A Road Less Travelled

Recently a girl from our church posted an Instant Message conversation between her and her sister. I was amused. It made me think of some IM conversations Raquel and I have either enjoyed or suffered through. I started wondering if people would be amused if I posted one of our conversations. And today we had a conversation that was so typical of us I just knew this was the one to post. So here, in its entirety is our conversation.

Raquel: I think I left my camera at your house.
Did I mention that my nose is on fire and there are 15 wild badgers living in my trousers?

me: (angry look)
I…

Raquel: I’m sorry would you prefer ferrets?

me: I forget what I’m supposed to say here, but it is very angry and has to do with my personal insecurity issues.
So, um, just fill it in

Raquel: There, there

me: Yes, I see your camera

Raquel: wow
you’re good

me: And I raise you two highchairs

Raquel: oh
yeah

me: (stage whisper) Your line in “I’ll see your two highchairs and raise you—)

Raquel: oh, oh, sorry
my bad
um
I’ll see your two highchairs and raise you…. folding chairs?

me: Folding chairs, huh?
I fold

Raquel: phew

me: hee, hee, hee
I am so funny!

Raquel: I’m laughing
eh, kind of a giggle

me: I know, I can hear you

Raquel: giggle/chuckle

me: I think you might be chortling

Raquel: ah
really?

me: Undoubtably
That can’t be how that’s spell
Is that how it’s spelled?

Raquel: hm
I can’t do any better, but it doesn’t look right

me: Shouldn’t there be a random e thrown in there for good measure?

Raquel: uendoubtably?
is that random enough?

me: Undouebtabley

Raquel: oh, google says it’s undoubtedly
and google is never wrong

me: All hail the great Google
So, recently Jessica posted an IM conversation between her and Tiffany

Raquel: yeah
did you see my comment?

me: I was thinking about doing the same except instead of her it would be me and instead of Tiffany it would be you

Raquel: ah

me: Thoughts?
Specifically I was thinking it could be this one

Raquel: not me instead of her, and you instead of Tiffany?

me: No, no
certainly not!
Let’s not get silly

Raquel: right
that would be, um…
ungood

me: double plus ungood

Raquel: Sure, we should post one.
this one, if you think it’s good

me: Hows aboot this one?
Ah, good
Excellent
I will get right on that
Soon

Raquel: good
I should go now.

me: k
I’ll try to make sure nobody breaks your camera

Raquel: good
I’ll send someone down for it eventually
maybe me
maybe not

me: SHiny
I wait the discovery of this great mystery with great anticipation
Well
Have a better one
Bye

Raquel: you too
bye
