I used to get random instant messages all the time. Often they were people who really were just bored and wanted to chat. More often than not, the person messaging me was from some Asian country that I will probably never visit, sometimes they were younger gay guys looking to chat with someone about coming out.
I have had many many conversations with total strangers about all sorts of topics.
It doesn’t happen that often anymore. I don’t know what’s different… whether my age or something about my profile has changed, whatever it is, I’m typically left alone on the web now.
But then tonight, I had this little gem of a not-quite-a-conversation.

oh your gay.. lol.. ok cya
Guess I didn’t have what she was looking for. I definitely have what she needs, though.
A dictionary.
And a napkin, cause there’s nothing worse than blishing on yourself.
OMG! I have loads and loads of guys she can have chat her up to a high… Even though I am not gay and neither are those guys, and even though I am have a “healthy” attitude towards sex, the horny chatting just doesn’t do it for me, LOL
with “healthy” I am obviously not referring to not being gay but having a “healthy” libido…
I knew you would understand, but just wanted to clarify that to anyone else
wtf is wrong with people?!?!??
that sound you hear? that would be me. weeping for the future.
Dutchy – I knew what you meant.
You have her screen name now, I’d just refer all those late night horn dogs to your “other screen name” that you use to talk dirty.
hello – I have already ran out of tears weeping for our future. I think it happened right around November of 2000.
I tried to think of things worse than blishing on yourself and came up with nothing. That is the pinacle of bad. ~~ very funny insight, Jester! ~~ I think this post was great.
If I had more sense, I would IM you sometime. I don’t know how to do that. I guess I’m too busy planning how to take over the neighborhood to learn.
Is blishing similar to blushing and fishing for cyber sex? LOL
Liz – Funny in that this post took all of 2 seconds to create. Maybe that’s the trick, I just overthink most of my posts?
You should IM me sometime. I’m always around. Yahoo and AIM screen names are both ‘jesterncal.’
Crail – I pictured blishing to be something that would require several kleenex to mop up.
Jester, when I think about you, I blish myself.
Mist – You’re too sweet. Kinda gross, but sweet!
you’d think in this age of computers and technology, people would be MORE proficient with languange and spelling from typing all the time, but instead the total opposite is true…it’s so weird!
Webmiztris – Yes, you would think. However, text message speak mixed with ADD and an under-funded educational system equals an new form of illiteracy.
