I told her I heard about it from YouTube. She can’t visit YouTube. I told her about orange chicken, she knew nothing about it. I figured I’d link her to Wikipedia but decided to ask her if it’s okay for her to view it. I guess Wikipedia is banned out there too.
Also, apparently, Shanghai is part of Southern China.
After the Holland kid, I met this lovely fellow/lass:

God this brings me back to, like, 1996 AOL chatrooms. I just went on and spent two hours having hilarious conversations. I’ll share this one because it’s brief and funny:
Ah, here’s my “Cheer Up The Chatbot” log. Note that this isn’t Omegle; though similar in principle, the person on the other end was under the impression that I was a chatbot (which kinda puts their behavior in a different light :D):
I have to wonder what sort of person attempts cybersex with something that is (as far as they know) an inanimate chatbot. I’m guessing that the first guy to come up with a bot actually capable of sustaining convincing erotic conversations with humans will make an obscene amount of money…
Jeesh. I was just chatting with someone who coincidentally grew up an hour from my hometown. The first returned comment was “Hi Sexy.” I cleared up the fact that that direction wasn’t where I wanted to go, and then we found some common ground and smack-dab in the middle of the conversation he/she disconnected. Oookkkayyy… I assume it was a he, and when it perhaps became apparent that I was too he blew my away. (Perhaps it was my attempt to steer the chat to the state of the economy in his/her part of the country.) I guess chicks don’t talk about economies and unemployment rates.
Here’s my first log. I pulled some phrases out of an online Korean phrase book. The long sentence is something like “My hovercraft is full of eels.” I’m not surprised this didn’t last too long.
You: hi!
Stranger: 방갑
You: uh oh, i don’t speak korean
Stranger: 거짓말~
Stranger: 어디 사셈?
You: 내 호버크라프트는 장어로 가득 차 있어요
Stranger: 먼소리야 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Stranger: from?
You: 저는 Los Angeles 에서 왔어요
Stranger: american?
You: yes
Stranger: cool
Your conversational partner has disconnected.
Stranger: Bush skydives to celebrate 85th birthday
You: Does that make him the oldest person to ever skydive?
Stranger: no way
Stranger: maybe the oldes x president
Stranger: oldest
You: Maybe the only president.
You: Good thing Ford never tried it!
Stranger: I’d like to see obama do it lol
You: With secret service skydiveing around him with assault rifles
You: and you?
Stranger: hongkong
You: oh wow. I just talked to someone from around there
Stranger: yes… hahaha
You: from Jiangsu
Stranger: where is Jiangsu?
You: Around Shanghai I guess
You: I don’t know China too well
Stranger: me2
I kept talking to her but that’s the second Chinese person that didn’t know the provinces of their own country. Is it just a translation thing? That’s literally the second Chinese person I out Chinesed.
Here’s a excerpt with a rather boring one right now, with some chick from Cleveland:
You: god, there’s a ton of BS people push on these infomercials
Stranger: They are just Crazy
You: oooof
You: flat out lying… this one is pushing that “secret mystery shopper” scam
Stranger: Yes. that is why i do not buy off the T.V.
You: it’s only a matter of time before there’s a Nigerian 419 scam infomercial
Stranger: I am watching a video now, hang on 1 second please
You: np
You: Zzzzzzzzzzz
Well, I just had an interesting chat with a guy in Korea, South that is. It was a pretty decent conversation and then… he asked for my email address. Well, we both seemed like intelligent well-rounded individuals and so I actually gave him my email, since he enjoyed our chat and wanted to stay in touch. I got his email address too. He’s 28: I’m 46 and we obviously shared this information. I’m married and have no freakin’ idea what his orientation is, nor do I care frankly.
After a couple of tries, our emails never made it through. I didn’t think South Korea would be blocking anything, and most definitely Canada isn’t. So he asked for an MSN contact. I haven’t used MSN in years but, ya’ know he was a pleasant guy and his English was pretty good so, I reactivated an MSN account and connected with him. His email ISP checked out as Korean and again he seemed normal.
Maybe my Spidey senses are tingling for the wrong reasons but near the end of the MSN conversation it got a bit strange with him thanking me for adding him as a friend and all. He sounded too thankful. Maybe it’s just a cultural thing and he’s happy to be able to chat with a “normal” person from half way around the planet. Which basically is what i was looking to do anyway.
Stay tuned for future updates on “Clingy Korean Guy.”
