The great phone clear out of 09
Because I'm a sentimental old thing, I tend to not delete messages from my phone if I really like them. After three years, this has meant that my phone is constantly on the verge of full, which is really kinda annoying. So! In the name of me not constantly being greated by "1 new message/ Memory almost full", I'm going to move all the messages onto LJ for prosterity. I'll put the sentimental-only ones in a locked post, but here're some of the funnier ones (possibly not as funny to others, but whatevs).

+ To mum, after I'd sent her a "argharaqaraqgh I don't wanna!" text and she laughed at me:
Argharaqaraqgh. Your sarcasm is not appreciated. (hey, my phone now registers argharaqaraqgh as a word! Sweet!)
+ Am here. Elevator's broken again, had to haul bag up 5 flights of stairs. Is possible am dying.
+ A big black bird just picked up a maccas box in its beak & flew to the roof of a building with it.
+ So apparently it's normal for rats to eat their own poo.
To Lucy. I had just come out of a Brain and Behaviour lab tutorial. That was the bit of education for the day that I felt the need to share.
+ In response to "what you up to?"
Washing dishes. One had mold on it. Am freaking out. Don't want to die.
+ You forgot your mobile. Love, Stella.
+ I'm watching the new Harry Potter. Yay me!
followed by
Oh God. Now I really want to hug something.
+ Those binliners we got are shite. But, I have a phoneline! & Internet! & a mattress!
