After some deliberation I decided I would just send increasingly ridiculous messages until the problem takes care of itself.
Message Sent:
Sorry I didnt call I am partying with the turtle :/
Honestly, I'm not even sure what that means. With the uneasy face it's uncertain whether or not partying with the turtle is a positive or negative experience, so I'll leave it open to interpretation.
Message Received:
Ok u having fun with the turtle I just at home doing nothing just want to know u ok that
Maybe this person has their own blog and are playing along for more exciting posts? Perhaps I stumbled upon a secret code word or 'turtle' is the nickname of a 'mutual' friend? I'm just going to assume they're just going with the flow because they're bored. I'd better keep it interesting then!
Message Sent:
Honestly that turtle really wallops a party. They are nature's ninja after all :/
I am, of course, basing my knowledge of nature's ninjas on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They might actually be unnatural abominations but God help me they are radical. Also I hear Michaelangelo is a party dude, which further backs my claims.
I've got no more time to talk now because Raphael wants to check his email. Kind of rude but it's okay, he's cool. :/

Voice of Unreason
I thought it was done. I thought that my ridiculous uneasy-faced comments would finally free me from this rogue caller hell bent on believing that I am their friend. But alas, here we are again. This time it was not just a text message, but a full fledged voice message.
Voice Message Received:
Hey youuu, call me back!
The tone was friendly and direct. Nothing uneasy about this!
What? Why? You went through my voice message and assuredly heard that I am not the person you think I am. Maybe they didn't bother to listen to the recording and just left a message all willy-nilly like.
Unless! Unless it turns out I do know this person. Maybe I have a long forgotten friend who is trying to become reaquainted. But why would they ask how my date went... I haven't had any recent dates to inquire about.
Unless! Unless it was referring to date as the food. But how would this person know I'd been eating dates? Also there is the fact that I haven't eaten any dates recently either.
Well, I'm stumped. I can't possibly leave a voice message in reply as it is nearly impossible to convey an uneasy face vocally over the phone. Maybe if I ignore it then it'll go away? :/

Uneasy Face to Face
There comes a time when everyone must (uneasy) face their inner demons. This is not that time. In fact, it is not even close to that time. This is a time when a random text message conversation continues against all odds.
Message Received:
Hi what are doing I am bored that am texting
Well now, it seems this person cannot help but seek out my enthralling text messages to satiate their entertainment needs. At least I assume that is what is meant by this garbled cornucopia of words.
Message Sent:
Im just chillin like a villain. Also pasta eating! :/
I try and play it cool by announcing my 'chillin' state. I don't want to appear too cold, however, and thus I allude to the previous burning pasta incident to heat things up. Icy cold to dull the text then hot to relax it away. Then uneasy face to bring back that comforting familiarity that has been established.
Hours pass and no response. I can only wonder if I've done something wrong. Maybe it's...oh of course. I know what I've done. My downfall lie in comparing myself to a villain, which could possibly be misconstrued as a likeness to this person's warlock nemesis. I'd better put right this wrong and hope I'm not too late!
Message Sent:
Sorry, didnt mean to imply your warlock friend :/
There, all smoothed over. The uneasy face shows how difficult it is to apologize for such an incredible misunderstanding. I can only pray that I will be forgiven and, in time, we can both look back on this and text 'lol' :/

The Saga Continues
Last we left our hero (me), the mistaken correspondence had reached a dramatic conclusion. Or so it was thought anyway! It turns out that events far greater than could be imagined were occurring to cause the alignment of another unprecedented text message.
Message Received:
Ok you forgot me already tks so how your date everything ok
Whaaaaa? Could it be that someone has actually believed my incredible fabrications but does not acknowledge my final message as being true?! Well then it appears it has been decided. This conversation was destined to take place!
Message Sent:
Id never forget Im just foolin around. everything went fine what you up to :/
A quick retraction to cover my tracks, of course I know what's going on! This couldn't possibly be a wrong number that's just been screwing with you. Let's find out more about this mystery person. Adding an uneasy face is a must to show that this is serious business.
Message Received:
Nothing much that good to hear everything going well with u as for me tida don't call me anymore because her old friend is back her name is kim u remember
Alright, this person has bought my clever ruse. Now there are some names that can be used to add to the shambling lie that is this conversation. I'll put those in my pocket for later.
Message Received:
her let be it wont last
The end of the previous message has arrived. I'm not exactly sure it was needed except for the added statement of hope that a rival friendship fails. Clearly this person is in need of some kind words from a friend. Looks like it's up to me to pretend to be there in this time of need.
Message Sent:
Tale as old as time my friend. She will see the error of her dark ways :/
Starting with a statement that shows I can relate is a must. Then I might as well back that up by implying that this Tida person is some sort of menacing warlock. And let's toss an uneasy face on the end there to show that I am no fan of menacing warlocks.
Message Received:
I dont care anymore
Hmm, that's unfortunate. This person has written off their warlock friend and has fallen into a saddened state I assume. Time to stop fooling around, time to show that I am a compassionate person, time to give 'em the ol' uneasy face!
Message Sent:
Im sorry, i hope unending glee finds you :/
There now I can rest easy knowing that I've comforted a stranger that has been assuming I'm their friend or something. It doesn't get any better than that, probably. My good deed for the day is done and I can go home confident that I've made the world a better place. And add an uneasy face to toss a cherry on that already delicious sundae that are my comforting words.
Will this end here? Will the mystery texter find that unending glee and face off against the master of the dark arts that was once called friend? We'll have to wait and see. Only time will tell what lies ahead. :/

Uneasy Face Begins
It began as most things do, a randomly sent text message received at a time of whimsical merriment. This accidental incident was an opportunity not to be taken lightly, and thus a blog had to be formed.
Message received:
Hi my dear how are u doing havent hear from u are ok how your date call me when u have time ok
What's this, a sudden inquiry about a date from an unknown number? Well now this can only end in disaster if not handled just right.
Message sent:
Didnt go so well, dont think shes gonna make it :/
Nothing says 'you have the wrong number' like a comment implying something terrible has happened. And if this vague reply wasn't enough then the uneasy face following it should certainly seal the deal.
Message received:
What u mean are u ok
This person is now concerned that this date of mine took a turn for the worst. Not wanting to cause unnecessary worry in a stranger a reassuring reply had to be sent immediately.
Message sent:
Im a little burnt and the pasta was too hot but overall great :/
There, now everything is explained. It was a simple miscommunication, turns out everything is fine apart from an ambiguous pasta burn. Better toss an uneasy face in there just to make sure the message is clear. Perfect.

Message Sent:
Oops! Im so sorry, I thought you were my friend paul :/
Hearing no further reply I figured it'd be best to end this on good terms. I send a comment that shows that a miscommunication has taken place with an apology for any emotional trauma I may have caused. Now I've set things right and can sleep with a clean conscience.

Some part of me had regrets that I ended something that might have been truly special. I cut short what could have been a long and ridiculous journey of words between strangers. But it was over now, I did what had to be done.
Little did I know, this journey had only just begun. :/
