"Textversations"

I hate texting.

A lot.

It is incredibly superficial way of communicating.

Actually, I just hate what Brittney calls textversations.

A quick definition:
Textversation: a "legitimate" conversation via text.

You see, "textversations" are fine for the first day or two, but when that becomes your sole source of communication between you and someone else. . . well, yeah. It gets old pretty quickly.

Things are said that shouldn't be, sarcasm and sincerity are both lost, and you lose the vital signals easily picked up when a conversation takes place face-to-face. Like I said: superficial.

If it were considered normal I would ditch the keyboard and use up my minutes. But schedules are so crazy and it's rare to find someone with the same schedule as you so texting is a convenient way to communicate--you can do it on your terms, when you have time.

But still. I'd much rather physically spend time with someone and have a legitimate conversation than text them my deepest thoughts (not that that ever happens, but you get it).

Anyways. . . That's me on texting. :)
