No shit. This is the whole of my love life.
Nerdy military guy (NMG): Wink
ML: wink
ML: where you be?
NMG: I been reading. My life is GREAT!
ML: Oh
(long, long pause as ML contemplates the greatness of NMG’s life)
ML: Whatche reading?
NMG: Reading bout ‘Nam
ML: Sweet. I like death.
NMG: Call me if you get bored.
ML: Okay, I’ll call you soon. BTW, you know my given name isn’t my screen name, “sassyso-and-so,” right? Are you interested in my real name?
NMG: Okay.
Update: NMG sends me the most intimate text I’ve ever gotten…”hi” Like, we’re so close that we don’t need punctuation or more than one-syllable words anymore. LOVE is Good!

It’s probably best that he doesn’t know your real name is MedicatedLady.
In other news, remember when I had a blog on MySpace and I referred to you as OriaLay (Not Her Real Name/What’s Left of it)?

Yes, and it was very confusing for people to understand that that clearly meant Medicated Lady. Remember when I outed you to your nephew after you told me your entire family knew and was cool with it?
mariana: Lock yourself away, girl. Save yourself the agony.

When the syllables go all hell breaks loose, or so I recall. Of course I am nearly 47 and therefore forgetful . 😉
