Out of sheer curiosity, I sign into Yahoo chat rooms, not to flirt or discuss whatever topic the room boasts but to meet the oddities that roam these rooms. Including me, I'll admit readily. Yet, somehow every time you return you are confronted with just one more person who will cause you to drop your jaw and stare in astonishment. I've been proposed to, after two run ins at IMing no less. I've been hit up for cyber (come on now, that's a given, 19 year old girl? Hit her up) Met a guy who decided to become a bot for straws one night. Went through with it too, for five hours all he would discuss were straws and with the five same comments. This is just a sampling of what exists that I have encountered. This one almost tops off the proposal but that guy gave up after I turned him down five times.
An Italian guy, lives in Italy. Names Igbinoba Desmond goes by Dezzy. Met him one night in the Flirting room 30 and he immediately attached himself to my personage. Whatever i thought, he might be amusing so I talked to him. He refused to IM so all conversations were held in the public forum part. Got hold of my email and now I get this. I sent him three total emails all rude and horrible (not really, not capable of direct rudeness unless seriously provoked) to see what he does. This is the most recent one he sent to me~
Dearest,
how was d night? hope u slept well, i'm ok. how's mummy, daddy and grannies, hope they are all doingfine? if so splendid. Darling, i'm missing u more and more every passing day, i wish u were here with me, honey i would have tourch d sky. Gold and silver i have none but i have wat is more than that, u know wat? i have true love, i promise to always make u happy, u will be my queen while i be ur king till d end of time
Not to make a laughing stock of him...well maybe. I send him a total of ten sentences Total in all the emails I replied too. Yet, persist he will in saying I am his one true love. What really gets me is, California is an awfully distant from Italy. There is no way I'm going to Italy to meet a guy who borderline stalks with emails twice as sappy as this. Especially since, he will only email and send letters. Yes, letters that would include an address to reply too; dangerous concept. He is waiting for my letter and picture, I already have his address. That was in his first email to me. I bet he is waiting for what passes as the postal service down by Rome for a letter without a return address.
Now this post really had no point to it either than to point out what oddities exist and to amuse those here who would find this amusing. Shoot, maybe you have run into the "Strawbot" or someone who has proposed to you. If you have or any other oddities, you know what its like to just sit there and laugh at them.
Now laugh at me because I know you want to for wasting your time.

Sometimes, people on the internet are stupid. Sometimes, they are crazy. Sometimes, they're good people.
That person is not.
:\
Stop using Yahoo chat and become an IRC nerd. Better conversation, by far.

I'm assuming you took my advice from previous reviews and contacted Hooked on Phonics. Now you can read, you might want to work on puncuation. Or perhaps you could read the newspaper or some good literature. Through reading aforementioned pieces of writing you could, in fact, learn how to write a story, with a beginning, middle and end, by example. You are a twat.

I was on the internet once, and was using Uber. I read about this guy named Katastrofa, and he sucked ass. He whined about some bullshit, and I actually laughed, not at the article, but at my self for actually finishing it and realizing that I have nothing else better to do than read every last thing on Uber, even if it's average rating is -2. I have spoken.
