‘Tis the season … to instant message
November 29th, 2008 by witherow
Decorating for Christmas on the heels of Thanksgiving reminds me of last year at this time, when I was at the apartment decorating, and my roommate Steph was still at home eating turkey and stuffing and mashed potato sandwiches (I assume). I saw she was online and sent her a message.
ME
I decorated the tree. 
You’ll like it.
my theme was “bananas”
STEPH
oh boy.
so, are you friends with Dante yet?
[Dante is Steph’s beta fish]
ME
um, yes. Isn’t he there with you?
confused by your random question!!
STEPH
yes.
he’s here with me.
he’s been pouting all weekend.
i have Dogbook for Dante
he is friends with Marzipan and Becky
ME
Hahaha! can he be friends with me and Mocha?
[Mocha is my family’s overweight toy poodle]
ME
Oh, fyi
Dante isn’t a dog
STEPH
um, isn’t it what’s on the inside that counts?
ME
dog biscuits?
That’s what’s inside of mocha
STEPH
He’s the spirit of a dog in a fish body
OH!
you haven’t commented about my latest word in Scrabble . . .
ME
let me go look at it …
[I then proceed to look at our online Scrabble game, where I discover Steph has played the word “bridoon” and placed it in such a way that she earned 70 something points.]
STEPH
HAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!
ME
we hates you, precious
STEPH
bridoon.
used in horseback riding.
thank you, riding lessons in 7th grade!
ME
I cannot begin to describe how deplorable that is
STEPH
BRIDOONS!!!!
ME
I shall now lament.
brace yourself.
alaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas!
STEPH
I know you don’t have that many As.
ME
is this a slam on my academic record or something?
STEPH
no; it’s the letters you may/may not have for your Scrabble game
ME
That was a lament, not a move
STEPH
you might actually get more points that 3 per move if you use that many letters . . . 
ME
hey now …
STEPH
hee hee. jk
well, i’m going to go eat dinner now.
ME
Okay. I’m going to put mousetraps in your … I mean, eat some chips and salsa
