Well ain't that something. Rock Steady, you WILL send my pictures back and you WILL keep your mouth shut. Understand SHUT!
Seriously, welcome to the Cellar in spite of Sycamore's praise.

a girl couldn't possibly be a software engineer, huh?

You are not alone as far as being a parent of an aspie

Hrm....wait...your terms aren't supposed to be that mutually exclusive there, are they noodle?

I am a girl (wait while I check, it's been a while and I forget....yup....have the mandatory ovaries)

I'm a software engineer. (finally!)

Believe it or not, I DO date....and eventually I'd like to get married and have a family. I've just not had much luck with meeting a 'quality' applicant for the position.

Yes, I'm demanding...but not overly so. (Although some peoples opinions may vary, mine happens to be the right one.)

Yes, a female friend of mine conducted the search for many years and did get married.

The funniest thing she told me was that she got to the point where sometimes it was quickly clear a guy was a loser. She had some dinner dates where she ended the evening after talking with the guy while they were waiting for a table at the bar. She figured why waste time on a loser? Well, she is a CFO afterall, and likes efficiency.

Go ahead and screen those applicants carefully.

I haven't dated in a year, so i need to make fun of other people to quench the bitterness and loneliness. please leave me alone with my guitars and my jabby stick of sarcasm,all of you.

actually two people have tried to set me up, but i will have none of it. they just want me married and miserable like them. hey brianna? i guess it does take awhile for the bad juju to go away. learn from my example and get over it quicker.

Well I think I know who you work for, are you willing/able to talk about your work at all, it's, as i'm sure you're well aware, a rather interesting field these days.

Oh no, don't tell me you're a spy from G--gle!

I believe there are a number of companies that fit the description I gave. Of course, I can only say so much about the work. After five years of doing this, the world is finally ready for it. Ra!

Hi from the library! Home of sticky keyboard keys!! I don't care if you came on as Gwennie or whatever. I thought you were nice and I appreciate your mojo. I'm really a 41 year old woman but my name's not Brianna--that's my Ultimate name. At least it WAS. Now I just want to be called Jane. Jane Doe.

Thanks. I liked the way you bared your soul about what you are going thru. I was a little more free in talking in that thread as my other character.

Personally, I have to no problem with cross-dressers, because they aren't being dishonest; they are being themselves. But someone who deliberately misleads everyone as a way of "goofing off"... that's just childish. It's stringing people along for your own amusement. True, you came clean here (presuming this persona isn't another fabrication), and that blunts some of the obnoxiousness off... but it's still childish.

Not that I feel strongly about it... in the end, it's the content that matters here, not the person... but this sort of thing inspires people to keep a large grain of salt handy whenever they run across one of your posts.

yeah, well. i dont really have any issue with them or tranny's either for that matter. and i'm not really even mad at gwennie, either. like it matters on here, anyway. the thing that bugs me is that she is a little bit flirty. that's wrong. so........ now we all know.


.....cock.
