"hey"
"Hey! What's up?"
"Not much, you?"
"Oh, you know, just hangin' out. Watching Sean Connery be awesome."
"Cool."
"Yup. So, how've you been?
"Okay."
"Just... plain old ok?"
"Yeah, just ok I guess."
"Ah, okay, I get that I guess. Sometimes it's just hard to wake up in the mornings."
"Yup."
"Yeah, I"m pretty good I guess. Got no reason to complain."
"Haha."
"What's so funny?"
"I dunno."
"Haha alright. So, what else is up?"
"Nothing really."
"Fun..."

This, people, is a real conversation I had with this chick via text. It's actually a conversation I have pretty much every day, because she wont stop texting me, and I don't have to heart to ignore her more than three times a day. This is what grinds my gears. If you are one of those people who replies with one and two word texts for apparently no reason, while I (or whomever else you're texting torturing) am struggling to keep up a decent conversation, I hope you have a good excuse. A good excuse like your arms got blown off in 'Nam and you're texting with your nose, or you're busy holding Jackie Chans hand and are extremely distracted by his incredibly youthful appearance for being over 60 years old. Please, don't text me with this crap. Try to imagine you're having a conversation face to face. Is that all you'd say to me? "Yeah, cool, yup, okay, alright, fun, haha, I dunno." For serious, people. Get it together.
