Tuning out
July 23, 2009
For those of you who don’t already know this, Rob and I try to talk everyday for at least 2 hours at a time. We talk about absolutely everything and anything under the sun, no matter how weird, corny, tasteless, dirty, ridiculous etc You get the point. Yesterday he started talking about computer stuff…
R: You know that computer that *insert name* gave me? Well I was trying to fix it up and I need this *insert part name*. I saw it on eBay for auction and it was about $38…
S: ….
R: *as he went about explaining exactly what part he needs*
S: ….
R: Are you still there?
S: Take note that I’m trying to tune you out :smug:
R: Oh you suck!
S:Â I know! :))
R:Â 😐 Â Â Fine, I won’t tell you about it.
S: Really? That’s great! :smug:
R: …..
S: You really wanna tell me about this don’t you?
R: Nope, don’t need to.
S: Okay, cool. 😀
R: …..
S: *snicker*
A couple minutes of silence goes by…
S: I know you really want to tell me. You’re just holding out.
R: Nope, I’m okay. I don’t have to tell you.
S: Okay, suit yourself.
Then we started to talk about something trivial. When there was a pause of silence…
S: So you’re really not going to discuss geek stuff with me?
R: Nope. I’m good.
S: Okay, just so you know I KNOW YOU WANT TO TELL MEÂ Â :))
R: Nuh uh. I’m good.
Another few minutes goes by…
R: Okay fine! I’ll tell you!
S:Â =))
R:Â 😐
S:Â ROFLMAO Oh yeah, sure, make it sound like I’m forcing you to tell me.
R: YOU SUCK
S:Â Â =))
R: *attempts not to laugh*
And that brings our score to: Shin – 537209, Rob – 450
And he told me all about buying a broken computer for the parts that he can use to upgrade his “project computer” as he calls it. (Update: I have gathered more information. Rob told me he has a “few” project computers. Two in the living room, 2 in the dog room and 1 on his bedroom floor). Before any of you think I was serious about tuning him out, it was all for fun. Ya know, me being a smartass and all. We joke around all the time.
*Update #2*
Rob just saw the update and he said “OH YOU SUCK!” Then I said I have to do another update and if I didn’t it would be a travesty to justice. To which he again said “YOU STILL SUCK!”.
*Update #3*
Rob just said that the laksa I had this morning must have stimulated my “sarcasm gland”.
