Ruled You Out

I text: you'd never sleep if you ran a club like that.
He texts: i rarely keep now
I text: Oh u rarely keep? You go bad? Haha im with you. Im in a perpetual sleep walk until about 6pm.
He texts: i have a lot in my lately....so i been brain dead
I consider what went in the blank, then text: Hah. You need sleep. You should take some benadryl.
He texts: I can sleep enough when I'm laid to rest
I text: Problem is u never are huh.

(10 minutes passes. During which I realize that he wasn't actually talking about not needed benadryl to sleep and that he could sleep well enough when he laid down and tried, but that he was saying he could sleep when he died.)

I text: Oh. yea. Just realized u meant dead. Duh.
He texts: Lol I was like ....uh

I check "unconcerned by miscommunication" off my list of Rule You Out. Its one of those sneaky boxes you don't want to check because you feel insecure about caring about a conversation that the other person is engaging in apathetically.
News flash: They're not too cool for you. They just don't care.

Thus, they are totally not worth the effort. One should not have to work to get someone to notice them.

Furthermore, based on this one teeny tiny exchange, I can see the cocked eyebrow that would come at me from across the room when I do something "uncool." Heaven forbid this be explained to me, and laughed off. Instead I'll sit there feeling small after realizing my error. The ten minute silence, the cocked eyebrow-- they are designed to make you feel small.

Don't take that shizz! Put it on the list of Ruled You Out.
