I can now type like a speed demon banshee on crack!

I think and the words fall down on the screen.

That's most helpfull when writing up 40 page project reports.

Problem is the spelling and grammar take a beating. Imagine typing your paper late at night after you just got done with a raid. You start typing your paper on the Peloponnesian War in dood speak.

My main problem is that I'm starting to WRITE "the" as "teh"..

One bad thing though is I try to do things like shift up to repeat/copy text amongst other things.

Also sometimes my hatred of frogloks sneaks into whatever I'm typing.

Biffin almost wrote down "Biffin thinks that..." in an english final two years ago instead of "I think that"...

That was also the year that Biffin was semi flirting with a girl and called her "sir" accidently.. quite possibly one of the lowest moments in Biffin's life >_<

Also have very recently *almost* signed of several several e-mails to Biffin's last girlfriend as "The Biffin, Studmuffin at large" instead of using Biffin's RL name.... an e-mail like that to someone who's entire knowledge of computers is e-mail would have proved to be quite akward.... evenmore so because Biffin had fooled her into thinking that he didn't play video games so ;p

Biffin, if she can't accept the fact that you are a gamer, she does not deserve you, in any way shape or form. =p

Well, it's not so much as accepting the gamer thing, as it was hidden for the same reasons as why you'd never go up to a girl in a bar and say, "Hi, I have X character on Veeshan!" as an attempt to impress her ;p

rofl.

Date computer chick nerds. They ARE hot, 95% of the time, and actually have a brain to back up their body.

Rofl, it's quite the reverse here to say the least ;p

Besides, it's be very weird going out with a girl that was into computer games.. although gift ideas would be SO much easier instead of having to literally steal flowers from a flowerbed at the university (don't ask ;p)

Well I have to disagree with you there. While the Veeshan women at Fan Faire for the most part were very attractive, on the whole I wouldn't call 95% of the women there hot. Many of them were down-right unattractive.

The Veeshan women that speak their minds, and don't mind(and sometimes embrace) the drivel here, have my full attention ;)

The Veeshan women were the only hot women at FF.

Except for that one live quest NPC on floor 4 who flashed me her thong on night one! She was pretty hot. :D

Damn, I must be going to one of the lucky colleges then, heh. ;)

And if not necessasrily hot, you can always settle for cute. Cute + brain > hot and no brain.

Tanarus, Verant's moneymaker before EQ, got me typing insanely fast. Imagine trying to constantly chat while driving a tank, gotta be quick!

Hmm, couple of weeks ago I was suffering the laundry day, and ran out of smokes, so I grabbed my FF t-shirt since it was clean, and headed to the store. Since I was out, I decided to grab some food at a little semi local pizza place, while I was there I had a great 3 hour conversation with a serious babe, and the convo was started by "Oh, you went to a fan faire, I want to go to one eventually"

The typing thing is wierd, since I have always typed well, but the move to EQ from MUDS kicked my ass, since I had always aliased ; for say, and it took me a few months to stop doing so. Oh yeah and when I slum the MUDS online now, I want to hit enter before I do anything heh.
