I’ve always enjoyed fairy tales, and I enjoy the original fairy tales. So I’m not a stranger to the fact that in the original Cinderella, her stepmother sliced off her daughter’s toes and heels to make it fit into the slipper.

That must have made walking a breeze! But I never knew that Sleeping Beauty was raped by the prince while she was “dead”. And because of that, she gave birth to twins. Quite disgusting really, making love to a “dead” body… the same thing went for Snow White, although she was technically, mentally perhaps, was seven at the time. Pedophilia anyone?
Anyway, on to more important matters…

So I was IMing my friend last night and read over the things I’ve said, I’ve realized that I sounded like a complete pervert… Or at least what I’m trying to say can be communicated and taken several different ways…

For Example:

Friend: He’s handsome, to me anyway…

Me: Ah! My preferences are so weird! Some people even ask, Danni, are you a lesbo? (*Note: I was talking about Japanese Rock and how I love their gaudy attire)

Friend: ...

Me: Then I’m like, if the girl has a penis.

What?! Really, what am I saying? I’m saying that if it’s a guy, then sure. Well it made sense to me then, but when I read it over, I always go, “Why did I write that down?” Sure you can tell me, “Think before you type, so that we won’t have to listen to your stupid little rants,”

Come on! Who thinks when they’re IMing?! It’s suppose to act like a conversation not an intelligent debate! And I hate to be those God-Awful people who pause for such a long time to think about what they’re going to say. Which I really think is a clever way to ignore people without hurting their feelings. If I thought before putting down a response to an IM, this is how it would go…

Friend: Hello? You still there?
Me: Yeah, I’m just trying to think of something to say…
Friend: It’s not that hard really, just tell me if my dress in nice or not.
Me: *still thinking*

It won’t work and I won’t have any friends!
In texting or in IMing, abbreviations are needed to make conversation easier, but perhaps, I should be careful of my abbreviations too. I’m always paranoid that I’m gonna end up racist.

My Text Message: OMG! Have you heard that new Jap band?!
That can be interpreted as “OMG! Japanese band?! EW!!” But then again, I’m just being paranoid.

This reminds me… when I just started IMing people, I knew what “btw” meant but I never knew what “hb” was… So every time I go, “Ah! BRB!! Bathroom!” they always response… “K… hb.”

And I stare at it for so long, going, “What the hell does that mean?!” Then I forget what I have to do. So I just go, “I’m back!” Then, fuck it! They reply with “wb”

…

What does that mean? Well, of course I know now, but man! It wasn’t clear back then! Oh, and here’s an embarrassing IMing mishap…

Me: AH!! OMG!! BLAH BLAH! YEAH AND LIKE… BLAH BLAH
Friend: Um… are you on caps? Can you take it off?
At this point I’m just like “???” So, stupidly, and ridiculously, I answer with…
Me: LOL! :D SO AS I WAS SAYING…

WHAT?!!!! I have bad experience with abbreviations, that’s why I spell everything out, UNLESS I am sure of it.
PS: Don’t text during ceramics class, gets your phone all clay-y.
