To add color to this colorless world, is that right? Ah, that is but a rhetorical question so don't go out of your way to answer it. ^_^;;; I do have but one real question, though. Does anyone know where I could download some crossword puzzles for my phone, this bracelet, or where I could purchase a book of them?

[A beat.]

Also, those maids are surprisingly durable. Such a mystery. ^o^!!!

That's because you can hear it in my voice and in all honesty I'm not normally a man to smile at such things.

Can you use them to express other things? Or other emotions?

[ex_texting536]

That is a pity. :-(

Yes, you can. You can even use letters to express a great many things, LOL.

[dai]

A pity I don't smile? Right now there is nothing much worth smiling about but if you can think of something then perhaps you could inform me.

[There is another pause.]What was that thing--at the end?

[ex_texting536]

You are alive right now and there are empty spaces known as mysteries to fill up. Of course, that is what makes me happy and smile -- the idea that I will eventually uncover all truths. :-)

It is another of my codes. LOL. It means to "laugh out loud." I did laugh out loud. Usually people use it and don't. It's just to give the impression that either the speaker or the speakee, as it were, did something funny.

[dai]

You have more faith than I do, obviously.

And so you think that I am funny, somehow?

[ex_texting536]

I wouldn't call it faith.

Somehow. :-)

[dai]

What would you call it? And also--I don't like the idea of being humorous to someone so you best keep your encrypted lettering to yourself.

[ex_texting536]

I'd call it "fact."

All right, I'll keep them to myself. And since we have gotten so close in these last few comments, may I ask your name?

[dai]

Fact? How so?

And it would be rude not to, I suppose. My name is Malik Al-Sayf. In which it is only right for me to ask your own.
