Trees and Text

Yeah, I already know that the title is weird so you don't have to remind me of it.  I am going to start on this tree business.  I am neither an Alabama or Auburn fan so I am not judging by the team I go for.  I really think that the guy who decided to poison the tree in Auburn did something stupid and I do not know if he did it over football or over some other reason but there is no point in going crazy over it.  I understand the tree is 130 years old and it means a lot but if you do not want to to stoop to the same level as the guy who poisoned the tree, do not go and destroy anything of Alabama's.  The tree will most likely die and you will lose a 130 year old tree and and a 50 year tradition and that is upsetting.  I know many Alabama fans who are just as upset over this as Auburn fan. No more tree comments.

Well my texting rant will probably be pretty long considering I text a lot and people make me angry when I have to take a long time to figure out what they are saying in their message.  First let me make a list of what makes me frustrated:

1. The use of lol, rolf, rolfmao, or hahaha in almost every text you send.  Everything is not funny so lets not laugh at it.
2. Taking forever to send a message back and then all it says is yeah or hahaha or lol.  I understand we all have other things we are doing but tell me when you text back so I do not think you do not want to talk.
3. Please explain you answer if I ask a question except if it is a yes or no question and say something else after your answer because I do not know how to respond to no or yes.
4. Finally never saying good bye at the end.  You just stop texting because you go busy instead of saying "I am busy. bye." you just vanish.  I can understand falling asleep while texting or your phone dying.

I know this is not a lot to bother me but really it is not that hard just to do these simple things while texting. I mean I do use hahaha but only when something is funny and I was laughing but most of the time I use lqtm instead.  I text people who do this all the time and I always feel like throwing my phone at the wall because it makes me frustrated.  I know that some people texting like this is normal but I am an AP student and I expect to have a conversation with someone.  I do not understand how this can be all you use to talk to some one.  The lack of emotion in texting does not allow me to have a short and stupid conversation.  I know if you know someone really well you can use sarcasm and it will be understood.  I do not always know the person I am texting all that well so help me out.

Rant over. *sighs*
