things i love thursday

So, in honor of National Blog Posting Month I have (technically) posted every day.  Some days are easier, some days are a struggle...But bestie Meg and I have set out to accomplish this goal.  So thus begins "Things I Love Thursday."  Today's first installment of a thing I love?  Texts From Last Night.

I LOVE TEXTS FROM LAST NIGHT.  Identifiable only by area code, TFLN is a collection of reader-submitted text messages that they receive or send in their daily lives.  A significant portion of them involve sexual escapades, alcohol, drugs, or any combination of the three.  The strong majority of contributors are university students living the college dream.  Sometimes the post is an observation, an embarrassing anecdote, a question, or simply giving an update of what is going on.  They can be hilarious, insightful, ignorant, and downright ridiculous, sometimes all at the same time.  You will wish these people were your friends, thank God that they aren't, and wonder if it actually is someone you know posting!

My life has improved even more because there is a TFLN iPhone app.  You can download the "lite" version for free, or, for a mere 99 cents, purchase the full TFLN app.  I highly recommend spending the dollar...You get up to the minute update of submitted text messages, can "favorite" texts that you like best, and directly post from the site to your facebook, blog, or twitter.  You can also follow TFLN on Twitter.  However, you will occasionally now get sponsored advertisements...

TFLN is definitely a Thing That I Love.  It makes me laugh until I cry and I love to share texts with my friends, or learn which texts they find the most hilarious.  A few of my favorites include (with no spelling or grammar corrections made):

(079) I think we need to take a brake
(078) What upsets me the most about that is that you spelled it 'brake'

(770) I gave her the chance to be interesting and she failed.  So, then I gave her a chance to be slutty and she failed at that too.

(919) I haven't worn deodorant in like three days and have been laying around in my underwear listening to music and drinking.  I think i've made my own Bonnaroo in my apartment.

(586) I hate cats.  They're so curious, it's not their damn business.

(225) what day is it and did you see me today?


Come on, at least two of those had to make you laugh!  Check out Texts From Last Night.  You'll be submitting texts in no time!  Or, sort by area code...someone may have already submitted you!
