2007 IN TEXT MESSAGEScleanin’ out my closet inbox
One of the reasons I love using Gmail is that I never have to delete e-mails; I can just make them hide away in a place where I can find them if I need them. If only my phone's inbox would be so kind.
But alas, my phone is full of messages that I just can't bring myself to delete but that take up too much space and block incoming texts. So I came up with this solution.
What follows is a slightly abridged, slightly redacted hall of fame of sorts. I suppose you can consider these the best of 2007, those esteemed text messages that for some reason or another survived in my inbox through the start of 2008:

Ah and now that they've been properly enshrined for the ages, these famous and/or infamous texts have all been deleted to make way for the funny, touching, random, confusing and otherwise noteworthy texts of 2008.
