a brave new world.

How awkward to schedule two dates on top of each other. What a social faux pas.

Heather asked if i like you i said as a friend yes
from a 541 phone number, Saturday, March 3, 1:55 PM EST

Still more from this guy. Who now, we learn, likes Leila "as a friend." Sorry to break this to you, but friends don't text friends every seven minutes. I think Heather is on to something.

Atassi Awe ....This was in my archives. FWD: I just started feeling flutters in my belly! Definitely not gas! :o)

Intended for this Leila. She's a reporter! That's a cool profession for another Leila to have.

Ugh. Thanks for this reminder about doing my taxes, 808. Just what I was in the mood for.

from a 323 phone number, Wednesday, February 22, 10:01 AM EST

I'm pretty good, but now I don't really feel comfortable saying that, since 323 has set the bar so high with her "awesome."

Do you still have leftover antibiotic?

People love to use the Leila Texts for drug deals. It gets old.

I think if you're going to illegally copy someone's homework, you probably don't want a paper trail about it. Or even a text trail.

Noon might be out for me, bad sleep and bad shot
from an 801 phone number, Tuesday, February 21, 10:06 AM EST

Yeah, I agree: if I'm texting Leilas at 3:35 AM, no way do I want to be meeting people at noon. I need my nine hours.

Hey leila this is joe joe if you are still going to the mall will you bring me home from there I am thinking about going with aliea
from a 330 phone number, Monday, February 20, 7:06 PM EST

When I was 12 and 13 years old, I like lived at the mall. I don't know what I was doing there. I didn't really have the money to buy things. Yet I was there constantly. Now I live in New York City and don't go to the mall at all. As Bob Dylan pointed out (about me going to malls): "The times, they are a-changin'."

werlein Talk 2morrow. Am stressed by interviews wrealtors. Sophie is so competent! Legal training shows. i love & miss u!,|[||
from an 847 phone number, Sunday, February 19, 11:55 PM EST

Okay, guys, this is good to know. Next time we need some help selling a house, let's all enlist Sophie.

Now, 847, as you know if you follow the Leila Texts regularly, is someone we have been hearing from for years. We know this because she starts all her texts "werlein." For example:

From 2009.
From 2010.

She is one of my most cherished pen pals.
