"Proactive" text convo with Paul

Me: They were like "howd your face get so clear?" and I was like "proactive" and they were like "no" and I was like "yes"

Paul: Haha great story Tawnia

BACKSTORY: My text is a quote taken directly from a girl's confessional in the new Proactive commercial Paul and I watched.  Shocking when you see how AMAZING their other ads are (see left).

"Hijacked" text convo with my dad

Dad: Huskies are playing Mizzou in softball today

Me: Yeah. Rachel told me. Did you see the bball score ;(

Dad: No but I just saw MU won 2-0 to give the huskies their first loss

Me: Haha nice. Well we lost by 1pt to KU today in OT so I'm glad one team prevailed.  I guess we were up 12 at halftime.

Rachel (from Dad's phone): Boo you whore, how dare you mar our record! I hope you can live with yourself knowing you broke my heart.  Also, that bball game sounds rough, I'm sorry for your loss.

FOLLOW-UP: My dad had handed over his phone because he was driving so when Rachel handed it back with a weird little smirk he thought it was odd.  I honestly thought he had typed the text in an attempt to use "hip language" he learned somewhere so I called to get some clarification.  We both died laughing.  Well played Rachel...well played.

"Jessica Lange" text convo with Rachel

I think this Oscar may have gotten to her head. 

Rachel: I can't... I can't... I CANNOT pay attention in class...

Me: LMAO!!! Soooo well played I can't even handle it.

BACKSTORY: There is a scene in "The Vow" where Jessica Lange (who plays Rachel McAdam's mother in the film) delivers a monologue that starts as a whispered "I can't" and escalades into "I can't...I CANNOT!"  She's on her knees in the garden, crying and raising her fists in the air and choking back the words.  If you've seen it, you know it's over-the-top unnecessary; and, if you're like my sister and I, you died laughing.

"The Vow" text convo with Rachel

Me: Soooo I think I may have to screen "the vow" for us bc our movie is sold out :( Would that break ur heart? I'll see it again if it's good

Rachel: WHAT! Rude. I turned down someone for you!

Me: Haha u know I would have waited but Safe House was sold out & they forced me in line to choose that or that sci fi one ;( it was so rough rech. Lol I was bullied in public at 27

Rachel: Rude.  I was in Canada so my phone was off, I'm so sad I wasn't there to defuse this bomb you just dropped on me.  Ooo safe house was good.

Me: It was?? We debated waiting for 2 hours but the girl in front of us said it was terrrrrrrrrible (she said it like that).  I will see the vow again.  It's no notebook but it wasn't dear john either.  Ur probably in line to see it right now huh?

Rachel: Getting popcorn as we speak

Me: HAHA knew it! Ur an animal

Rachel: Loll. So it's worth seeing again?

Me: Yeah.  I still want to see it with you.  And mom is in too.  She was like "yep, I'm in" before she knew anything about it LOL

Rachel:  Sounds about right.  She trusts you.  We should take advantage of that at some point.

Me: HAHA it's true.  I could lure her anywhere.

Rachel: Precisely.

"Room Raiders" text convo with Carissa

Me: Just remembered that time you & I burst into that apt above yours and you yelled out "RUMORS!!" instead of "ROOM RAIDERS!!" HAHA omg I love it so much

Carissa: LOL!!! And then that boomer guy literally threw us out the door!!  And then it was either you or me that got stuck in there?

Me: HAHAHA yessss!!  We were both stuck in there but then u literally got manhandled out the door and like shoved to the ground again

Carissa:  I remember being a little hurt!

Me: HAHA omg I love it.

BACKSTORY:  Breaking into neighboring apartments and impersonating the characters on MTV's Room Raiders show was one of the many "good ideas" Carissa and I had junior year of college after a full night of drinking games.
