Annabreviation

I have a lot of friends with fun and amusing eccentricities, and my friend Anna is one of the cutest. Anna likes to copy random lines that she likes from this site and send them to me over IM. Then she’ll add a little comment like “so f’n true!” or “omg, i def feel you about the futon!” You see, Anna is the master of the abbreviation. If there is a possibility for short form, Anna will find it. Her emails are like e.e. cummings poems:

bekah -
where are you?
miss!
tell me ev. about school
omg, is it f’n hard? ick
def write me
love
miss
- anna

A few days ago, Anna and I were chatting on IM, and the conversation turned to my futon (the love endures). Anna asked me if I was sitting on it at the moment, and I answered, “Yeah, you know I’m on the –ton. That’s futon.” Anna just said, “i know. no need to use a dash with me.” Rebuffed. I had underestimated the powers of the abbreviation goddess and had dared to attempt her art. I looked quite foolish. I am sorry Anna; I will def try harder in the future. This f'n MM’s for you. (That's Mixtape Marathon for those not in the know).
