Predictable?

So this weekend I got me a snazzy new touchscreen phone which has made the art of texting a new and exciting experience.

When I actually get round to sending a text that is in the english language (I keep turning the language to Hungarian or Slovakian. Fun times for all) it is quite an achievement, as is having a long text conversation like the one on Friday night which gave me the material for this post.

During the banter that was passed between myself and my friend, they implied that sometimes my texts become rather predictable, so it doesn't matter if my language is garbled due to the effects of alcohol. This got me thinking have I become predictable? Have I already created a mould for myself that is me and is somewhat boring? Have I lost my spontanaity?

I would like to say no. I don't think I'm predictable, it is just that me and this particular friend are heavy-ish texters to one another so we are aware of each others idosyncrasies when we text. The same can be said for many other people.

I reckon if you got texts from my 6 closest friends, and possibly a few I'm not so close to, I would be able to tell you who sent the text purely by looking at the language, their "X's" or lack of and their abuse of spelling and grammer - I know one person who still uses "da" for "the". He is 23. He needs help.

The conclusion I come to is that we all have a signature, and try as I might and will find myself signing texts off with Xx. It's a reflex.

So predictability needent mean that you're boring. Just you have some friends who know you pretty damn well.

Maybe I should get some new friends?
