21st century bus stop entertainment November 5, 2008

Occasionally when I am stuck at a bus stop without my ipod, or on a train with no book, I resort to reading sometimes very old sms’s (text messages) on my mobile phone as my entertainment.  Some still make me laugh aloud, some I never want to lose, and I often remember exactly where I was when I received the saved text.  Here’s a selection of what I found today, typos and all:

•    Hi cab  bad obondat   see you at home

•    Sms poetry:
O reigning Queen, in your small motorcade,
The sight of your hair is hard to evade!
What in all Holland demanded your power
in Wassenaar, commanding so at this hour?

(From M to me)
•    And thou helmet head shall protect this wealthy world that saves us artists.
bless your hair gel! : -)

•    Jordi went shopping with me in Schiphol!    First H&M to get replacement sunglasses for those I broke last week, then we picked up a sushi snack at AH.  now waiting patiently and quietly for our train.  A very new excursion for him!  Wonder what all he smelled…  : -)

Anyway, I realize this is so blog cliché – to write things that probably interest only you.  But well, it’s sometimes fun to try to guess someone’s life story based on snippets here and there.
