Texting Virgin - Page 2

post #51 of 91

I don't mind texting (and use it here & there myself). Here's what gets on my nerves:

Last week, my family (who lives in Pennsylvania) rented a beach house in Clearwater FL, where I went for the week to see them (my Mom, brother and his new girlfriend) as I (with wife & daughter) live just 2 hours away in Orlando. My brother and his girlfriend always had their laptops (for Myspace updates, and IM's) available and cellphones for texting. They were in constant contact with their friends at home that they see all the time (being unmarried, childless 20-somethings party-ers) when I get to see my brother maybe twice a year. Either the younger generation (he's 5 years younger) are just plain rude, or my company isn't as captivating as it should be. Course, he's always been the introvert, computer geek. Guess it's only suitable that he find a similar girl. I just find it strange to be having a conversation with other people via texting right in front of people you are supposed to be spending time with.

WTF? Rant over.

Post-Its? You kids today and your tech fads.

DARKMITE8: I hear you loud and clear. The aloof nature of that behavior is more than a little irksome.

I tried to reply to DARKMITE8 earlier, but CHUD.com wasn't liking me.

A couple weeks ago I let a quasi-friend talk me into going to dinner (suckered in by the claims of wanting to spend time with me, not seeing me enough, etc, etc).... And he proceeds to not only receive a call during dinner but make three outgoing calls. One of those three was, granted, when I was making a call - but mine was a legitimate return-an-emergency-page-because-I'm-a-doctor call. The others, though - no excuse for him there, other than his generalized egocentrism and assholedness. Ah, well, that dinner was the last chance he'll have to "spend time with me."

I hear you there, I've got a roommate that does that a lot when we're watching movies at the apartment. Bugs the shit out of me, especially since he has loud buttons.

Precisely.

Actually, I've engaged in text-sex several times and I can say matter-of-factly that it manages to be less erotic than watching your grandparents wrestle in jelly.

Just out of curiosity, if it was so bad, why did you do it several times, then?

I can't imagine it being *that* bad, but then, I've never come close to attempting it, I've always ended a brief flirtatious texting session with a 'see you tonight' or 'call you tonight.' Is it just slow or awkward or ? Hmmm....

Texting pictures of dangly bits back and forth is the most I've managed. Well, clits don't really dangle, per sae, but you get the idea.

No buttons louder than what comes free with these:

After "he has loud buttons" made me delirious with glee, all it took was some search engine fuckery about buttons (and then Red in particular, which yielded exactly one worthwhile result).

I did it several times because I'm an idiot and I keep forgetting how much it really sucks. The last time I even pretended to fall asleep halfway through so I wouldn't have go on with the charade.

There're lots of reasons why it sucks. Yeah, it's slow - especially when you've dated some of the people that I have, meaning that it takes them half an hour to get a proper sentence together; yeah, it's awkward - especially when the predictive text plays havoc and replaces the word "cock" with the word "coal" (or worse, with the word "anal"); but mostly it's just silly, like reading one of those dimestore novels where everything's "writhing" or "bulging" - except that it's being written on your cellphone... by someone who can't spell... in suuuuuuper sloooooow-mooooootion.

But maybe you're right and I've just been doing it with all the wrong people. What say you and me give it a try? I'll start:

Quarant: "Hello Bele!" I enter the room and put my hand on your writhing boob...

You're hilarious! I don't have enough breast for one of them to writhe, and if it was writhing, I'd imagine it was in an attempt to escape.

Alot of people I know including family members use that kind of text language and I fucking hate it. I agree with Ron Vogel it doesn't take you long to write out a decent sentence.

No one is stopping you from doing it. If it was text sex it would be on a phone. Otherwise it's message board sex.

Do you have a problem with these abbreviations when used in hand-written notes, like on a post-it?

On second thought...


Belethedheliel: Ek wil jou moeilik pool eet.

(Sorry, my translating ability is horrible, and I don't know the fun words. My friend said to say "Ek wil jou ma se koeksister eet" but from what little I understand that wouldn't have been quite the idea I wanted to get across...)

ETA: Here's a better one.

Ek wil he jy my heunignpotjie eet.

I was trying to say, I think, Ek wil jou poesje eet. Only in a more polite way.

I'm so confused, possibly in an "I'm retarded" kind of way. I was joking before, by the way. My weak attempts at humor must be too rare to be anticipated.

Damn! I obviously wasn't paying attention. That's ok, he can hook up with her in 5 years when he makes it out of RSA. By that time, she'll be really good at text messaging.

ETA: I missed the 13 year old part and somehow glommed onto the 21 year old part. My bad.

Especially those, since it takes even less time to write a word than in a text.

Right, but there is only so much space on a post-it (or in a text).

Yeah, but how many bullet points of a to-do list can you fit on one? My computer monitor is surrounded by notes between me and my office manager. You know "Jan called. She says Lori is driving her crazy. Is there someplace else you recommend?" next to "Buy more Ketamine" and "Send predator information to Holly"
