Texting and what it was like and what it's like now..

Ok so when I first got a phone that I could text on.. it was the greatest thing ever. The bad part of the deal was when it started to turn into OCD.. When I would have conversations with people I would imagine in my head what numbers I'd have to push in order for the words I was saying back to them to be produced. And a little bit more about my old texting habits is that on a computer I can type approximately 75 words a minute so i could text pretty fast.. though ironically text faster on a numeric keypad than i can on a full qwerty cellphone keyboard. So the very very newest thing is that i can't use T9 and my phone is a touchscreen which i didn't want but i can't very well look bad in front of my friends with a slider or a flip phone. it's hard to type on a full keyboard.. still don't like it.. whoa tangent.. I'm thinking of buying a new phone.. the Optimus V.. virgin mobiles second droid.. it's time.. but i'll be giving up the keyboard totally. kinda scared but i think it's gonna happen... when i get my tax money back that is... wish me luck.. and I only updated because someone reminded me i needed to.. sometimes I need that.. at least one person reads it... right?
