I'm a bit of a text messaging addict. I text pretty much all day. But something that I've noticed is a strange phenomenon when I type on the internet. See I use the T9 mode of text messaging, where the phone predicts what you're gonna type. So its interesting to see what words use the same letters, because I'll go to type something on the phone and another word appears.

But now when I'm typing online, my mind expects the other words to appear!!! Like the word "if" comes up as "he" in T9 mode on the phone, so I have to hit the * button to scroll through the words to find the one I want. So now when I type the word "if" online, I expect to see "he".

It gets really funny when I add swear words into T9 mode and have to scroll through the words to find the swear word I've entered, like shiv. Hahaha.

Its also interesting to enter the word "cotton" and it comes up as "bottom" first. I don't know why I am so amused at this.....but its funny to enter a word and another word pops up. Why am I posting this? I don't know!!!! LOL!!!!!

Oh another strange phenomenon is thinking my phone is vibrating, feeling it in my pocket and I grab it and its not vibrating. Phantom vibrations!

Think I'm a cell phone addict? Tee hee!

I have yet to learn how to text on the cell phone. I can not figure out how to get it to type what I want it to say I think I will try pressing that * and see what happens. I also can not understand the directions in the phone manual.
Now when I am at work nights and bored I will have to experiment with the what word pop up game.
