In Morse code, **dot dot dot** is **S** and **dash dash dash** is **O**. The combination of **dot dot dot, dash dash dash, dot dot dot** is therefor **SOS**.

**wierdaaron,** my conclusion is that you are living in a…movie.

Be careful. It might be a romcom, but it sounds like it could also be a thriller.

If it is a romcom, I think she would be the straight-laced one I’d I’d be the free-spirited goofball, which is a reversal American audiences aren’t ready for yet.

But you don’t know if she’s hot? Why do I suspect that you are about to pull the other one?

Ahh. My bad.

You must meet this chick. You already have a first encounter (the notes) that beats 99.999% of any I have ever had.

You don’t have low ceilings, do you?
