Ahhhh...the good old days of grade school. The days when wearing bright green biker shorts under your purple skirt was a fashion statement, and Slap Bracelets were a force not to be reckoned with.
I chatted with my 13 year old sister last night online...and 3 of her friends. She gave them all my screen name apparently because now they all think they're my friend. I swear, nearly everytime I sign on to AOL, I have a new 8th grade "buddy" to talk to you. Mind you, our conversations consist mostly of "LOL," "OMG," "he he," "ha ha," "LMAO," and other Instant message slang they throw upon me, as if making up new and improved abreviations of words (and words they can't say for fear of their mommy or daddy walking up behind them) is some kind of huge victory. I'm not complaining completely though. You see, they laugh after pretty much everything I say, which leads me to believe that everything that escapes my lips (or fingers in this case) is LOL HILIARIOUS! Here's an example of a conversation I had with one of the girls last night...
(Fattcattoreo is the friend. I'm the chick who's crazy for coco).
Fattcattoreo: Hi!
Crazy4coco5: Um...hi...who's this?
Fattcattoreo: He he. hi. what's up?!
Crazy4coc5: uh, not much...Do I know you?
Fattcattoreo: I'm Jenna's friend
Crazy4coco5: Jenna? Who's Jenna?
Fattcattoreo: hehe. you're silly. are you joking?
Crazy4coco5: Nope. not joking.
Fattcattoreo: You're sister! hehe.
Crazy4coco5: oOo. You're Jennifer's friend. Wait...she goes by Jenna now?
Fattcattoreo: Yeah
Crazy4coco5: Interesting. She never told me
Fattcattoreo: Everybody knows
Crazy4coco5: Wonderful. So I'm the last one, huh?!
Fattcattoreo: HAHA
Side note: how was that funny? That sucks!
Crazy4coco5: So, "Jenna's" friend. Which one am I speaking to?
Fatcattoreo: KELSEY! And you're not speaking* to me. You're chatting* with me. :-)
Crazy4coco5: Hey Kelsey.
Crazy4coco5: Oh, yeah. thanks for pointing that out. I had no idea.
Fatcattoreo: He He. LMAO!!! you're sooooo funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crazy4coco5: Um..wow. thanks. thanks so much. Yeah, I gotta go do some reading for school right now. Take care Kelsey.
Fatcattoreo: Is college hard?
Crazy4coco5: Um. A little. Not to bad. Just a lot of reading and studying.
Fatcattoreo: oOo i c
Fatcattoreo: Are the boyz really hot?????????????
Crazy4coc5: haha. Um. Some. But I don't pay much attention. School is learning time. Remember that!
Fatcattoreo: lol
Fatcattoreo: OoooOK. I bet the parties are fun
Fatcattoreo: oh. I gotta go.
Crazy4coco5: K. bye
Fatcattoreo: BYEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (And a bunch of smiley faces followed this)
And that was the jist of our conversation. Yeah, pretty funny. Kids these days I tell ya....ahhh....sigh....
Can you believe my sister didn't tell me about changing her name from "Jennifer" to "Jenna?" I must be a really horrible sister or something to be the last one to know about it. Ah well. She told me last night via IM that she "loves me 4 ever! I'm the BEST big sister she has!" Mind you, I'm the only big sister she has, so imagine what it would be like if I had to compete with someone else for the title. I wonder, if she had another older sibling if she would have told them about her name change? Hmmmm...I guess I'll just never know.
Hope I IM-tertained you today! If not... well WGAF! (another IM abbrev. I learned) But I don't really mean that.
