Yes, exactly. I only use periods when my text is longer than one sentence, which is quite rare since these conversations happen mostly in real time. I texted a bit different when my texts were limited to 250 per month. Now that I have unlimited texting, i'd be more inclined to send the two sentences I want to write separately than put it in one text and use punctuation. It's crazy how punctuation actually affects the meaning of the sentence: I'm not mad. I'm not mad... I'm not mad I'm not mad :) These easily range from "everything's fine" to "we're getting in a fight when you get home".
