Also, I&#8217;m too lazy to go through all that text-game bullshit that normal people engage in.<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/33.media.tumblr.com\/6b8d50cf42f39160e0d7a60468c84941\/tumblr_inline_nqtfvdBDNM1rrxvck_500.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  So while my current number one talent involves giving incredible head massages. (No really, I know how to work a scalp the way Miley Cyrus knows how to work a Victoria\u2019s Secret model in a dark alleyway on a hot summer night), I also happen to be the queen of sending absurd texts. Countless times I\u2019ve sent what I initially believed to be a succinct and thoughtful text message only to re-read it afterward and realize it was quite possibly the most awkward thing ever communicated to another human being. [Much of this behavior can be attributed to my inability to be embarrassed or ashamed of my own actions.]<\/p>\n<p>  My only real rule for sending a text message is refraining from the use of \u2018lmao,\u2019 \u2018rofl\u2019 or \u2018lols\u2019 of any kind. <b>lol<\/b> the only thing that enrages me more than someone who uses \u2018lol\u2019 in a text message is someone who begins and ends an entire sentence with it <b>lol<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>  Also, I try not to send generic greetings that offer no useful avenues for real conversation. Sometimes I\u2019m forced to do this because I&#8217;m masturbating to pictures of a dude\u2019s face when he texts, and so all I can muster is a &#8220;Hey\u201d with my one free hand. But that is the only exception.<\/p>\n<p>  So here\u2019s a list of texts I find myself wanting to send to guys I really dig but absolutely never would because they make me sound like a psychotic bitch. <\/p>\n<p>  <b>Him:<\/b> It was great seeing you the other day.<br \/>  <b>Me:<\/b> I\u2019ve masturbated to your face about five times since then.<\/p>\n<p>  <b>Him:<\/b> Heyyyooo<br \/>  <b>Me:<\/b> You are so cute i want to cut you into pieces and eat your face.<\/p>\n<p>  <b>Him:<\/b> Heading to the grocery store after work&#8230;<br \/>  <b>Me:<\/b> I would drop all of my plans in an instant if you want to hang out with me tonight.<\/p>\n<p>  <b>Him:<\/b> Hey, what\u2019s up?<br \/>  <b>Me:<\/b> Fantasizing about you spread out on the couch watching all of your favorite shows on Netflix while I feed you donuts and bacon.<\/p>\n<p>  <b>Him:<\/b> Work is so busy today.<br \/>  <b>Me:<\/b> UGGGGGH TOUCH MY FACE.<\/p>\n<p>  Take it from me, peeps, playing games is for chumps.<br \/>  *Laugh cringe*<br \/>  *Cringe cringe*<\/p>\n<p>  <b>[Accept that I\u2019m the social equivalent of a tennis ball and click away from the
