Faker!!!
I love: our cats. Although they have turned into little horn-balls, they are still so freaking cute. Especially mine, Ryme. She's been extra-cuddly lately and was even good when I gave her a bath today. I got it done without a single scratch. I <3 her.

I hate: Fake lol'ers. You know who you are. Those who put "lol" after every sentence that they type. We all know what LOL stands for: laughing out loud. However, instead of using it to accurately describe what one is doing, it has become the "awkwardness remover". When people drink they get what Lauren refers to as "liquid confidence" When people are online they get what I like to call "virtual balls". People are more likely to say (or ask) things when they are talking to a person online than when they are talking to them in person. What does this have to do with LOL? Now, when someone fears that they pushed the virtual envelop they insert a small LOL into the conversation to make the other person think that they were just kidding about the entire situation, removing the awkwardness that lies on the other end of the computers. Now, some people do use LOL to acknowledge that they think what the other person said was funny. Did they actually laugh out loud? Sometimes yes, but most of the time no. ElliotT coined a new term: LQTM - laughing quietly to myself. I think it should catch on. All of you that have talked to me on aim know that I'm not an lol'er. I'm a haha-er. And if you have talked to me in person, you know that I do laugh a lot. I don't type a haha without actually laughing, I'm not an internet liar. I don't say that I'm laughing when I'm not, ok?
