Bad Texter 

Someone who has no conception of communication. How to know if you or someone else is a Bad Texter:

1. One word responses.

2. Ridiculously horrible grammar.

3. Responses are delayed without saying "brb" or any other excuse.

4. Extensive punctuation. We get it when it's something huge, but five exclamations for a daily greeting really isn't necessary.

5. Flat-out annoying. If someone says the have to go, wait for them to text you or for at least 6 hours before starting up a conversation.

6. Multiple texts sent. If it's a story, okay, but really, is every detail necessary? Well, if it is, calling is a better way to deal.

7. Caps lock frequently. Unless the person receiving your texts is visually impaired, it is not necessary to write in big letters.

8. Not participating. This is a big one. It shouldn't be a one-sided conversation. Make an effort, especially if you text first.

9. Also with number 8, if you don't have something to say, don't text. It just ends up being a boring, lame conversation where you say "how r u?" a dozen times.

10. Common Sense. If someone isn't answering you, don't bother them. Either they are being...well, themselves and don't feel like answering you or they're busy. Either way, back off. Whatever you have to say can wait. We know this because if it were actually important, you'd call.
1. "LOL" "nice" "funny" "ha" "yes" "no" "maybe"

2. "i doughno hoo yu arh, buh ey liKE tiping lieeek deesss"

3. John: I hate people who are Bad Texters!

Jack: Yah, same!
4. "HI OMG OMG OMG HI I HAVEN'T TEXTD U IN LIKE AN HOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

i'm a bad texter 

Someone who is clearly not interested in the person they're conversing with. Therefore, Instead of being honest about this, they'll often make up excuses as to how busy they weren't because they don't want to text that person back.
Haha, I'm sorry, I'm a bad texter. I promise I wanna talk to you though.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
