Yesterday I sent MW a text on my webtext. What was in it wasn't important. Everyday boring nonsense.
A couple of minutes later I got one back from her:
"You just sent me something weird."
I was hungover (still!) and so, used to her weirdnesses I just rang her and asked what in the name of Ganesh she was on about. Turns out she hadn't gotten the everyday, boring nonsense I'd sent her. Instead, from my number, she'd received:
"Hi T! Sorry 2 bother ya girlie but by any chance did i leave my ICEP course notes at your house, think its module 2, how to increase behaviour using ABA??? :-)"
A number of thoughts occurred to me.
Yes, yes I must have accidentally sent this to MW instead of the mysterious T. I do refer to people as "girlie" all the time, use "2", "ya", "its" and not capitalise my "i" (typical of me that this was the first thing I thought about not that I am, of course, not doing a course in Applied Behaviour Analysis at the Institute Of Child Education and Psychology. Of course I looked it up...)
Then I started wondering if it had really been me, if I do lead some strange double life and when I claim I'm at work I'm actually pursuing this exotic other existence with girlies called T, bad punctuation and a future career in headshrinking kids.
Probably just a glitch in the webtext though.

Ok thats just very strange.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you wear in your other life? Is it ladies clothes?
In the interests of information dissemination, I don't think ABA's headshrinking, it's a teaching method for autistic kids. But maybe that doesn't have the same ring to it, I suppose :)
ReplyDelete'Girlie' is a strange one. But they say 'gal' in the states, that's even wierder.
this whole double life thing is really eating you up at the moment. Time to go see a shrink and get some good ole cop on.
ReplyDeleteI've been known to use the word Girlie every now and then. I don't abbrev tho...evr!
ReplyDeleteSL, these double lives of yours will be the death of you.
Surely he meant to say increasing behaviour using ABBA. The classic Swedish band can cure all ills.
ReplyDeleteHEY THE SAME THING JUST HAPPENDED TO ME... I READ THIS ENTRY THIS MORNIN AND I USED MY WEB TEXTS AROUND LUNCH TIME AND IT SENT SOMEONE THE MESSAGE "U 0N BEBO BABY XXXX" WHAT THE HELL?? RANG METEOR AND THEY SAY THAT THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE
ReplyDeleteDouble, triple, quadruple... It'll make a great book when I'm found dead in a laneway though :)
ReplyDeleteWhen You are found dead in a lane way it will be nothing to do with me ok......no matter what forensics say!
ReplyDeleteCSI 49£. The new chapter of our lima bean world.
ReplyDeleteHem. With reference to some other comment stream, I think you mean 'found dead in an alley'.
