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

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.
