I text alot. I have had friends tell me that I text them more than anyone else that they know, but no matter how much you think I text, there’s someone that’s going to be more Textually Promiscuous than I.

I have friends that will text their friends – no matter what time zone their friend is in. They could be in the middle of sleep – 3 am – and they’ll text them. I have a buddy in Hong Kong (Shout out Mike Rose), and I always have to do the math to figure out whether he’s up or not. I’m so textually promiscuous that I need to send them texts no matter what.
The worse kind though is when I send a text to someone without much context. I just get so excited about saying something that I don’t think through the text well enough. That’s the worse kind of promiscuity I think.
What do you think? Are you Textually Promiscuous?
