The Internet - Home of Intellectuals
So, it's been a boring day at work. On such boring days, I look for alternate activities to fill my time. Sometimes I find something marginally related to programming, so it's not a total waste. Sometimes I don't, and then I play poker on Yahoo (which is just marginally less boring than staring at a blank screen).
While I'm slowly rebuilding my stash of Yahoo poker money, I notice something resembling a conversation going on in the lobby. So I check it out.
hannahrobson05: are you there? blahblahthat: dark brown hair,59,hazel eyes,130 Ahh, I can see where this is going.
hannahrobson05: nice hannahrobson05: i am 5 foot6 blahblahthat: nice hannahrobson05: thankz So, now that we're reaffirmed that everyone looks equally nice on the Internet, a real conversation can begin.
hannahrobson05: do u smoke blahblahthat: hell no hannahrobson05: why blahblahthat: i dunno blahblahthat: do you? hannahrobson05: i do is that ok blahblahthat: yes hannahrobson05: thankzMy initial reaction: *blink blink*. blah's initial reaction seemed fairly strong to not have a reason to not smoke. Then hannah has to ask if it's okay if she smokes. The reasoning behind blah's answer? Either "Yes, I'll say anything to get you into my e-bed" or "Yes, since you're in someone else's house and I can't control anything you do". I'm wagering on the first one.
hannahrobson05: what do u want to chat about blahblahthat: what kind of music do you likehannah's quickly losing interest, so she prompts blah for a topic of conversation. blah responds with the best he's got. For your sake, I'll cut out the uninteresting responses.
hannahrobson05: are u in to girls blahblahthat: yesAfter a rather short and awkward discussion of music interests, hannah decides that blah obviously needs some help. She hands him a very easy and leading question and is rewarded with the knowledge that her would-be suitor is not gay (or possibly a lesbian).
hannahrobson05: have u got a gf blahblahthat: not at the momenthannah digs for more info. I love blah's response. "Not at the moment, but I have a feeling that will in a minute."
hannahrobson05: i havent got a bfAfter this was said, you have no idea how long I had to wait for this drama to continue. Either blah was typing a rather lengthly exposition (and he was a slow typer), or else he was simply too busy doing something important. Like playing Yahoo poker.
hannahrobson05: will u go out with me? hannahrobson05: loll blahblahthat: yes,but you have to stop smoking hannahrobson05: ok i willhannah presses on. blah agrees and immediately starts laying down the law of the land.
blahblahthat: how long have you lived in england? hannahrobson05: but i can not stop i am adicked hannahrobson05: 18 years blahblahthat: its ok well work on it hannahrobson05: i will work on stop smoking babeSo, after an iron-clad agreement, blah decides that he needs to know a bit more about his e-gf. Then, conflict strikes! hannah is "adicked". blah immediately compromises (so much for the law of the land). Note that hannah has lived in England for 18 years, hence she's at least 18 years old. What's the legal age of consent in England?
hannahrobson05: so we go out blahblahthat: yes hannahrobson05: coolFeeling a little uncertain of the situation, hannah has to ask if he's for real. With a contract like that, it'd take a legion of lawyers to try to break these two apart.
blahblahthat: do you have a job? hannahrobson05: yes i am a hair dresser blahblahthat: coolAh-ha! And now we see that hannah has been deviously manipulated into blah's ultimate plot. By playing the naive non-suitor, he has successfully made a claim on hannah. Now he needs to know if she has money.
They chat for a minute longer. hannah is apparently babysitting and suddenly realizes that she should be watching children, and blah admits that he has a mohawk. hannah feels the need to tell blah her complete schedule and somehow completely mangles the word "mohawk" (mowekan). It ends with hannah adding blah to her friends list.
After fun like that, who needs poker?
