    Ummmm....ok. WTF is wrong with doing all of that in the real world!?!

    IMO, your girlfriend is a flake.

    I prefer them hot as hell and dumb as a post! She says this is part of a class she is taking at USC (Annenberg School for Communication) and wants my help.

    I'm gonna have to second that.

    One of these days people aren't even going to see each other in person anymore. All communications and socializing will all take place on the internet.

    I remember reading a while back about this couple that got officially married on World of Warcraft or Everquest or one of those games...

    I don't think they'd ever even met in person. Their characters in the game just loved each other so much, that they got married. That's a healthy relationship.:rolleyes:

    It's for people who can't cope with the real world.

    That being said, I know people who play just to terrorize everyone else. I couldn't be bothered.
