I spent this afternoon wrestling with random Americans on AOL IM. I wanted to be writing, but instead I end up explaining to someone why opening a conversation with, "You suck" is not the nice thing to do. I get warned up to 35% by someone else. And people wonder why I never turn the blasted contraption on. I only had it on this afternoon because I was hoping A might have a minute to talk to me. Honestly, what is wrong with people? Why is politeness so disregarded? How much do I sound like my mother??
