In an effort to sharpen up my writing skills, I’ve decided to try and do at least one of these writing prompts from this site regularly.  I’m pretty tired and brain dead so I chose one that was fairly easy and didn’t require much brain power. Here’s  my quick attempt at one tonight:

You’re at a U2 concert when you receive a text from a friend that says, “You’ll never believe what just happened to me!” In the form of a text chat, find out what happened to your friend.

Well, I started writing this in texting language but texting language really pisses me off, so I’m writing it properly.

LYNNE:  You’ll never guess what happened!

ME: What?

LYNNE:  Guess!

ME: These texts cost me money & you said I won’t guess anyway.  What is it?

LYNNE: Guess who I saw on the way to the ladies?

ME:  Argh!  Just tell me!!!

LYNNE:  Larry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ME:  Larry who?

LYNNE:  erk you are so uncool – Larry Mullen – the cute drummer.

ME: from u2?

LYNNE: yessssss!!!!!! OMG he’s gorgeous!

ME:  I prefer Bono.  What was he doing?

LYNNE:  umm… actually, he had tools with him & started to unblock a loo.

ME: what?

LYNNE:  I dunno…Maybe times are tough?  Second job?

ME: U2 don’t need to unblock toilets for a living.  You sure it was Larren Mullen?

LYNNE: His mate called him Larry.

ME: There’s more than 1 Larry in this world you know.

LYNNE:  But what’s the chances of there being another one at a U2 concert?

ME:  You are so blonde.
