It seems in this day and age of touch typing and send buttons, the English language has been replaced by hyphens, dots, dashes, brackets, catch phrases, and cleverly abbreviated words. The other day I deleted all but five people from my MSN contact list. It shouldn't be that easy to have a conversation with me. I shouldn't have to stand for a little yellow "smiley face" instead of a real emotion. That's not real. I don't want the conversations to start with hey, whats up? or even worse wuz up?

I used to play this game with a friend of mine, we don't talk anymore, she became an insult to my personality. This game, one of us would say the lyric we just heard, or whichever lyric jumped into our heads. Then, the next person would have to think of a lyric that matched one word in the lyric.
For example;
Person 1: "I love rock & roll" - Joan Jett
Person 2: "I am a rock, I am an island" - Simon and Garfunkel
Person 1: "Is it cool on your island?" - Tori Amos
And so on. Back and fourth. I miss that.

I have five remaining people on my MSN list. Nicknames I will instantly click on upon their arrival online, or mine. People who are a delight to talk to. I don't have to put up with the stupidity anymore. It's very liberating. Deleting people who never tell you anything, deleting people who have forgotten the original usage of puncuation.

In short, if you would like to "text to me" via MSN.

Hello.
How's your life going?
I'd love to talk for a while.
