| REVEALED: THE PSYCHOLOGY OF MSN At a lack of anything better to do, I'm going to sit here and whine. Doncha just hate it when girls talk about make-up and hair straighteners on MSN, like it's some conversational device which will make them appear instantly more attractive than the garish cerise font conveying their speech ever could? Girl: Oh I am just sitting here playing with my eyeliner. . . hehe. Boy: Eyeliner? What's that? Girl: Hehe. . . would you like to try some? I can give you a make-over. Make you all pritty and stuff. Boy: Don't you be coming near me with that wretched thing! Although. . . Girl: Oh you know you want it really. Oh and my hair straighteners. Let me straighten your hair. Let me chase you with my GHDs and sizzle them against your buoyant locks until you come right out and comment on my damn good looks, regardless of any cosmetic tool or torture device. And so the conversation continues, blatantly flirtatious as hell. I know, because I've had them. Except usually in my case I'm the one getting propositioned by a pair of eyelash curlers to enhance my feminity. . . yeah, like I'm on the verge of growing a beard (I'll have joined the Kings of Leon before you know it). There are many other conversational symbols and choice phrases which signify the type of conversation you are having. Here are a few things I've noticed, being the secluded miser I am who sits on MSN waiting for people to talk to her and then ignores them when they don't, which leaves me in no place to be cynical but it's either this or revising evolutionary biology so shut up. Socks - "I like you. We are good pals. Let's celebrate our kinship by discussing brightly coloured stripey strips of cotton." Food - "Dear christ you are boring me. Please shut up while I go to the kitchen and rescue my cheese sandwich." The Libertines - "Yes I do read NME, yes I am a worldly-wise music expert, yes I would like to show off my knowledge so go on ask me anything, QUIZ MEEEEEE!" Coursework - "While I do endeavour to be patient at all times, I actually have more important things to think about than your inane chatter. Shoo." Indeed - "Terminating conversation - now." Good good - "Whatever, I don't really give a shit shit." lol - I'm not even going to TRY to analyse this one. . . Oh, I don't know. Maybe it's just a Wirral thing, they're all deranged round here. Hopefully be seeing some of you tomorrow, although not at T'Egg, seeing as last week several of the ranks pointedly expressed their disapproval for the anti-carnivore atmosphere of the place. Well, we can't all be vegetables. Goodnight. |
