More acronyms

June 23, 2008 04:23 PM

I thought it'd be smart to create some of my own acronyms, because if this is going to be my primary way of communicating, I'll need a shorthand. So far I'm thinking of these:

 

IMH - I am hungry

HTGTB - Have to go to the bathroom

BIA - butt is asleep

IMHXSTNTLDLMA - Having an existential dilemma

H5! -High-five!

BKBP - Big karmic brownie points!

WTCTWM! - Way to change the world, man!

SFC - Severe finger cramps

NMC - Need more coffee

SBBRB - shower break; be right back

Anyway, I could go on and on. I welcome your suggestions.
