Scenes of the Cell Phone Life....
The world is crazy, real crazy. And cell phones add up to it. Here's a Saturday afternoon scene:
I get up from a lovely 2 hour nap, switch my cell phone on and find the following message:
that you are dating someone i'm really happy about it i hop you're very happy bye kiss i love you
I click on message options, look for the sender and find an unknown cell phone number (from my city). I pressed "Reply" and answered:
Who are you?
I get this answer:
who are you tel me your name
So I reply:
No, unless you tell me who you are
I receive:
I'm nora and you
By now it was high time I clarified the scene a bit so I replied:
Patricia. Do I know you?
Two minutes later, I get a call from my new-found friend, Nora. Here's our conversation:
Nora: - Hi, I'm Nora, the messages girl. Where did you get my number?
Patito: - Where did you get mine? I started getting sms's and I replied to them to see who they were from. Someone must have gotten your number and started sending messages. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Nora: - Mmmmm OK, no problem.
Patito: - OK, then. Bye.
Nora: - Bye.
Oh well!I don't know who the heck this Nora is, or why she's upset that I'm dating my Andrés. ¿A secret fan, maybe? Or maybe a friend or a sister of a secret fan. Who knows...

P.S: This is a translation of the original message in Spanish I posted at our joint forum.

Yes, Roger, you're right. Here, a cell phone is any GSM, TDMA or CDMA device... basically, any cell phone. A "handy" would be a two-way radio device, or a cell phone with two-way radio capabilities. :-)
Madness.
I use to speak with you by phone as well, but as far as I know, our phone calls are more interesting. :)
Cheers and we'll have a drink soon again, I reckon.

You´re always one step beyond. First, people in the subway fall in love with you, and now through the cell phone...
I rock, don't I? :-P
