Orkut Bashing! yippie

This post deviates from the philosophical heavy vein of the blog, but waht the heck, i find the urge irresistible

Lets start with the several phrandly people out there on orkut, every single guy says "i'm cool n handsome n sexy" yeah yeah yeah, India is brimming with brad pitts, it seems

N there r people who write anything n everything in their profiles, there was this guy who told me "will u phrand me? i have phranded several girls from your college", and mr. dashing's profile said "i'm a cool man, n i believe in njoying life to the fulest (couldn't u write foolest, mr. dashing?)" and his professional stuff said "i'm a sophtwer developar, intrust in job", translated into the simple english we poor minions speak, he meant he was(????) a software developer(as if software grew on trees), and was interested in s job (i took aeons to decipher that intrust meant interest)!! lol

n moving on from phrands, there r people who bug u by saying "hiiiiiiiiiiii" and "byeeeeeeee", come on people, just cos typing doesn't cost u money doesn't imply u abuse it, does it?

and here comes the best n the most irritating variety, people who call u "dear", and other similarly awful words, that too in every single scrap, lemme give u an example

Phrand: hiiiiiiiiii dear, how r u?
(since this guy isn't exactly unknown to me, i can't run away saying go to hell)

Me: fine

phrand: so howsssssss life dear?
Me: great
(though i want to say that it was great till u came along n started pouring out dears on me)

Phrand: r u tired dear?suchhhhhhhhhhhhhhh short answersssssss
Me: yes
(how much more blunt can i get without being outright abusive?)

Phrand: Don't worry dear, i'm here to make u smileeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Me: no, i don't want to be a smiley
(yeah yeah, my sense of humour is deprecating with every single dear that is dumped on me)

Phrand: How sweet dear! what an amazing sense of humur **this is supposed to be interpreted by me as humour, and not humus or something***

Now comes the stage where i don't reply, n try to compose myself as i'm about to go mad laughing n scowling at the same time

**after a few more "dear" oozing scraps
Phrand: ok dear, i'm leaving nowwwwwww, byeeeeee, take careeee
Me: bye

(n i heave a sigh of relief)

SO this is a typical orkut conversation, n there's on e more kind of people, who aren't phrands, they r (or they call themselves) intellectuals

so they say "i went through ur profile, it is really intellectual, n was that quote by shaw?" (and a few more names r dropped), lol! please people, i'm not impressed with guys reading out library catalogues to me

and the most abused word, next to dear, is committed, we'll talk of that sometime later :) my stomach is aching from this! :)

greater evil

choose, which one is worse,
1) denying the intimacy which existed?
2)acknowledging it n berating it?
