As you can imagine, we exchange a fair number of texts on the regular. Even when we’re working together for eight hours a day, by the time we get home we’ve probably already seen something that elicits a “What the hell is going on in this world?” text. Anya gotten more than a few calls from Paul in the vein of “I’m driving behind a car with a Jesus-y license plate and the following bumper stickers, ‘Murder is not a form of birth control,’ ‘Mini Schnauzers Rule,’ and ‘Carpe Diem,’ WHAT!?” Paul has gotten many a text from Anya “I’m surrounded by insanity, help!” And sometimes we just need to share a low point in our lives with someone who can appreciate the humor and sadness in equal parts. Who do you text while you’re crying over the season finale of Dance Moms if not your soulmate/sibling?
Luckily, Paul appreciated the value these painful and poignant snippets of the past, and has been archiving them for years. Yes, Anya feels so goddamn lucky that her embarrassing texts have been saved from their rightful place in a digital grave. Even dropping his phone into the bathtub couldn’t erase the 160-characters-or-less snapshots of her brain going all the way back to 2011. Call them vignettes.
For you, the reader, she is willing to sacrifice her vanity at the altar of voyeurism. Transcribed for you verbatim, please enjoy the first installment of texts from last year:
