Some Rules of Texting

Someone I know is starting to get into texting. And last night he sent me a text at a not so good time. Typically the time might have been alright but I had to be up in 4.5 hours and was not in the mood to deal with the text. Granted he sent me a good night text but it really wasnt needed. he hadnt been talking in 9 hours. So as a curtesy I sent him this:

Avoid texting late at night and early morning. Unless you know there schedule or it is an
emergency. However if it is a major emergency call. Do not text. If unsure text. If no
answer, reevaluate the situation to text again or call.

Avoid texting durning the day. People are working and many workplaces forbid the use of
personal cell phones.

Avoid texting durning rush hour traffic. Texting while driving is probhited by law. You
can save many lives by not texting.

Avoid texting the other person during naptime. Sleep is good. Uninterrupted sleep is
better.

Texting durning the other persons dinner time is iffy. Some families do not allow phones
at the table. Others, allow them. But honestly do you want to interrupt dinner time and
become the talk of the table?
For the ones that dont have family, texting while eating might be okay. Some use this
time to get away and do not want to be disturbed. Other might enjoy a conversation.
But keep in mind the content of the text. They are eating. And food can get stuck.

Texting during homework is a big no no. They will be distracted enough and do not need to
further their procrastination.

Avoid shorthand, most of the time. No need to engage in a conversation longer tan
necessary due to misread info.

Understandably this is no english paper but grammar and puncution still matter. There is a
difference between
they ate uncle jack
and
they ate, uncle jack.

And if u deem an immediate response, call do not text.

After a recent event it is necessary to add a part 2:

Rules part 2
it is not neseccary to say goodnight unless in the middle of a conversation
or
in th middle of a fight and one is testig the waters

becareful if the reader of the text has consumed a certain liquid. Certain messages can
be taken the wrong way

since pulse isnt working

when did liking a fb birthday post become the acceptable way of saying Thank You???

For several months now, part of the reason why I have decided to stay on facebook instead of deactivating my account is because of birthdays. However in recent times, when I write on someones wall (or timeline as it is now being called...(yuck... (another story for another time))) wishing them a happy birthday, instead of getting a thank you, all i get is a like. Is it really that hard to type/text out thanks, or thank you, or someother form of acknowledgement than just a like?

Correct me if i am wrong, but does it not seem unfair that one takes the time to type out a greeting and in return the person just does a mouse click.
What happened to manners? Am I that old school that I still send out thank you cards when i receive soemthing. it might not be devlievered via the post office, but I have either called or sent an email.

well enough of the rant. i need some sleep

a cookie diet

is most likely not the best diet to eat. but saidly it has made up for about 95% of my food consumption for the past two days.

My orginal apartment started having plumbing problems. In short, the bathtub is about to fall through the ceiling. So the apartment management decided to move us to another buliding that they just finished remodeling. So now instead of being on the 2nd floor, I am on the 3rd floor. (yes it was a joy to move all my stuff across the way on a hot sunny day). And in all honesty. I really havent been hungry. But there is a package of E.L. Fudge cookies, and plate of homemade peanut butter cookies lying around and I have no self control. So everytime I pass either one, I may or may not indulge in a cookie.

Correction to my last post.

So fairytale was the wrong terminolgy I used to convey my random thoughts. I had the Ugly Duckling story in my mind.

So my thing with it is that the story leaves out how the duck went from ugly to stunning. it implies in a short period of time.

So yes I have a little bit of low self esteem even though I tell myself I am being a realist. I have always felt that I am on the ugly side. and I am reminded of the ugly duckling story and how he starts out life being on the not so pretty side and then he magically changes into the beautiful, luxglorious swan. but in reality, i do not think that is going to happen. (or at least anytime soon).

but i know part of this is because I am just lazy.

flaw in fairytales

so this is coming from lack of sleep philosphy, but in all of the fairytale stories, the girl still gets the price without having to do any major work.
