I was NOT happy and about to say some things I would surly regret when I wasn&#8217;t so pissed off.\u00a0 Instead I was going to take the high road and end the conversation with &#8220;I will see you in the morning&#8221;\u00a0 EXCEPT swype changed &#8216;see&#8217; to &#8216;sewer&#8217;.<br \/>\nI was winning that debate until SWYPE made me look like a jackass.<\/p>\n<p>2. CHANGING THE SENTENCE: In another conversation with my boyfriend and we were working out our plans for the evening.<br \/>\n&#8220;I have the field gunfight.&#8221;\u00a0 and I hit send without reading because it&#8217;s been a good long time since Swype\u00a0 has decided to dick me around.<br \/>\nI looked back down at the phone and reread what I just sent.\u00a0 Yeah, no field gunfights, better resend that one: \u00a0 &#8220;I have the GIRLS TONIGHT.&#8221;<br \/>\nHe thought the field gunfight would be more fun.<\/p>\n<p>3. PERVERTED:\u00a0 In another recent conversation with my boyfriend: &#8220;Hey baby! I sold another one of your dick straps!&#8221;<br \/>\nYeahhhhhhhh&#8230;meant DUCK STRAPS.<br \/>\nand that started a whoooooole other conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I wonder why he puts up with me and then I remember that I send some very flavorful texts (and sometimes I don&#8217;t even mean to!)\u00a0\u00a0 :)<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and I make him laugh&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been about a year or so that I got my phone that is &#8216;smart&#8217;.\u00a0 It&#8217;s been less than a year that I have &#8220;Swype&#8221;.\u00a0 If you don&#8217;t have swype, a quick explanation: You run your finger over the word you want to type and it magically types what you were thinking.
