Subject: The Text Stalker...

I've been in ATL for almost 3 weeks now, visiting friends, drumming up business and taking pictures of stuff. But now I have a situation...a text stalker. Many of you may or may not know what that is, so I gotta school you to it, we wouldnt want you to become a victim or the assailant. Text stalking is when someone sends you a text, and after you reply to their text, they continue the conversation with multilpe text. For all that the person could have just picked up the phone and talked. But knowing me I wouldnt want to talk anyway (I get that from my mother...damn genetics)

My homegirl that I went to school (undergraduate) with is now a resident of the A and I went to pay a cordial visit. I had no intentions on becoming romantically involved, wasnt tryin to have a one nighter, or the like. I called when I got up here to let her know I was in town and was gonna come over and kick it with her one day. It was cool. We hung out, played cards, ate some chicken wings, drank a few drinks and watched TV. Just so happened to be the day that MJ passed away and she became the illest Michael Jackson fan of all time (that in itself is another blog entry). At any rate I fell asleep on her couch and the next day went back to the crib where I was staying. I wasnt gone 10 minutes before my phone rang, it was her. I thought I might have left something at her crib and was gonna have to turn around and retrieve said item. NO!!!! She sent me a text saying to call her when I reached my destination...and when was I coming back. I was like WTF??? I texted back ok and iono, that should be the end of the inquiry. A few red lights up Peachtree Road and there was another message, then the continuation of that message. I replied, thinking I was doin the "good friend / homie" thing. Then I get a text making reference to the spade games from the night before and how it coulda played out if BLAH BLAH BLAH...

A couple hours later, another text came through, "What you doin?" "Where you at?" "When you coming through?" This was far too much for me, so I just picked up the phone and called her back to get all that taken care of and be through with it. A couple days after that, same shit, same messages, and this time a chain text (I really hate those). Matter of factly it has started all again...she is gonna run down my fuckin battery and Ima need it later on. The only good thing about that is I wont receive any text messages.

Then there are the mass chain text messages like "I love being your friend, send this to 10 people and watch what happens to your screen" Shit I know whats gonna happen, the evil "LOW BATTERY", thats whats gonna happen. Then you get folks that send you text messages saying "I changed my number, here's the new one, lock it in." Did the sender forget to ADD THEIR NAME? Then I have to text back..."WHO DIS?" cause I dont have the new number stored cause you just sent it. The whole text stalking thing starts all over again. I really wish I could find a way to teach the entire world (or at least the ones in my phone book) about text stalkin'. Its really not a good look...
