OH! Also…

Jeremy wrote this and I lost my mind,

“When did people start thinking that sending out group text messages on Holidays was a nice thing to do? When did we get that impersonal?”

UM. CAN I GET AN AMEN!??????

The first few texts I got on Christmas Day I was like AW! A text! THANK YOU!!!!!!!! And then as they went on I realized I was among the generic masses, receiving text after text just because I was in someone’s phonebook. That? sucks. People who never call me were all ohhhhhhhhhhh here’s a text and I was all ohhhhhhh my tech savvy/obsessed generation SUCKS.

Also? These are most likely the people that belong to My Space and/or Facebook, etc.

I think that these websites are markers of an era. Much like tamigachis and pogs.

But I mean who am I to talk? Was I not GRATEFUL for the generic text? Dan sent me one that said “Ho, Ho, Ho, Yo” and then we kind of almost had a text message conversation so THAT was good. But can we get to the point where we can talk on the phone? It remains to be seen.

AJ sent me a text message and THEN a follow up Instant Message and we are going to hang out and THAT was fruitful, yes.

But…the rest? Oy. And really, I can’t really speak ill of such people because I’m all LOOK AT ME I HAVE A BLOG I AM SO TECHNOLOGICAL AND IMPORTANT THAT I POST STUPID THINGS FOR THE INTERNET TO READ! AM SO FABULOUS! CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF SELF!

But I’m also self-centered. And at least I admit to all of you that I WOULD NEVER send y’all a generic text message. I’m more likely to text you, “Where the hell have you been?” or “Let’s meet at Chipotle at 4!”

PS I found out that the tortillas at Chipotle are 340 calories. JUST FOR THE TORTILLA. *SIGH* Looks like I must make my burrito a salad from now on. And I wonder why my weight is creeping back!? DAMN YOU CHIPOTLE! DAMN YOU!

We are having an amazing party at my apartment tonight. It is going to be amazing and I am not going to text everyone to come because it is a very important party. I know it is important because Lindsay is making a chocolate pudding/graham cracker dessert to share.

My friends? Are all 40 year-olds. For REAL.

Speaking of which, I’m ashamed that I have to add “40 Year Old Virgin” to my list of movies seen. I was SO anti but really…

IT WAS SO FREAKING HILARIOUS?!?!!?

I mean Steve Carell is great but Paul Rudd takes the movie to an entirely new and amazing place.

In fact, he’s done that before.

WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER?!

Why can’t Paul Rudd be in every movie?

I bet he would’ve made Gigli watchable.

Why can’t Paul Rudd be my husband?

WHY ARE YOU ALL SO MEAN TO ME?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay. I’ll text you later. Peace.

One Response to “OH! Also…”

  1. Your pictures a great!

    Group SMS messages suck, I’ve yet to send one myself. I use my phone messages just like AIM messages! Of course my phone can go on AIM now too, what? Technology is crazy.

    Is Blogger less a generational fad than MySpace, Facebook, Live Journal?

    Happy Freaking New Year! 2006 is in the house
