Cave man (CM): (Edgy, shy) Who are you, you good looking
stranger?
Facebook diva(FD): (Face palm) Oh…finally I get to meet someone
who doesn’t know me! Btw, I’m Teena.
CM: What do you mean by “btw”? I am Steve.
FD: (eyes wide open) It means “by the way”. Is this your
first day on chat? LOL
CM: (eyes downcast) No, I have been around for a while but I
never spend much time in here. And I didn’t know that I was looking at some one
very famous!
FD: You are not really looking at ME now. That is my profile
pic, my avatar. But everyone on facebook knows me! LOL
CM: (disappointed) so you don’t look like this beautiful
woman in the picture?
FD: well, I am not that ………….tall.
CM: All I can see is a face. Who is talking about being
tall!
FD: Err..what I meant is I am shorter, I look a lil different
and my hair color is not that. Oh wait; Why am I even telling you all this! LOL
CM: (smiles)
FD: But people say I have the same eyes! LOL
CM: I am sure you do! They must be blue as well! My window opens
to the beach and it’s blue everywhere. The sea lies outside like an open blue book.
I believe if you look real deep into any one’s eyes, you can read them like an open
book.
FD: Is it so? What have you read recently? (looks coy)
CM: I am reading “Cocktail hour under the tree of forgetfulness”,
by Alexandra Fuller. Being where I am right now, I don’t get to read many eyes.
(chuckles)
FD: Ohh…. Was it about a few guys who get drunk and forget
where they are? I think I saw the movie…was late night. Can’t remember the
name! LOL
CM: (smiles) No madam, this is about Fuller’s mother living
in Africa. Not a movie. What was the last book you read?
FD: (embarrassed smile) well..I don’t really get any time to
read books. I have this big book shelf all full of books. But I find it more
convenient to read e-books. I am a netizen, you see! LOL
CM: What else do you do netizen?
FD: I do everything, buddy! Ha ha! I am a busy body on the
net and off the net. Please don’t ask me to explain..! LOL
CM: To be busy all the time is a blessing.
FD: (embarrassed smile) Okaayyyy…so on which planet are you
on to be away from eyes and people?
CM: I am on Easter island.
FD: Sorry, never heard of it! But it must be beautiful
there! But how come you sound so lonely? What do you do for a living? Are you a
diving instructor or something? LOL
CM: We get very few visitors. I am a fisherman.
FD: Oh ho…
CM: (smiles)
FD: Anyway…was nice talking to you Steve! I wish you all the
best.
CM: Why are you leaving so soon, madam?
FD: Like I said, I am quite busy even when I am on the net.
I am talking to another dozen people right now. Didn’t you notice the number of
communities I manage on facebook?
CM: Then how come you are alone having a frappuccino?
FD: What??? How the hell do you know that?
CM: I am not on Easter island. I am here in the same café looking
at you.You are nothing like
your profile pic. You have no book shelf. You are not Teena. You are Teresa.Your
girl friend is Danielle. She is nice and I am dating her. I and Danielle are going
fishing. I am not Steve. I am the good looking stranger across your table. It was fun talking
to you, Teresa. I wish you all the best. Btw, I paid for your coffee.
FD: (face palm)
