I am, of course, referring to awkward conversations that lead to a dead end, as this is a topic I've mentioned to people and confronted people with doing. I've had my fair share of experiencing them, and I've also done it to others. Conversation killers, I call them.
I can almost feel as if I'm leading myself down a dead end, stuck in a conversation that will undoubtedly get me that very important sensation of feeling bored, not interested, or simply with just nothing else to reply with. These things require special actions and reinforcement. What used to be a topic of agreeable awesome standards can now be hindered with the undesired result of 3 simple characters:
"lol"
The motherload of it all. It prescribes the shutdwn of a conversation. In some instances, it means the writer of the 'lol' wants to move on, or simple doesn't have anything better to reply with. On the receiving end, one abruptly discovers theres nothing more to respond to, and thus ends all.
Awesome Storyteller: So Paranormal Activity was such a scary movie. OMG I was so freaked out by the end, I almost have skid marks on my underwear. What did you think of it?
Awesome Replier: lol
Awesome Storyteller: ...
Or even replies like "
yeh", or "
nup". As Amanda Bynes said in She's the Man,
FLOW IS FLOW. AND YES I DON'T MIND CHEESE. I've heard it been said before (can't say who said or received, because it sounds harsh either way): "
Learn to keep it flowing, you suck to talk to."haha.
I noticed I've done a lot of this to keep it going, and that is asking questions, to the point where I've taken the role of an interviewer/interrogator. I guess its better than the awkward silence. Which brings me to my next topic:
awkard topics.
These convo's just warrant a "
lol." ending. Questions need not apply, because after the who, what, when, where, and hows are over with, its just done.
Unless of course there is humourous appeal to it, in this case, I am going to end with this awkward topic I just encountered and prompted me to do this entry:
(name hidden to avoid embarassment)
bobthebuilder says: hey man. i want let something off my chest but promise you wont say anything
adrian ! needle and haystack says: yeahh what sup
bobthebuilder says: i did a poo
adrian ! needle and haystack says: .........
bobthebuilder says: it came out as pebbles

bobthebuilder says: it means i have not enough fibre
bobthebuilder says: it has to be cigar like
Take note, the person saying this is a girl, and goes against all male belief that:
- Girls don't poop
- Girls don't fart either
kthxbye?
