Talking in blogs

Following from yesterday’s post about my text message – the second text I received was from best friend and fellow blogger Chris.

I felt it was slightly scary that he replied in exactly the same way that I would have replied to receiving the text message in question. He wrote:

“Death
Margarine
Egg
Mud
Fart
Card
Is there any reason why we are saying random words?”

Now obviously, when I say that I would have replied exactly the same way – I mean I would have replied with six other random words – not the exact same words that Chris used. That would be frightening.

Perhaps it is a blog thing that causes us to think the same way. Posting every single day does change the way that you live your life.

For instance, whenever in conversation with someone or out in a social situation you are always thinking “maybe I could use this in my blog”.

In fact, I was pointing out to Chris the other day that we managed to have a conversation that was made up almost entirely out of an exchange of monologues. Essentially, we were unwittingly “talking in blogs”. Each of us were basically taking it in turns to do a 45 second spiel and then allowing the other to retort with a similar blog style reply…

What is happening to me?!

So bored...

I don’t think I have ever been as bored in my whole life as I was the other night.

I literally couldn’t find anything to do. I ended up sending the following text message to 20 random members of my phonebook:

“Coal
Badger
Nectarine
Tankard
Violin
Hallibut”

I think part of the reason was I wanted to see what replies I would get – although part of it was just a desperate attempt to get any reply from anyone to alleviate some of the boredom.

I’m going to post some of the replies I got as some of them really did make me laugh.

Thanks to all of you who replied to my random message, I hope you don’t mind me using your reply in this blog.

To those that didn’t reply – I have absolutely no problem of naming and shaming you as rubbish…

The first person to get back to me was my friend Hannah, who replied:

“Shopping list?”

Leave a comment with how you would have replied (if at all) to this random text. Otherwise I shall add you to the “rubbish list”...
