lol-legend

apologies for no post yesterday.

For a good while now 2 phrases have confused and annoyed me greatly.
these are 'legend' and 'lol'.

a few days ago i was called a legend, now i think this might be a compliment but it took me
a while to figure this out. you see the only 'legends' i know of are: The legend of Robin Hood,
The legend of Zorro and the legendary birds from the old pokemon games. this means that ALL legends i know
of are either fictional or dead (i know the legendary birds are dead, i shot them myself).
So thanks for the compliment, anonymous person.

the other saying, lol confuses me because it sounds nothing like a laugh, what was wrong with haha, for the sake of one letter!
also, people are nearly always lying about it:
i was talking to a friend on msn the other day (not the same one which called me a legend, this is not a vendetta) and his webcam was on.
and at some point in the conversation he entered 'lol' but did not laugh. this is perhaps one of the daftest things i have ever seen in my life.
the other annoying thing is the addiction to saying 'lol', it appears in practically any sentence which isn't long enough to fill a whole line. i have seen
nearly every combination of this with the exceptions of:

'lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol'
and 'i went to a funerat today, lol'

actually, i think i have seen both of those lol.

damn!
now i'm infected with it, run! save yourselves!
