Texts from Last Quarter

Recently my cell phone informed me that its memory was near full.   Apparently keeping over 2,000 texts in my inbox will do that.  During a time-wasting meeting masquerading as a "class,"  I deleted, one by one, over 400 texts from my phone.   Unable to find a way  to delete all my texts at once, I reasoned that I had nothing better to do during class, and started with the oldest texts in my phone from August and September. 

Some of my favorites include:

(678): Ooo your name is Steph

(240): Dear self, remember to date people tomorrow.

(316): Comme des enfants, couer de pirate
(this one is interesting as the number is not saved in my phone, and I have no idea who was french-texting me)
(949): I didn't know soda expired

(508): I just realized I've made out with half the people in this room.  Fml.

(949): I'm not interested in sleeping with women.

(949): Buutluvrmatt sent me another message.

(802):  Im not going out ne more I wanna stay with the tigers.

I really enjoy reading texts months after they were sent, as I no longer remember the context and can just imagine that my friends are all buckeyes (aka nuts).


In other news, I was misinformed that a certain prominent member of the Ohio State community died yesterday (will avoid using the name here as I do not want to again start rumors that he's dead), and I proceeded to inform several people that I work with.  Upon receiving a text today that he didn't actually die, it was someone else, I had the pleasure of going around my office to say "Great news.... he's still alive!!"

I then had to apologize to the people who went home after work last night, googled this person and read about his life in mourning.  Oops.  From now on, I don't announce deaths unless I personally witnessed them happen.
