I definately could care less about all this, but if I write what I'm literally thinking, then, I might loose alot of your's interest and might just have to find a whole nother forum to post at. Their's just to many of you that basically decimate the entire forum posting about how you h8 the bugears that people write. I don't get it. Alot of my friend's and me are different backgrounds, and different colors, and different in many ways.... And there some of the best people I know, literally. I less than three every single one of them. So thankyou for listening. Its' something important to me, and I don't want all of you to loose sight of what's important.

:o ;D :D

Really, the only stuff that really bugs me, is when I make typos. ONe thing I do is to hold the shift key down for two instead one letters. I also tendto miss the space bar sometimes. Although I do enjoy it when I type teh word "the" as "teh" because it's funny. My biggest problem though, is that I tend to mix tenses in a single sentence that I wrote. Relax man, you're two tenses.
Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.

Of course, now you've all exposed your soft underbellies to me.  Now I know that errant apostrophes and incorrect "yours" will drive you all insane.  So watch yourselves.  Because some day, if you chance my wrath, I will drink a bottle of red wine and begin r@nt'in n l33t txtpk UnTILLL UR TR3MBlN' b4 M333333!!!!!'!

I <3 you.
Back when The Asmo was but a tiny lump of clay, it took him quite some time to figure out what people meant by "I less than three somebody". Seemed like an exercise in obviousness. When speaking of and to people of the same age, NOT being <3 someone would make one a fatass indeed...

Eventually, however, some chat service was kind enough to point out to The Asmo, that the "less than" and the "three" formed a heart, in the sideways way of smileys. The Asmo, however, still thinks the thing looks more like balls hanging out a hole in the pants.  ???
Agreed, the "I love you" or heart image '<3' threw me for longer than most.

I remember a sign on the wall of my grade school classroom that said "A lot is two words." I remember thinking that essays in that class were going to be a breeze because three words would be more than a lot.
Teachers can be so cruel sometimes  :D

Looks like tits to me.
Perhaps I have a problem.
I think I'll go make some toast, see what I can see.

I would rather be tea bagged by tits than testicles if I have a choice.
I do try to keep my expectations realistic, just a nice cup of tea made with proper leaves and without scrotum would be fine.

Some friends of mine started posting 143. Confused me so I had to ask. It was explained to me that it was an even more retarded way to say I love you. You see I has 1 letter love has 4 letters and you has 3. I think that if I am too much of a bother to spend a couple extra seconds to type I love you then don't bother saying it at all.
