All of these are original - I made them up myself - Don't Steal!
Be Right Back
All right, now I admit I am guilty of this, but one thing that frustrates me to no end is when you write "brb" on MSN and then the person your talking to says "ok" or "k". I mean its nice that they take it in consideration and that way you know that they read your post, but if you say that you'll be right back, you're probably not going to be sitting there at the computer to see them say "k". Even if you say "brb" and minimize it to do something else quickly, seeing the little button on the taskbar go orange and interrupting what you are doing is so annoying!
On another, similar note, "brb" should remain as "be right back" as in leaving the computer, but if you are going to just minimize your messenger, I suggest using one of the following:
1) mnm = minimizin' messenger
2) wose = working on something else
3) ho1s/hoos = hang on one second
4) gcs = gotta check something
5) in2ds = I need to do something
6) wox/ms = working on Xanga/MySpace
7) fm = finding music
8) t2seom = talking to someone else on msn
9) lmfstuwslola - let me find somethin that u will say lol about
And the one that speaks the truth:
10) IDRWT2U - I don't really wanna talk to you!
The Use of Ellipses[/u]
Okay, we're all guilty of it. Every single one of us on either MSN or Yahoo Messenger have used those three forsaken dots to express a point, express boredom, or express our love for the period key. For those of you who don't know, an ellipsis (ellipses for plural) are three sequential dots (...) used in place of a word. Most of you are thinking, "Yeah, I've used them, but I don't over-use them." And that's where you're wrong! At the end of your next messenger conversation, save it or just scroll up and look how many times you have used those dots. They will take over if we're not careful! (LOL)
Most people just use ellipses at the end of a message to show that their sentence is trailing off or they do not know what to say next. But who's to say that an ellipsis must be three dots? "Well, that is the definition," you may whine. Big deal. Screw Merriam-Webster and their many knock-offs. We should celebrate all the keys on the keyboard, not just the period. "So, what key or keys should we use in place of them?" Well, I'm glad you asked. Move to the left one space. Voila, there is the comma, the period's sickly cousin. Or visit the top of the keyboard and use an at sign, @, or an ampersand, &. You could even use the carat key, ^. Just suggestions.
Although this may seem silly (and actually, it is because I am just writing this out of what resulted from boredom and a random conversation on MSN: thank you, Keisha), there is some truth to it. Dots are all around us. Don't believe me? Take my username that I use for my e-mails and Xanga, "decendantofthesun21." Abbreviate it and what do you get? "DOTS21"
They're everywhere........
Also, you know how my username abbreviated is DOTS21: I was thinking about it, and if you write 21 as twenty-one, you could further abbreviate it as DOTSTO. That's kind of like DOTS TOO, which is like DOTS ALSO, which is kind of saying that there are "dots also" in my name..... *eye twitches*
"You'd be amazed at the subliminal occurences that are all around us; just open your eyes."
Here are some funny quotes to shed some light on your day:
1) "Rock the f*** out like you just won both showcases."
2) "Freak the f*** out like you're Tom Cruise on Oprah."
3) "Life's a b*tch because if it were easy, it'd be a very *friendly* person."
4) "The best things in life are free... If you're willing to buy a timeshare."
5) "If Star Trek was supposed to be all futuristic, couldn't they think of a better name than Scotty?"
6) "If Hank and Bobby could watch King of the Hill, Hank would make Bobby leave the room."
7) "Isn't it possible that we're all really just colourblind and have been reformatted like those really old Disney movies that are now on DVD?"
8) "Midgets should come free in every box of frosted Mini-Wheat."
9) "Everyone should own at least one midget."
10) "Ever wonder if illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup?"
11) "If you can't say anything nice about anybody, come sit by me!"
12) "Most people are only alive because it's illegal to shoot them."
Majority of those were thought of by me, but not all of them. #11 is off a movie, #12 is from a friend, #10 is from a book, #9 is from a friend
Under-Appreciated Holidays
Okay, I am so sick of all the under-appreciated holidays that no one cares about anymore cluttering up my calendar! I mean President's Day, Arbour Day, Earth Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and Labour Day - just to name a few. Who really wakes up on these holidays and thinks, "Wow! I can't believe its [insert holiday here]! I've waited all yea-" NO! No one does! This p1sses me off! If American citizens have to put their tax dollars through just so the veterans' can put some half-@$$ holiday in those little boxes, I expect the American public to honour them. "So what can we do on these holidays?" you may ask. Well, let's see. On Arbour Day, plant a tree or at least a small bush. On Earth Day, recycle: pick up the paper wads around the trash can and put them in the trash can. On Mother's and Father's Days, buy something for them, or if you're broke, just give them a hug and say, "I love you." They eat that crap up. On Labour Day, go to a factory and watch people do hard work. Trust me, when they chop of a finger or two, it's mildly hilarious... (if your sense of humour is as morbid as mine.) "What about President's Day?" you ask. Well, until they make a Citizens Who Have to Put Up with Presidential Crap Day, I think we're okay in not worrying about it.
I'm also sad to say that another beloved holiday has finally reached the under-appreciated holiday list: Thanksgiving. "But I just celebrated it a few months ago," you may whine. Well, look at it this way.... From October 1 to October 30, Wal*Mart has Halloween decor all around. On October 31, the day of Halloween, the decorations come down and the Christmas decorations go up before noon. All throughout the Thanksgiving holiday weeks, the only thing the store does to acknowledge it is put turkeys on sale for a whole two percent off..... O_x. I mean, how hard is it to put up an effin pilgrim poster? Huh? People don't understand that this is the holocaust of turkeys; we get to eat good food and in the process, help an entire species of annoying little muthas get closer to extinction! This is a glorious day, people! Soon, the Christmas decorations are going to be up at the beginning of September and NO ONE WANTS THAT! So, in the spirit of under-appreciated holidays, help celebrate them or help destroy them... make your choice.
Hilarious, ne?
