Lately, many thanks to Talia and Becca, I've sounded more and more like a British tween or a Justin Bieber/Selena Gomez fan... mostly because I've been talkin in hipster abbreves...
Totes... totally
Perf... perfect
Presh... precious
Offish... official
Unoffish... unofficial
Spesh... special
Apprope... appropriate
Inapprope... inappropriate
Adorbs... adorable
Uggo... ugly
I wish I could think of more right now, but I'm totes exhaust.
Here's a totes catchy Brit song, which goes perf with this post, in my pers opin.
Guh-noight mates!

Exclamation Points
It hit me while texting that the usage of exclamation points can truly, truly confuse someone about your tone.
For example:
Hello - plain, can be bored... open for interpretation
Hello! - pleasant greeting
Hello!!!!! - overly excited, desperate, impatient
Ahhh - understanding, profound, collected
Ahhh! - more excited about understanding, still collected
Ahhh!!!!! - alarming, frustrated, impatient
Looking forward to it - professional, smooth
Looking forward to it! - still smooth, demonstrates a note of positivity but still professional
Looking forward to it!!!!! - desperate, impatient
Note to self, watch my exclamation point usage.
