Because I like meeting new and interesting people, I just met a new friend named Marc the other day, I like to use the internet to make my self available for strangers to contact. Let me just say that 95% of the people that IM me are only ready to talk about what I am wearing, want to know my A/S/L, or if I can send a picture to them. And I don�t really have a problem with that, but what is wrong with having a real conversation? So, I�ll go months were I don�t accept messages from strangers out of mistrust.
But, awhile ago I signed up for ICQ.
And today while writing a paper and getting bored, I figured out how to use it. And I met this guy, as my first official conversation through ICQ:
ALEX: hey im andy dick
shesajarofcandy: um, hi andy dick.
ALEX: hello hello
shesajarofcandy: why do you call yourself alex, andy?
ALEX: well im so popular in holywood
ALEX: how old r u broad
(this pissed me off)
shesajarofcandy: 65
ALEX: ay wey
ALEX: how old r u crap ass
shesajarofcandy: well, crap ass is probably accurate, beings that I AM 65.
ALEX: u boring
ALEX: see ya
shesajarofcandy: bye
(several minutes pass)
ALEX: eat me old
shesajarofcandy: um, alright
shesajarofcandy: not so boring now?
ALEX: hey stop that how old r u
(I decide to be fair)
shesajarofcandy: i am 21.
ALEX: ;-)
ALEX:hey what u look like
(not again)
shesajarofcandy: well, the leprosy has given me a rosy color and my obesity gives me shape.
shesajarofcandy: into that?
ALEX: hey i have no clue what u saying
ALEX: do u know english
(I get mean here)
shesajarofcandy: dictionary may be a good translator, in your case.
ALEX: maybe u should go back to school
ALEX: and take english
shesajarofcandy: um, i was thinking the opposite.
ALEX: hey how often u shave ur ass
(ok its war now)
shesajarofcandy: when you start growing stubble, i have to.
ALEX: u didnt answer it
shesajarofcandy: you ARE my ass. that was the joke. but, perhaps a translation would have helped?
ALEX: dont get mad
shesajarofcandy: i am not.
shesajarofcandy: i love Andy Dick.
ALEX: nice
ALEX: what is ur name sugar
shesajarofcandy: Bertha
(sorry all Berthas of the world)
ALEX: r u white
shesajarofcandy: I am transparent.
ALEX: what is that mean
shesajarofcandy: http://www.m-w.com/dictionary.htm
shesajarofcandy: this can help us be better friends.
ALEX: hey i like that
ALEX: u little smart bitch
ALEX: not in the meen way
shesajarofcandy: yeah, how could I think that calling me a bitch is "meen"?
ALEX: do u think u better "then" me
(now I start to feel bad)
shesajarofcandy: no
ALEX: loop it up
(what the hell does that mean?)
shesajarofcandy: but wouldn�t it be nice to have a conversation and not just want to "get off"
shesajarofcandy: ok, i am a little busy writing a paper.
ALEX: eat me
shesajarofcandy: um, i am going now. have a nice day.
ALEX: i will thanks
(and we say our farewells)
So, I know I was sort of a jerk. But, is this what I can expect from ICQ? Or Andy Dick for that matter?
