So Adam and I have been FB-messaging back and forth, and I don’t deny his love of LOLs and bizarre abbreviations and lack of punctuation and multiple misspellings were a bit of a turn-off, but I had to remind myself that sometimes people who don’t write for a living aren’t as persnickety about such things.
And then, tonight, I got this:
Hi hun just wanted to ask u is anybody doing anything about this big oil spill disaster in the Gulf Of Mexico. It apparently is going to hit Florida and who knows the cost to the enviornment and tourism. Can u research this a bit for me or if you have any power to get this out to the world or maybe some BIG WIGS in Washington. Please get back to me…
Ummmmm.
That hissing sound you just heard? That was my vague girly-boner for a guy who still looks as hot now as he did at 18 deflating RAPIDLY.
Oh. Dear.
I think I’ll stick with my Spy, who is so smart that he makes me feel like Adam some days.

Well, there you go. Hot (ahem, HOT) spies who know how to spell always win.
I think this is the only thing we have to thank FaceBook for – it separates the wheat from the crap so effectively and undeniably that while we may sink into a temporary tailspin of disillusionment, the potential of long-term, unworthy infatuation can be shut down on the runway before it ever takes flight.
I have one extremely literate girlfriend who uses “Hun” in text message. I don’t love it, but in the face of her bounteous intellect, I find it acceptable and may have used it back once.
This, however, is not ironic, is it?
By the way, Trix, if the BIG WIGS (AKA FAT CATS) in Washington have not heard about this oil spill silliness, you might want to alert them. In your own time and all. Just research it for me, because I don’t think any major news organization has covered it. There has been no discussion on my solitary island made of coconut shells, so I reckon we should get the word out. PLZ TXT BCK.

I better Tweet the White House RIGHT NOW!! Something needs to be done! You can’t just have this oil spilling all over the place without anyone knowing about it!!!

privacy concerns be damned, facebook DOES serve a purpose! it keeps us from accidentally hooking up with someone who is TOTES NOT HOT!! if only that douchenugget Zuckerberg had invented it sooner!

This is the weirdest message someone could ever write.
Someone should nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize for being so on the ball about current events.
