The problem with people is that you no longer have the perfect few whom you could spend hours verbally sparring with. The wit, the wisdom, the nonsense. The stabbing, the lasers and eventually the giggles of amusement between the parties involved.
Nothing below the belt, we all knew what that entails. If one did hit below, a stern warning or the phrase "That was too much," would be shot out faster than you can make the 'omg sorry' face. We knew the rules. Well, we used to know the rules.
Now, everyone's scattered across the globe. Friendships broken and lost, new ones formed but without the dynamics of a gaggle of misfits with the wit of kings. The dynamics between the two people vary from male to female and the inbetweeners. In other words, they each knew how the rest worked. We knew which buttons to push and which not to. We knew the big red sign that said 'DO NOT TOUCH' and we didn't touch it because that would mean trouble.
There was the few awkward glances when a stern warning wasn't raised. The dysfunctional silence where none of us knew what to respond with. The simple end remark. The closing words. Those uttered when all you wanted to do was to giggle at the words previously being thrown around lavishly. Then there were the flashbacks of what he said, she said, they said and when and whether or not it was relevant to the topic or just drivvel from the mouth of the nonsensical yet timely entertainer.
Use it or lose it is the phrase of the day. Use it I haven't and losing it I am, albeit slowly. So slow in fact I am beginning to suffer. I miss those people. Those few who were just so ridiculously witty you could fall in love with their mind.
I don't even have proper nonsense contests anymore. I sigh in disdain at the state of things in present times. Hopefully the timely change will flip the switch back to the amount of rapier wit I had acquireed within the three years of highschool. The barrage of insanity, I hope does not stop. Never. A mind continuously churning for better things to chew on. If it had a mouth.
