My conversation with...."Waleed"...
Okay I don't know how many of you here on Livejournal use ICQ. I understand the program is used all over the globe, but I have noticed that for some reason, 98% of the messages I get are from supposed Arabs or Egyptians. Never ever ever do I get someone from the U.S. For awhile I was wondering if these people I'd get messages from were in fact Americans with nothing else to do in their spare time. They all seem to ask to be on your contact list without even getting to know you first, as if I ask for a request to be added to my list just because I felt like it. Today I got another unsurprising 50 million of these messages, and decided to have some fun with one of them:

waleed (11:08 PM) : plz goooooooooooooo
Lana (11:08 PM) : Lesson #1. You don't *go* from an online conversation, you simply *stop typing*
Seriously, I have no problem talking to foreign people. I actually find it great to talk to someone that's so far away from you and to find out what it's like to live there. However, getting imms from 345345 "foreign" people a day that try to talk to me even though they "can't" wears me out...A lot actually have tried starting up some cyber sex with me....now you know my point. Lol, Whatever.
ARGH there's a mosquito flying around....there had better not be any in my room tonight...
