the lazy T9

So I get this text message from the guy I went to the Giants game with almost a month ago, and went out of town on business. Since he got back, he's been IMing me and sending me text messages telling me to call him, but never actually calling me. Like he needs me to chase him or something to put in any effort himself. It's gotten beyond tedious. This one was priceless though:
Hey. I know you foot like texts but he you are up gimme a call. He not sorry to wake you.
The guy was too lazy-texting on T9 to hit 0 and change the auto-selected word or to proofread. I feel like a bitch ignoring it, but would you return a text message like that, which wasn't even looked over before being sent? Almost makes you think he's too busy sending texts to girls all over town to look at what he's writing.

The other day I hung out with the guy I had drinks with last week. We made food and hung out talking for a few hours before I hopped the bus back. It was fun, there was some flirtation on his part, nothing over the line. I started to feel bad, because this guy was maybe investing time and effort into being a gentleman, and I was kind of ambivalent about him, especially since he's moving away in a couple of months. So when he asked me to hang out again this week I felt bad and kind of blew him off to a possible later in the week. It's really funny how I excuse my flaky bitchy tease behavior with alleged good intentions, but I guess that's dating (?).

Today I found out that I'm going on a business trip to Colorado next week, and even staying the night! Luckily I'm so excited about my first business trip that I don't even care that we'll probably be in a lonely suburb in Detroit chatting up an eTailer.

I got a call from the architect I met on Friday night, but told him to call me back because I was on a loud train and he was en route to a Giants game. At least, I can only assume it was him since he was the only stranger I was expecting a call from whose name I didn't quite remember. I seriously have to get better with names!
