Random Tip for Gamer Guys:

When chatting on MMORPG forums, don't use the phrase "real, live girls" (or even "real, live women", for that matter). It's creepy. And kinda funny...but not in a good way. *grimace*

Point taken.

Real, live guys

... yeah, I can only begin see where that's just funny in a way that's definitely not good.

Hehe. Well, it just tends to suggest that the person saying that has never actually spoken to any of said "real, live girls." And, since I don't buy the whole "geekiness repels females" idea, there's really no excuse for speaking about women as if we were some kind of mythical creature...it's not pathetic in a cute way - it's just weird.

Congratulations on graduating yesterday, by the way =)

Thank you!

And I agree, the "geekiness repels females" thing is a myth - in the last few months of school I found quite the opposite!
