locEmotion 3: Saturday 9.45pm
Well, i sent out an email in advance in the hope I could continue the little SMS experiment. Thank you again for your generosity in replying. I can't tell you how bizarre it was to get all these little sms in reply, to me, deep within the hellhole that was the Empire Hotel that night! It was a very odd feeling... taking the pulse of the night... Here they are in order.
xxxx6752: At star bar with work mates. Headache warning of potential hangover but the beer is so cheap! Wondering where boyfriend is. Oh, he just came. Oh well. Feel kinda down.
xxxx6405: I'm on my purple bed. I was praying and feeling perplexed. I was seeing what u see when u have ur eyes closed. Still perplexed and my throat hurts. Meh.
xxxx9805: the kransky sisters on sbs. my throat is dry and swollen, prone to dry coughs. perhaps i'm being punished by a greater power with a penchant for academic diligence.
xxxx6994: I'm at home. Sulking myself into a quiet saturday night in front of the tv. Feeling the guilt of not going to birthday drinks i was invited to.
xxxx9902: At empire, total mistake. Music all wrong, so bad its almost good. Gothabilly - how the hell did i end up here? Things i have to talk about with someone, later tonight... Feeling a bit worried but oddly free.
xxxx2260: I'm at the lansdowne with 2 aussie friends of mine. I'm staring at a juicy 5 dollar steak that i'm about to eat. I feel tonights going 2 be a good night.
xxxx8915: I'm at home, feeling hungover and sleepy. I can't wait to be asleep. I look around my room and see a trail of alcohol induced destruction.
xxxx4196: I'm at a family dinner, with my sisters dad and stepmother and their friends. We are having an awesome conversation about aliens creating humans...And now i am defending my use of the phone at dinner, doh! Just thinking about how nice it is to have family who might not be blood kin, but accept you as if you were..Aw.. Oh no, i have sparked debate over predictive text among the oldies, coupled with lessons on how to spell cat in half the time...
xxxx4785: I'm in canberra, i am drunk, everyone is dressed up as porn stars for a friend's 20th, tonight is fun hope i don't get sick!
xxxx8089: backseat driving down dew-covered blue quartz mountain/dancing blackdiamond light/hologram neons dressed in jewels/sparkling rhododendron/its his 8th birthday/he's dressed himself in a tiny suit with 'hidden pockets'/glowing/feeling all grown up/ we share a piece of rainbow cake/his little hand in mine/the look on his face enough to break my heart/stare out an open window/starshapes/blurry
xxxx3039: Sitting in the sun on sunday morning. Gorgeous day but feeling a bit flat. Drove my partner to a party last night. I didn't feel up to socialising.

Thanks yet again everyone.. i guess some of the things that strike me after doing this is
a) it really seems to show that people are much more fragile and sensitive than we outwardly appear to be ( is this everyone or just all of us 'cause we are reflective arty/ writer types...) what do you think?
b) it kinda makes me feel more connected with all of you... which just goes to prove that mobiles are not necessarily antisocial, as many people think.
I'm real glad i sent out that email asking permission re another sms... especially since emma's folks were a bit taken aback...!
keen to know what you all think about it?? see ya, m
absolutely we can chat about where to go from here in the last class. some of you may wish to pick up on it... or keep collaborating...
oh, and i hope emma's folks don't think i'm a weirdo!
Maybe at the end of semester we should all have a drink at the clare and work out if and how to continue on. i'd be happy to keep going, but i don't know if i want to continue being the "voice of god" ( or perhaps voice of the nurturing goddess!!) asking how you all are... Maybe that role could rotate amongst those who want to continue.. I must say though its pretty wild when all the answers come through.
If i do send another sms ( and i don't know if i will at this point) and you don't wanna respond, just don't.
ps ryan yes it was the annandale empire. why on earth did i go? I'm sure i knew it would be the pits!! deliberate amnesia perhaps...
