Why I love my friends.

I have this problem: I save texts. I am a text-saving fiend. My inbox is so very full of texts that I am constantly having to clear out other parts of my memory card just to make room for new ones. Thanks a lot guys, your texts are too clever/sweet/funny/noteworthy that I just can't bring myself to erase them. So I decided, what better place to save all of them than the internet, where everyone can appreciate them? I know, I know, totally brill. I thought so too. only problem is, I never save my responses...oh well. most of them are guess-able anyway. Or I tried to fill in what i may have said with []'s.
I'll use initials to help me remember who said what without potentially embarrassing the texter.

PA:
-Betsy I'm in a flirty mood. and guess what! I think you're pretty.
-How are you beautiful?
-Yeah girl I'm so excited. And I have no idea when. It would be cool if you came to visit. I would love to see you in person again. haha
-lol. or you could just come up here and visit. We can cuddle
-yeah yeah. i'm totally down. but i still love you

-Oh well. you'll make it. i have faith that you will be able to put up with a bunch of bicurious girls for another 3 or 4 months

-Hey I was just thinking about you. and you have no idea how much my experience in austin changed me and i had so much fun and i'm so glad you're in my life

-Hello there beautiful spirit! I hope all is well in your life

-Hello betsy I do miss you

Ricky's and my Halloween costume for 2009!

-And, of course, my boyfriend:
