I have realized that I am living a lie. While I think and will tell you that I never tell falsehoods, the truth is that the lie is, well, I lie. And this is my public confession.
The nature of these lies may seem insignificant. It may seem lazy. It is certainly that latter, but the former...
You see, I have this habit... a habit of typing "lol" on IM even when I'm not laughing out loud.
Heinous, isn't it?
I've thought about it before, but never so much as when, the other night, I received this IM from Kyle while we were in the same room: "hey." I replied "lol" - after all, we were in the same room. WHICH ENABLED HIM TO CATCH ME RED-HANDED. His response? "liar" Boy do I feel awful now.
I just wish there was something like lol but not lol that would express the thought ~ "I find you amusing at the moment." I feel like "hahahaha" does about the same thing as lol. "heehee" is too 4-years-old for normal use, and "hehe" can be downright patronizing. So I have, instead of trying to create a viable alternative, been lazy and used a term that is not technically accurate.
In other news, I wish my finernails would come off more willingly...
a bunch of rambling thoughts, many of which relate to hymns and songs, theology and books, movies and tv, food and fashion, politics and the drama that is my life, but nothing really makes a consistent appearance except pictures.
