Valentine’s Day- A Day Made for Mobile Messaging
by Russell Shaw
Tomorrow, February 14, is Valentine’s Day.
While a perfect world scenario would involve lovers in love being with each other- making texting and other forms of mobile messaging unnecessary for the moment- I realize that as the old song goes, sometimes “you can’t be with the one you love.”
But you can make plans to be.
In my own situation, it is not practical for me to call my teacher girlfriend during her workday. She’s not about to interrupt her noisy middle school class to take a call from me.
Instead, we text. I visualize texting her tomorrow to talk about Valentine’s Day logistics, and other considerations (wink).
At least we are in the same metro area. Some lovers are not. There’s business travel, wars, etc.
Plainly, those predicaments would be appropriate occasions for MMS, and even cell phone photos delivered by email from mobile handsets.
And then, I suppose tomorrow will precipitate texting from and to old flames, and unrequited lovers (not that this predicament has ever happened to me personally, yea right).
Readers, are you planning on doing some texting during Valentine’s Day? Tell us your stories!
