Good afternoon. First I would like to assure you all that my name does in fact use capital letters. I will also inform you that Cal and I share the same Grandparents, and that's how I know him.
I am currently trying to figure how to change the title of this site to 'iammatt'.
Today I will post part a MSM conversation I had with fellow regular Sal last night (this is from memory, so apologies to Sal if it's not quite correct).

Squirrell:I've got to go - NTHMY.
Squirrell:Ahem - Nice To Have Met You.
Sally:Ah - silly internet acronyms.
Squirrell:I'm getting sad like that - the other day I said "Lol" in the pub quite loudly.
Sally:Ah, I can be worse than that.
Sally:I woke up one morning, opened my wardrobe and thought "Now where is that link to my skirt?"
Sally:Damnit.
Squirrell:I spent several seconds whilst painting a wall waiting for my brain to inform me why I couldn't find the 'Fill' tool...
Sally:We're just sad, aren't we?

I am glad to hear I am not the only saddo peep! I say lol alot. I also have probs when I play computer games too much. I played Carmagheddon for hours once, next time I was in a car I couldn't work out why the driver wasn't running people over and splatting them. *oh dear*

Power to the geeks!

"Lol" ... Matt, how exactly do you pronounce that? "L-O-L", the word "lol", or "laugh out loud"? o_O

Goats are gods. Just thought I'd mention that... heh.

While we're on the 'lol' topic, is it normal to say 'brb' out loud? My fiance does that a lot. I'm asking here because I don't know many geeks in real life. *running for life*

Of course, this isn't quite as sad a friend of mine who went through a period to referring to himeslf as "slash me" all the time, as in "slash me wants another drink".

Half the conversations with some of my friends follow the format of "Pass me the +2 remote of controlling" ^_^

um, for your information:
NO, this is not normal.
NO, 'they' are not the wierd ones.
YOU are.
YES, you do need help.

if you are aware of all of these things, then carry on. :o)
