The three stages of internet-chat friendship:
- Stage One: *slowly and carefully typing out everything, correcting every typo; occasionally blustering into each other and typing at the same time, then both erasing what you were going to say and waiting for the other to finish. awkward silence ensues; repeat ad infinitum for extra embarrassment.*
- Stage Two: *in tune with each other and your typing speed/typing style/use of emotocons. typos? pfff, fuck those. prompting eliminates awkward typing silences*
- Stage Three: *LOUDLY AND RAPIDLY TYPING TO GET YOUR OPINION OUT BEFORE THE OTHER PERSON CONTINUES MAKING THEIR POINT AND YOU FORGET YOUR VERY IMPORTANT THING TO SAY*
