Ok so there's a lot of stuff that I don't understand and it would take forever to go over it all. So I'm not gonna do that. I just wanted to talk about a few things, like emoticons.
I honestly don't understand them. I get that it's fun to put little faces at the end of messages but when that little smiley face is the only thing you send as a response I get confused. It's like you're having a conversation right?
Random person that's going to become very annoying soon- "I'm not going to make it today."
Me- "Maybe another day."
Random person that just became very annoying- " :) "
Me- " . . . "
That's usually my response. I'll spend maybe five minutes looking at that smiley face thinking "What the heck am I supposed to do with that?" Do I smiley face them back? Do I start a new topic? Is the conversation over? I don't know. It annoys me to no end. I don't send you confusing little faces as a response to your texts so I would appreciate it if you didn't do it to me. Now if they put it in with some words then I can forgive them. Example:
Me- "Being an introvert is like being Robert Downey Jr. in your head and Castiel in real life."
Best friend- "Ba ha ha! Love it :D"
Me- "Thought you would"
Example #2:
Me- "What are you up to today?"
Best friend- "Just got back from a day out with Thomas :)"
Me- "Who is Thomas?"
Best friend-" Thomas the Train. the event is 'day out with Thomas' :)"
Me- "Is it sad that Thomas the Train was my first thought but I figured I'd give you the benefit of the doubt. Are you with your nephew?"
See? Those are much better uses of the smiley face because while it still has the cutesy smileyness of the emoticon it also gives me something to work with.
Another thing I don't understand is why my mother insists on calling me when she could just text. Example:
Me, being a good daughter and offering to cook dinner-" What do you want for dinner?"
*Phone rings* Mom- "I have to work late tonight so you guys can have whatever you want."
Me-" I can bring you something" (and the conversation continues)
Why can't she just text? I mean she knows how much I despise talking on the phone. Yet she insists on calling me.
There are other things that confuse me but those were two things that have been on my mind this afternoon.
Yes those are actual conversations. I know I'm kinda strange. . . . . .
Ok! More than just kinda, I'm a complete weirdo. The sad part is those are "Normal" conversations.
