Hey. Anybody wants to Skype and talk mindlessly about something?

[Violet]

I skyped with Violet just now. It reminded me of those movies where the aliens come to earth and try to communicate with humans.

"Hello???"
"Healloaw"

My english is so bad lol haha

I remember when your microphone didn't work, and your fan spoke louder than ya. First call sounded more like blender crushing ice.

I skyped with Violet again. Absolutely amazing chick. I'm going to tell all my friends about her! We talked about who would win in a hypothetical fight: Bear vs Lion, Bear vs Gorilla, etc She knows a lot of crazy stuff like history and whatnot and she also knows a lot of things about animals as well ^,^

I did some later 'research' and came to a nontentative conclusion. It's the grizzly. The stats just don't lie: the grizzly is stronger, heavier, has a thicker layer of fat/skin/fur between its vitals and exterior, and can reach 35 miles an hour (a gorilla's top speed is 25 mph). I'll let you convert those to kilometers yourself....

Besides, if gorillas were so successful: how come they're trapped in a (relatively) tiny portion of Africa? The Grizzly has conquered CONTINENTS! Furthermore... the Grizzly is the most intelligent nonhuman animal in all of north America, whereas the Gorilla isn't even the most intelligent nonhuman animal in the singular region of Africa it occupies (they're completely overlapping environments containing the (more successful) Chimpanzee). 

The Grizzly possesses evolutionary superior traits, has seen a greater degree of success, and while a gorilla may be smarter than the average grizzly: the gorilla is also the dumbest of all the apes! 

If I had food in my car, in a box, a Grizzly could smell that food in a box in a car from a fair distance outside the car, can then open that car door, find the box, open it, and devour the contents... it's a remarkably adaptable creature. Gorillas HATE adaptation, DESPISE learning, and (subjectively speaking here) just look dumb.

Let's be fair here, pool can be a pretty big shithead. I'd still talk to him. I don't ignore people I think are being shitheads. I'm sure there is at least one topic we could have a decent conversation about. That said, I don't really talk to anyone on Skype unless Tibs is talking to them because . . . time.

I hear ya on the last bit. It's far more worthwhile for me to focus on my partner, and makes me happier than just about anything else I do. Not that I talk to many people regardless, or that I speak with them only in his presence though: I'd see that as a waste of time in comparison, time that I could be spending with my beloved instead of with random internet strangers.

That said, there are gaps in the time I get to spend with my husband-to-be... I capitalize those times on (debatably) fun crap like this forum, dumb roguelikes, and chatting with interestin Indians (dots, not feathers).

Regarding Pool: I've enjoyed the chats so far... haven't seen anything at all negative as of yet, but that could just be the way I see the world too. Somehow, I don't think that I'm going to have any (unforgivable) problems of any sort with the dude... this trite venture could well blossom into a good an proper international friendship.
