So i play a little game called ragnarokonline, talk on aim and mess around on photoshop alot on my free time. So today i was playing and my girlfriend calls and were talking and im playing. Multitasking between the two which is getting my mind mixed up. So i dont remeber what exactly she asked but it was important and i had no answer to it, was half paying attention and i go "AFK." OISFHJASAJ i need a break from the internet.

Oh... well, I'm online mostly 24/7 but I pay attention when my friends call.

haha that's happened to me before.
sometimes i feel like saying LOL or LMAO.
Simba
I don't even use "chat speak" online, so I guess I don't really use it in real life.

I know that game! Haha, anyways no I'm not quite that bad...as a joke, yeh, but never seriously.
oxbeautifultruthxo
Haha.
That reminds me when Bonnie and I use to talk on the phone like all the time and the computer..we'd sometimes catch oursleves saying LOL out loud instead of just actually laughing. =P
Or BRB..there was another one..my mind just went blank. :O
Just2Fresh
BRB is a nasty habit. You say it when you dont mean too. "Oh hold on brb my folks are calling me." Ahhh damn chat speak.
This Confession
Yea I can't talk on the phone and be on the internet at the same time. My mind can't take it. And I have to ask the person to repeat everything they said.

But usually I get off the computer when someone calls, I found it less confusing and not so much of a wreck on my mind. I usually just leave everything open though so i can sit back down at my computer and continue with what i was doing.

if something's kinda funny, but doesn't make me laugh laugh i'll chuckle and say LOL. i've slipped out a few BRB's before too...

Yeah, I forget what the person is saying and I'm kind of focused on Counter-Strike. laugh.gif I try and make it seem like I'm paying attention. I'm on too much, though. I need to stoooop. sad.gif

Meh I usually don't hear anything other than people saying, "LOL," or "ROFL." It irks me. *Eye twitches*
EddieV

Just2Fresh
Hearing people say "ROFL" is the funniest thing. I just look at them crazy and laugh.
Jeng

My friends and I say that when we're kidding around and being sarcastic. We don't say, "R-O-F-L" though, we say, "Roffle". laugh.gif

No. When I'm on the phone with someone and I'm talking to someone on AIM or something though. If they're interested in the convo, I read it out to them.
Just2Fresh
I saw that Best Week Ever skit on what not to do in the office. Guy was chatting and going "LOL" "LMAO" "ROFL" was great.
StarryEyedSurprize
nah, i never do that
sarcastic biscuit
I say things like 'lol' and 'rofl', but mostly 'stfu'. Habit, I suppose. laugh.gif
GREASEbaby

Uhhhh, I have the urge to say some "online words" but I mostly just go LOL when I don't think something is that funny irl.
jue
At times irl, i might accidently slip out a "lol". When i'm talking on the phone or skype, i often say "brb" I needa get a life and stay away form the computer sad.gif
lolita kitty
I used to say "o-m-g", but that was on purpose. Otherwise, no.
ANG33ZY
lol you said afk. anyways i say BRB that's all.
crazeegirl411
I talk on the phone and go online at the same time a lot. Never happens :). Besides...I type "haha" way more than "rofl" and stuff. And I say hold on instead of "brb."
silver-rain
Well, my boyfriend and I joke around, I would go "lol" sometimes when I think something he said/did was not really funny or something. And, we say "jk" to each other in real life too.
Statues/Shadows
Yes, I probably do spend too much time online. It's so apparent after spending only two weeks away, because I have so much catching up to do, having been unable to make my daily rounds.

However, I don't use "chatspeak" online, let alone off. All my text messages are even properly punctuated, thank you very much.
Simba
Yeah well my friend tends to say "wtf" a lot...
Stefan The Sex God

I just recently took a week vacation with my family and regained back my normal speaking habits! It was really hard because I had no internet, or computer at all...I suffered, but had fun since I rode on rides all day long at DisneyLand, Calif Adventures, Universal Studies, SeaWorld, etc....South Cali to be simple-worded.
...It won't be long till I start saying BRB and LOL again out loud ._.
crazeegirl411
Oh yeah my friends and I say "jk jk" just because it's funny.
Selv
