So I'm IM'ing with a friend of mine, who is absolutely one of the best people in the world, but technology isn't her thing. She's had a cellphone on death's door for months now, and hasn't gotten around to replacing it, partially because when she went into the store the last time, the salesgeeks were more intimidating than helpful. I was busting a gut by the end of our conversation, and I had to make sure I got permission before I posted this:
7:52:53 PM ME: how is that new phone coming along?
7:53:17 PM KK: crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew I was forgetting to do something.
7:53:26 PM KK: I had better go check out the at&t website
7:59:18 PM ME: LOL
7:59:50 PM ME: seriously, it's a few clicks, and a new phone comes in a box.
8:00:17 PM KK: whatever mister smarty pants.
8:00:32 PM ME: you want I should click for you?
8:00:53 PM KK: no way!! I don't want an iPhone. What the hell would I do with it?
8:01:05 PM KK: besides I'll probably get some ugly ass pink piece of crap.
8:01:11 PM KK: and I'd have to be seen with it.
8:01:24 PM ME: hee hee hee. I wasn't even being evil. :)
8:01:31 PM KK: oh.
8:01:37 PM KK: that makes it even worse now.
8:01:44 PM KK: Now I've put ideas in your head
8:02:15 PM ME: nah, you're my luddite. I can't be mean.
8:02:24 PM KK: luddite?
8:02:53 PM ME: OMG
8:03:34 PM ME: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite
8:04:07 PM ME: In recent years, the terms Luddism and Luddite or Neo-Luddism and Neo-Luddite have become synonymous with anyone who opposes the advance of technology due to the cultural and socioeconomic changes that are associated with it.
8:04:33 PM KK: well that might be me, but I won't necessarily admit it.
8:04:40 PM ME: hehehe
8:04:56 PM ME: I think it's great that you didn't recognize the word
8:05:26 PM KK: and by the way. I happen to have been able to look it up in my actual Webster dictionary and found the definition before you posted it to me.
8:05:28 PM KK: fyi
8:05:33 PM KK: :-)
8:05:42 PM ME: HA Ha HA HA HA perfect
8:06:02 PM KK: Gotta love the Web. Webster dictionary that is
8:06:23 PM ME: a luddite wouldn't use an online dictionary or wikipedia, they'd use a book. thank you for proving my point ;)
8:06:56 PM KK: crap.
8:07:02 PM ME: LOL
8:07:05 PM KK: I wasn't supposed to prove your point
8:07:40 PM ME: siiiigh.
8:07:43 PM ME: brilliant
8:07:59 PM ME: I've got a big 'ol grin on my face. thanks! :)
8:08:12 PM KK: that almost makes it worse
8:08:35 PM ME: if we were in the same room. you'd probably be hitting me by now.
8:08:38 PM KK: but glad I could put a smile on your face
8:08:45 PM KK: you have no idea....
8:08:47 PM KK: :-)
