Last night a gChat saved my life

I'd like to slap whoever said that breaking up over IM is not acceptable. What world are they living in? At this point in time it's not about love letters and throwing rocks at windows followed by long walks through the park. NOT. AT. ALL. Instead a lot of our pseudo-relationships are based on technological advances. First it was the cell phone. Then we were blessed with instant messaging. Shortly followed by text messaging.

A note on that: I can't believe I've had a strictly text message based relationship. Like.. really. I've grown to like texting and all but I realized that arguing over text messages is NOT what's hot in the streets. Neither is trying to text-sex me. Don't you think calling and asking "what are you wearing?" in a sexy half asleep I'm thinking about you voice is better than hearing your phone vibrate on the nightstand only to pick it up to read: 'wut u got on?' Clothes biatch. I mean.. come on dudes.

Anyway, back to my original point. So after text messaging we were blessed with the highest level of instant communication. We all know her as gChat. A combo text/IM/cell phone deal that has had me sitting up at all hours of the night losing out on sleep. But this is no ordinary chat *drumroll please* they can be saved into my e-mail inbox!!! Forget the fact that I can remember what someone said 3 years ago right off the top of my head. Now I can use that mental space for other stuff like calling idiots on their BS.

So this fool decides to lie to me. Don't do that. I'd prefer an honest a**hole over a lying nice boy anyday -- at least I know what I'm working with. So this dude rubbed me the wrong way since day one but I stuck it out because I'm thinking he's different. He's nice. Has his stuff together. Yadda yadda yadda. But this arse lied. Now why'd you have to go and do that?? So as he's talking trying to get himself out of the hole he dug, I thought ohhhhhhhhhh yeahhhhh.. we were talking in gChat. So while he's running off at the mouth, I proceeded to log onto my computer and do some investigation. Sure enough in black and white were this dummy's lies.

By now you should know I'm ignorant. If you didn't then I'm forewarning you. I forwarded the conversation, highlights and all and told him to check his mail. Sure enough, he logged on. Silence. Waited for it.. The gChat window opened. Hey. (Hey?). So there's all this "**** is typing" going on at the bottom of the screen and I'm laughing because I would just love to hear what this ignoramus has to say. So after like 5 minutes of his "typing" I figured, you know what. Why am I wasting my time? I thought over our short lived "relationship" that had all been built on that simple lie. Btw.. whatever primary method of communication you used in your relationship is a channel you are allowed to use for breaking up so since a lot of our conversations took place online I figured I'd do him a huge favor and immediately put an end to his torture of trying to lie his way out of a lie. My little scribbly pencil thingy lasted all of 5 seconds. It said, "don't bother. it's been real.."

I hope he has the save feature highlighted on his gChat...
