The Bear Bitch’s Project

It’s completely baffling!

I have a friend who I really enjoy hanging out with. She’s so talkative and energetic and just plain fun to be with. We can talk about extremely trivial stuff as well as really serious, where-the-hell-is-my-life-going type of stuff. Whenever we’re together, we do nothing but yak away.

And yet it’s absolutely impossible to have a decent “conversation” with her while chatting on YM or to get a comprehensible e-mail from her. Its like: her replies would not only be totally unrelated to what I just said but they’d also have the presumption that I knew what this new topic is without her saying it.

I’d have to be both quick enough to catch the shift in topic AND be psychic at the same time.

Me: Hey

Her: Hey!

Me: I finally got to see The Holiday. You know I’ve never been a big fan of Cameron Diaz but I quite liked it. Jude Law – yum! Ha ha ha!

Her: I know. That’s why I told him wag nalang.

Me: Who? Wag nalang what?

Her: Kakainis diba? I could not believe he said that!

Me: Who’s “he”? And what did “he” say?

Her: Hay naku. I’ll just sleep it off para ‘di ako ma-stress. Night!

<signs off>

WTF???

The weird thing is that when we talk in person she’s completely sane and not like that at all.

At first I thought that maybe she was also chatting with someone else at the same time and was mis-sending those replies to me by mistake but it pretty much happens 90% of the time that we chat and in e-mails too!

I’d e-mail her and her replies would be completely off tangent. So that can’t possibly be a mis-send.

Its positively perplexing
