Me [8/12 11:31]: Hey what's up.
Her [11:36]: Hey...ummm...
Her [8/13 00:23]: Hey did you give my number out to some guy? (
Note: I didn't, I was at a small party and some dickhead got my phone, sifted through my contacts and decided to call this broad to harass her. This was originally a damage-control text.)
Me [00:31]: No y.
Her [00:33]: Oh just this guy just called me earlier and said some horrible things about _____________ (her ex) and that you and him went to the same school, whats up with that?
Me [00:37]: What are you talking about? I've been hanging out at my place watching TV all night.
Her [00:38]: O rly...
Me [01:16]: Yeah, rly.
Her [01:25]: It freaked me out.
Me [01:27]: What am I supposed to say to that?
Her [01:51]: That you don't give my name and number out to random guys!
Me [01:57]: I'd never do that...what are you up to this weekend?

I honestly hate texting. It has to be done and you need to have skills at it, but I hate it, all the back-and-forth, the waiting, the questions. I'd honestly rather call, but sometimes (like when you're hammered at a party and need to come off clear-headed) it's a valuable skill.
My texting rules; don't be getting back right away all the time, don't ever send more than one, don't use emoticons and don't say too much.
