    rich poem. i enjoyed - thanks.

    how do you feel about acronyms, particularly texting acronyms, like LOL and omg?
    just wondering.
    they make me cringe a little

    thank you sara..
    i like some acronyms, usually less online chatty ones and more just convoluted or funny ones. david foster wallace does some awesome acronym usage.
    LOL does hurt to see though.
    OMFG. TTYL! MDIHAYLI!

    I married a half-Mexican. I've always had a thing for Mexican women.

    After you linked to me, I meant to email you to tell you I had deleted my Wordpress blog and moved back to Blogger, but I forgot.

    Shit.

    I don't blog often anyway.
