And indeed, if

You don't even know how much I agree with all of this. Chatty people confuse me. And people that text you with absoultely nothing to say. Or worse, call you, BUT LOL, SO NOT ANSWERING, GO AWAY. There should be an unavailable to chat setting for rl.

I like having time to reply to stuff, and I like only having to say something when and if I have something to say, so yeah, lj is the bestest.

It's so nice to hear that I'm not the only one, bb. AND GOD YES RANDOM PEOPLE WHO CALL FOR NO REASON AND EXPECT YOU TO MAKE CHIT CHAT FOR LIKE AN HOUR WHAT IS THAT?

The guy that inspired this post has backed off a bit, but still tried to start a conversation on my wall while I was live blogging through Doctor Who today. I was like, guy, you don't talk about live blogging while someone is live blogging, away with you. I think lj has spoiled me for what I expect other people to know about online communication. :/

Yep, lj has definitely spoiled us. Our newbs are probably about as saavy as most randoms from fb. We're just streets ahead in all the ways.

But I guess other people just use the internet differently wrongly.
