Texting is the best!....NOT

So yes I am a avid texter and enjoy it greatly being able to reach my friends with a little instant message to their phone in a matter of second. I have carried on many long conversations (one lasting form when I woke up at 6 till I went to bed at 12 with ONE person) and have carried on multiple ones at one time (yes i have sent the wrong message to people and it has been awkward). But there are things recently that have left a bitter taste in my mouth about texting. For one I have friends who will text me and we will be having a conversation and then I send my reply and...nothing. Nada, zilch, zero no reply from them for the rest of the day. Okay, what just happened here? Did you forget? Is your phone dead? I mean there has to be an explanation, I mean heck is your network hating on mine? I'd understand if it was but let me knooooow. But alas I do not get that knowledge. It is lame and i dislike it. This unfortunately happens with two of my friends. I try to not let it get to me but then again it happens and I am just gah! But yes it is lame. I suppose that is generally just their texting habits but I do not know. Perhaps even they do not have unlimited texting but still I'd like to know.

Another thing that bothers me is when you give someone a extensively long text and then all you get in return is: Ya. What? No that is not a correct response for what I said, give me something with some more depth. I feel awkward when get this because it feels as though the conversation has ended and I have no idea what to say. I usually just say yep or mhm and go on to something else but its just so confusing. I wanted a response something to have us continue the conversation but it appears that will not happen now. Yeah it is lame. I don't know maybe its just me and I am weird? That could be it and i am reading too deeply into it or something. Guess I'll just wait and see.
