Earlier this afternoon I got two instant messages which I later found out were from the same person. Turns out there was a problem with Yahoo! IM so we had problems communicating at first ... later, though, boy, did we ever communicate -- and how! I'm not reproducing much of the beginning of our conversation, since it was all "hello" and "there is a problem." The good bit I'm reproducing uncensored! Heavens to Mergatroid!
Keep in mind that this dude sent me a response to my online personal, which specifically says that I'm only looking for friends right now. DUH!

| felixjer: | so what's up |
| gob_6420774: | nothing mutch how about you |
| felixjer: | nothin. just at work |
| felixjer: | not working tho. no work to do. |
| gob_6420774: | so what do you do |
| felixjer: | work in xxx's web devo office |
| gob_6420774: | so you are a web deveoper |
| felixjer: | no -- quality assurance. i try to break everything my team develops. or at least that's what i'm supposed to do but no one asks me to do that usually |
| gob_6420774: | what thing are you suposed to break |
| felixjer: | web applications |
| gob_6420774: | I know you cant beak a web site unless you deleate it |
| felixjer: | not a site, an application |
| felixjer: | a site is just a presentation of data. applications manipulate data. |
| felixjer: | for instance, google.com is just a site |
| felixjer: | it's just graphics and text |
| felixjer: | but the search box in the middle is an appliation |
| felixjer: | if that was something my team developed, i would try to break it. |
| gob_6420774: | O well its eather that or just break the server that stors the appliactions |
| felixjer: | you don't understand |
| felixjer: | let me explain |
| felixjer: | i don't try to break it physically |
| felixjer: | i try to get it to produce errors |
| felixjer: | so that i can show the developers, look, here's where you made a mistake in the programming |
| felixjer: | so they can go fix it |
| felixjer: | that way, when we release it to our users, there are as few errors in the programming as possible |
| felixjer: | i don't try to break it meaning 'destroy' it -- i just try to find the errors |
| gob_6420774: | I understan to begain with |

| gob_6420774: | hatten life in coon town |
| felixjer: | are you black? (Justin's note: ok, maybe if I was black I could say "nigger" without a second thought, much like I use "fag" and "dyke" sometimes.) |
| gob_6420774: | look at my profile No fucking way |
| gob_6420774: | white |
| felixjer: | where can i see your profile? |

| felixjer: | so what exactly makes you think that, even though i have a boyfriend, i'd be interested in an uneducated racist faggot who can't even spell? |

At the end of all this, I find myself asking internally: Are you kidding me? Or, like the Australians: WTF, mate?
