Sharing a secret...



I am the Queen if the modern land of drunken text, to the point where i pick a fight, repeatedly text 15 or more times asking people what they are doing at... well let's see... 4 in the morning to try and wake them up and then finally end the war with serious amount of question marks. Firstly one ? then a ????? then a ????????????. I love telling people I sat on my phone.... (because girls generally have phones in their pocket and all!) 

Who are victims of this texting abuse... anyone who is my phone. Warning: watch your back next time you consider giving me your number. Thats not even a joke. 

I would like to say I have said goodbye to this addiction since being with my boyfriend... but i'd be telling a lie. Just the other night he texted me to tell me he had got us 2 free tickets to the Easter show. 

The sober Zoe's reaction would have been... 
"I Freaking love the Easter Show and even more I love free things". 

Drunken Zoe (who we like to call frank the tank) asks "who from?""does she have a crush on you?""Take her instead". 

WOW. Where did this eruption come from? I'll tell you: berry mojito number 6! 

Now I do like to blame certain types of alcohol. I'm commonly heard saying "Rose and White wine make me do it" and the numerous times I drink something else and still text, I just blame it on the evil two. Realistically, I have a drunken texting problem. 

I'm not going to joke and say I'm an alcoholic because binge drinking and alcoholism is a major problem and costs lives. But this is a major threat to my social life and my ability to have any friends left. 

So what is the answer to this problem? I scooped up some old books the other day.. One being A book written by Aussie's Zoe Foster and Hamish Blake. It's called Textbook Romance. Interestingly enough i got it from my Secret Santa two years ago, once again, my problem is so well-known that my dear friend Ellie feels she needs to buy me self-help books! 

It's a seriously funny book with great advice and a guy's point of view!

It hasn't cured my problem yet, but it is a book that beats you on the head and says "stop it you freak". 

My personal piece of advice to end this post is: If you have had to delete his number from your phone to stop yourself from texting because he hasn't texted you- that is not how relationships start. If you're looking for some fun, go ahead. If not... find someone else.
