Scott - "At least you get to work with people, I have to deal with users."
Is it wrong to refer to people as users within a computer useage sense of the word? Im writing my report for my internship, and its much easier to refer to people as users. I suppose only people working within IT don't like being called users... as it implies that you are the one being supported. The users don't acutally know they are users.

if you feel like following Welsh tradition, the W is an 'oo' sound. otherwise, I don't know that it is pronounceable... not that it really matters I mean, the Manic Street Preachers have a song SYMM - and that's what it's called, though the song spells it out as South Yorkshire Mass Murderer but you know... it could just be SWLABR

Sweet! Tony, I figured out the song where "the rainbow has a beard." I also figured out why I didn't remember the name. It's called SWLABR. Fuck if I know how to pronounce it, though.

or... she really does think you'd be better as a girl, Taylor.
it's a good way to catch someone's attention, wouldn't you say? Would you have remembered her the same, and agonized over her the same if she hadn't said the whole "I'd like you better if you were a girl" bit? Maybe she's hoping you'll put some real effort into going for coffee, versus what would happen if she'd said she was just plain into you. I dunno. girls are fun, and sometimes their manipulations don't actually have much to do with their sexuality. ... like AD said.

why doesn't spellcheck recognize "lightning" as a word?

Taylor, pay attention for one minute. If she was all over you like that, she is definately into you. Sure, she could be bi, but I'm going to go with something a little more sinister. I highly doubt she really is a lesbian at all. Every time a girl is having a guy she wants to pick up but is having difficulty, I always give her the exact same advice. Not as much of a joke either. I tell them that all they have to do is tell the guy she's bi, and he's pretty much hers to toy with. It sounds sad but it's true. A girls rating jumps about 10 points just based on that simple little statement. I think that was just an attempt at putting the nail in your coffin. Or maybe she is, and she just likes you intellectually or as a person...

She could want to be your friend if she is a lesbian. She likes your style and you two obviously have the same interest (I don't know what you talked about), plus you didn't push her down and accuse her of being a dyke. You are a liberal minded male with a good sense of style and she wants to be your friend (if she is a lesbian as you claim, even if she wasn't it doesn't really matter she still wants to go for coffee.), so go for it and don't think too much about it. Have fun, enjoy each others company, nothing wrong with that.
