It's going to be a random day.

first off, let's talk about abbreviations, the internet kind. you know what i'm talking about: hateful things like, "lol," "lmao," "ttfn," "afk," the list goes on and on. if you're an avid reader of the reluctant receptionist (and how could you not be), you know that my boyfriend, who will remain nameless (mainly because i can't remember his name...we'll call him...pedro), really enjoys his final fantasy 11. what is most disturbing about final fantasy 11 is not the amount of time that one spends on it (it comes with a reminder to players not to forget about real-world relationships and jobs.) or the fact that it literally sucks you into an alternate universe, but that it is an online game. one forms friendships and alliances with other characters as far away as, i don't know, beijing, assuming they have the internet in taiwan or where ever that is. since you interact with other characters in final fantasy 11, or as "pedro" calls it, ff11, you use a lot of the aforementioned internet abbreviations. since "pedro" has been signing on to instant messenger more often as of late, he's treated me to a lot of these cute little sayings. today, however, it went over the line:

Pedro: hsstd
Robbi607: haha--what the fuck does that mean?
Pedro: have some science to do
Robbi607: HA!

yes, dear readers, my instant messenger name is robbi607. please, feel free to stalk me.

in other news, every day when i fix my hair i see the one gray hair at the front of my head. i've had unnoticeable ones (well, "pedro" notices them and always points them out; but they're on the side, so i can't see them, so who the hell cares) but this is my first obvious gray hair. i'm proud of it. i'm excited to get salt and pepper hair. that is, as long as my face doesn't betray my age. somebody pass me the moisturizer! get your mind out of the gutter; i didn't say lotion.

seacrest out.
