Well, at least her talent made her able to buy some nice clothes...

Well, she only typed that fast because LG bent the rules and gave everyone phones with qwerty keypads (they usually use normal number pads in the competition).

My opinion: she should use this money to see a psychiatrist.

i'm 110% positive i could text faster than her. my last bill i did 11,000 in the month. i had no interest in the public display of something i enjoy doing, even though three of my close friends strongly recommended i enter.
