Drunk Dialing is a thing of the past


Last night I went out for the evening and essentially got hammered. It was fun times had by all, but I have to say - I feel bad for the people who received my drunk texts. I mean, it used to be drunk dialing, but who has time for that anymore now that the band/music is too loud at the bar?? You're no longer in college going to house parties where you can still semi-hear the person on the other end. It's all about the drunk texting (DT) now. The problem with DT is that, much like AIM or Facebook Chat, you can't really tell the tone within a text. When you're drunk and typing, everything may seem all fine and dandy, but of course your text can be misconstrued by the recipient. Moreover, how often do you really proofread your DTs?
Embarrasingly enough for me, after about 16 DTs, my victim texted me back with "Your text messages aren't making any sense." Clearly, this killed my buzz, as I realized, like really?? what the EFF am I doing???
Meanwhile, I have another "friend" who lives for my DTs and actually requests them. In fact, after numero uno DT, he texted me a few hours later asking where my others were.

My point is, I'm leaving my cell phone at home (not really) from now on. I just embarrass myself.

Last night, before bed, I sat on my balcony having a late night smoke and deleted all of the texts in my phone from the entire day. See, I have a habit of waking up the following morning to relive my evening via phone and end up being really upset by conversations with the opposite sex. So yes, I deleted everything and woke up today feeling just peachy, since all I had were fuzzy memories of texts and not the actual ones.

I mean hey, if they're not in your inbox/outbox, did they really happen??

Over and Out.
