how starved of entertainment are you? you should come and work here and have things like what happened today, happen to you! (see the blog, then you'll know.) or send me your mobile number and i'll sms you.

oh yeah, first post, woohoo!!

that's hilarious! hahaha. sounds like something i'd do..

A similar thing happened to me the other day... but I wasn't quite as polite as you...

if you are that starved for conversation we could email each other back and forth while i am at work. although we have an 'internal email only' policy i don't think they would care too much... everyone else does it damnit :)

I like this entry title, hehe.

hehe capslock.

If you bat your eyelashes at him just a bit you could probly make him come on his keyboard.

So, is he like, single?

Shaunilicious! M'dear, I can read your blog, at my leisure, in my kitchen, whilst eating honey biscuits. How much does this rock? I forgot how marvellous it was to have my very own connection.

How come no intriguing strangers/pimply 17 year olds never random message me? I'm so disappointed

I've only had that happen to me once. It started with:

"Sex is good
sex is fine,
doggy style
or 69.
Just 4 fun
or getting paid
everyone
likes getting laid.
So if u want me
in the sack,
lick your lips
and text me back".

After a few texts back and forth, she deemed me to be too young for her. Not that I minded. It was a wrong number, after all.

my favourite ever random message was 'telstra wishes to inform you that your birth has been in error. please take yourself to the nearest hospital to have this error rectified'
hehe.

Nate and Shauny sitting in a tree.
T-E-X-T-I-N-G!

(Sorry, lame factor very high, but I couldn't resist.)

at least, being 17, he will have stamina!

SMS for free?

Okay, just coming back from a walk, barely awake this morning, and I read this? Shauny, what the hell? Please tell me you're not falling into old habits. Surely all the people who work there aren't vultures, satyrs or assorted wilderbeasts. This is a three month gig, no? Well, in my book, that seems grounds enough to lobby for some effective bedroom tangoing, should you find a good heart, effective thrust maneuver and jaunty buttocks. If not that, then at the very least you could actually talk to people around there and make a few more work friends so you aren't fiddling with a soulless cell phone all day! Should you find Mr. Not Psychotic GQ, then this might be a way to nip two problems in the bud.

ed! the bosses were at a big meeting. many people were at a training course. the rest were at farewell drinks for some subcontracting company that was invitation only. the office was dead!

always so quick to assume the worst of me...

well done, thou governmental web mistress you! - give us the contact url and I'll be giving this guy a run for his money!
nice to hear you're keeping a strictly independent stance on all things cyber!

ahh i miss instant messaging as well.. used to be able to do it on here but no more. used to be able to do it at home, but have a girlfriend now and shes better company. still...

why don't *I* get random 17 year olds texting me? i could do with one.. being 17 and all. (preferably one that can spell and lives in south-east england though, please.)

Shauns: Tut tut. Extraordinary circumstances require extraordinary responses. My apologies for assuming. :P

I MISS MY MOBILE PHOOOOONE.... Waaaahh... *sob*

None of my friends have text messaging on their phone. I never got to use mine. :(

You didn't put in the bit where you told him your name, it appears. Maybe you were a little more desperate for "conversation" than this represents, with all those bits left out.

hi "anon". i have no problem in admitting i was desperate for "conversation", but for the sake of the reader, i am not going to put in every bloody word and make the entry too long.

Alas, no cybering for Shauny. Well, you're young yet.

What about ICQlite, or ICQgo, or whatever it's called? No need to install nothin'! :-D

Hilarious entry as usual, Shauny. You're definitely the poster girl for pithy blog-style entertainment and laughs. You have obviously mastered the art of knowing what to say and whta not to say -unlike some ppl. :-)

the joy of text.

It's a bit harsh and rude to call someone "desperate" after a five second psycho-analysis of a person's blog entry... Couldn't have used a little more tact?

Mwahaha!!
:)

I think real desperation lies with the anonymous soul who accuses a stranger, little realizing that his cowardice reveals just how threadbare the rope, masquerading as a plentiful climbing spool but somehow tightening around his neck due to his own incompetence, is.

Shauny, don't let the bastards get you down.

Amen.

What I want to know is, how do the two of you afford it? *boggles* Especially a 17 yr old...

If I ever have a random conversation with someone via sms, I really hope they don't use caps, and they can spell. Otherwise it'll be a short conversation

coz my optus plan gives me $30 calls/sms/whateverilikes every month, and i rarely make calls, so i just sms :)

No installation rights on your computer at work? You poor poor girl... I would die of boredom at my work if I didn't have icq and various internet interests to keep me occupied. :)

For all your ICQ-related work-boredom releiving needs...

I also found one for yahoo messenger once, could prolly find it again if necessary... Couldn't find one for MSN unfortunately...
