Idk, my bff rose



Blogging, texting, facebooking, or anything written through virtual means is funny business. It requires a certain rhetoric. I can not tell you how I have misinterpreted a text or had my own texts misinterpreted. For example, when I ask: "Yo Friend A what do you think about going to a movie tonight?" And they respond: "Ok." What am I to make of that? Are they excited, do they really want to go, when can they be there...I have no idea! Yes, girls analyze these things way too much (and boys are professionals at leaving vague texts or comments let me add), but come on people give me something to work with! That is why I insist on using winks, haha, jk's, lol's, or the lovable smiley face. Then people know exactly when you're coming, if something is meant to be a joke, or if you actually feel any sort of emotion about the topic you're talking about. It's just nice. Especially if it's a touchy subject or you aren't too close with the person and can't really ask for more clarification without sounding too desperate or needy. It's quite a tricky subject. So next time you text, do everyone a favor and add a little emotional abbreviation; it will make everyone happier :)
