What can YOU say in six sentences?
Good and Proper Dead is Hard Work
"She has the personality of a shit house rat: sorry for itself because of its surroundings (but it doesn't leave), then vicious and biting towards whoever gets close." Marti looks at me over her iced Chai, and I can tell she's very proud of her metaphor.
"So what does that make you, if you continue to hang with her," I ask, "if not her codependent shit house mouse?"
"Oh, I can end it, and in fact I AM ending it," she says, whipping out her 4G iPhone II and deleting a name from her speed dial. "She's dead to me!"
I sip, waiting, and then, when she puts the phone down, I point out, "She's not dead to you when you merely delete her from speed dial, Champ. For real dead means you wipe her completely from your phone book AND delete all saved messages AND block her calls and axe her from Facebook, Linked-In, Twitter, G-mail chat, Yahoochat, Chatterbox and Skype."

Nice piece. You have a gift for dialogue. I'm starting to read all your stuff with a southern accent. Read it that way next time; even funnier.

This is well-played, G. I love the commentary on our lives, how the world wide web has laced all of us down into its weave. And any story with the phrase "shit house rat" in it is all day cool, besides.

Seems the more ways we have to communicate, the more avenues there are for fucking up. Sad, but in reality, likely not necessary to do anything more than stop returning calls - which is not at all complex.
