did u take my charger
prema to most, mom to 3
from a 740 phone number, Monday, March 8, 7:16 AM

It's been nearly a month since we last heard from Prema to most, mom to 3. I guess her cell phone charger was just THAT important, that she was willing to break her radio silence to ask Leila about it.

Lemmi, you are going to have an amazing show. It has to come down a bit before rising!
from a 912 phone number, Sunday, March 7, 6:41 PM

I don't get this. Lemmi is going to have an amazing (music? art? horse?) show. Something has to come down a bit before "rising." Exclamation point. What?

tov motek! leila tov motek!
from a 310 phone number, Sunday, March 7, 2:43 AM

"Good sweetie! Good night sweetie!" (Or "good Leila sweetie," but if you think that's a double entendre that every Leila hasn't heard a million times, then you thought wrong.)

from an 804 phone number, Sunday, March 7, 12:10 AM

"Hi, my name's 804, and I am in college."

Viana is eatting spagetti

Me, too!

Why do u both care? i did nothing. so peter doesnt like me any more, im gonna ask why
from a 917 phone number, Saturday, March 6, 8:00 PM

There's a lot going on in this text. I'm a big fan. As far as I can tell, what happened is that Peter used to like 917, but now he doesn't, but 917 didn't do anything, it's not her fault. So she's going to ask him what the hell happened. Meanwhile Leila and someone else are being all peanut gallery about the whole thing, which is why Leila is finally snapping, to be like, "Why do you both care what goes on between me and Peter?" Answer: They are your friends. Of course they care.

are you done with your lessions yet?
from a 757 phone number, Friday, March 5, 6:56 PM

This is as likely to mean "lesions" as it is to mean "lessons."

"Hey, Leila, are you done with your lesions yet?"
"No, they're still covering my entire liver, unfort."

from a 707 phone number, Saturday, March 6, 8:44 PM

hey mom hope u had a awesome bday party!! love yah
from a 707 phone number, Sunday, March 7, 4:26 AM

Leila and her mom seem to have a pretty "laid-back relationship," like the kind where Leila doesn't even have to spell out full words or actually call her mother to wish her a happy birthday. Would your mom be okay with this, readers?

Taryen is dating matt morgan
from a 703 phone number, Friday, March 5, 5:03 PM

Okay, this is some hot gossip, guys! I devoted roughly one and a half minutes to facebooking Matt Morgan, and I can't figure out who he is, but if I COULD figure it out, then MAN this would be some gossip.

Tea party at tea rose garden in pasadena at 3pm, their number is 626578xxxx if u want more info. Maybe we can carpool.call me after 4
from an 818 phone number, Friday, March 5, 1:28 PM

Goddammit, why is the only tea party that I've been invited to this year 3,000 miles away from me? I LOVE tea parties! A link to the Tea Rose Garden, by the way. Let's give them some love.

Lei jas has someone who might want to join but she turn 18 in Oct. Aloha Molhalapua
from an 808 phone number, Friday, March 5, 3:51 AM

I guess you have to be 18 years old to join whatever this thing is. A cigarette club?

No jail for mike. He gets another month to get clean. I guess crime does pay!
from a 216 phone number, Thursday, March 4, 1:14 PM

This is the second jail-related text of the week. They don't seem to be related. Do we think Mike is a heroin addict, or a drunk driver, or what?

hi leila i love you smile
from a 603 phone number, Wednesday, March 3, 8:32 PM

Aw, I like this one! And see, 603 is complimenting Leila simply because she wants to, not like 708 over here who just did it so that some boy would like her more.

wat you doing
from a 757 phone number, Wednesday, March 3, 8:21 PM

wat you doing right now?
from a 757 phone number, Thursday, March 4, 6:22 PM

just text me something back when u get this message
from a 757 phone number, Thursday, March 4, 6:52 PM

More overinvolved blah blah blah. It seems in the final text here like maybe 757 is catching on to the fact that Leila's not getting these texts, so, with any luck, they will stop soon. Also good would be if 757 got angry with Leila for not replying and really let her have it. I mean, I guess that would be sad, but at least it would be more interesting than these constant inquiries into Leila's current status.

heyyyyy watcha doin
from a 408 phone number, Wednesday, March 3, 8:16 PM

hey girl
from a 407 phone number, Thursday, March 4, 7:12 PM

I miss you my booboo
from a 406 phone number, Thursday, March 4, 8:11 PM

Does anyone else find it weird that, in the past 12 hours, I have received texts from the 408, 407, and 406 area codes? What's next-- 405?

from a 623 phone number, Wednesday, March 3, 8:08 PM

Keep trying, Q-Dog, but you have already lost the Best Nickname on the Leila Texts This Week contest. Frogs are more unique than dogs. That's just the way of things.

still here. compressor shop just came to get the part to compress onto wheel hub. they work o slow. should be returning wirh part to put car back.
from a 201 phone number, Tuesday, March 2, 11:12 AM

201's car seems to be broken, but in ways that make no sense to me. This is where you readers can really "step up to the plate," if you are car aficionados. Or, you can just make something up.

Can O plug into working one on one with Richard. She gets the prospect to view the video with her and then the lack of funds blocks her. Sorry so late.
from an 808 phone number, Tuesday, March 2, 5:19 AM

She just got through with someone in vegas. She is right there but now needs to feel the tipping point. We both gotta work during the day. She said she
from an 808 phone number, Tuesday, March 2, 5:22 AM

Wants to do it fulltime. she has come a long way. Lol. Call me in the morning.
from an 808 phone number, Tuesday, March 2, 5:23 AM

I assume this has to do with some kind of business-related computer project. If this isn't business-related, it involves a ridiculous amount of jargon. But if it IS business-related, why is it happening in the middle of the night?

Hey can u through ur charger down stairs plz cuz i only have 1 bar
from a 360 phone number, Monday, March 1, 6:36 PM

When your parents don't allow you to yell in the house, and you can't muster the energy to walk all the way upstairs, texting your sister to throw the phone charger downstairs is a really foolproof plan. Plus, bonus, your parents will have no idea how you two communicated without speaking and will assume that you're PSYCHIC!

Wht up
Rubber Frogs:o
from a 717 phone number, Monday, March 1, 6:14 PM

Definitely the best nickname I've seen on the Leila Texts this week.
