Kerry and I were idly browsing around the web looking at various things like FaceBook, when she started looking at her friend Verge’s MySpace page. Now, strangely enough, Kerry doesn’t have a MySpace page. She has a FaceBook page, her own web site, is a complete gmail and Google Chat addict, endlessly browses other people’s blogs, but doesn’t have a MySpace page. As it so happens, I foolishly signed up for one of those retarded corners of the web world when it was first popular. I’ve since run screaming into the night.
I mean MySpace, in my not so humble opinion, is a safe-haven for LSD-induced page layouts, strange and horrible music arrangements, and just plain bad mojo, but I digress …
There I was, braving the perils of MySpace so that we could look at some of Verge’s pictures when I noticed that my friend Kendal had updated his photo album with new pictures. Of course I had to take a look. That was when things started to unwind.
As it turns out, it looked like Kendal had a new girlfriend. That, of course meant that I had to text him. The conversation went like this (quoted from my phone’s text logs):
Me: Dude, when did you start dating Erica?
Kendal: Excuse You!!!
Me (a little confused): Your MySpace profile seems to indicate that :-). How goes life?
Kendal: Read what you wrote blockhead!!!
At this point I thought a review of what I’d sent was appropriate. Here’s what was actually recorded in my phone log:
Me: Dude, when did you start eating Erica?
I’m mortified. The humiliation never ceases.

Quite frankly, I was mortified that my refined, highly educated, cultured boyfriend with the rather expansive vocabulary would resort to using the interjection “Dude!” not only in conversation, but in texting no less.
I am still coming to terms with this hours later.
I think I’m still trying to come to terms with the fact that Andy is texting at all…From everything you’ve said about him I thought he was far too “cool” for texting.
I was beginning to think I was the only person over 17 who actually texted people. (I really hate the term “texted” it just feels so wrong to type it…

WTF?
that’s f**king lame. Write in English please. We’re in America, ya know…
Translation: Oh really, I’ve owned some newbies with my elite speak. If you google “leetspeak” or “leetspeek” you’ll find that it is commonly used by young people on the web or for texting.
