Good Omegle Convo

You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi! Question to discuss:

Does grammar matter? You: yes Stranger: absolutely. my biggest pet peeve is bad grammar and typos You: i fucking hate when people can't spell You: i can dismiss a typo or two Stranger: i have to hold back 99% of the time. You: but don't substitute "q" for "g" You: its you're not your Stranger: yea, i mean if you're typing fast and mess up its one thing, but given that something like 14% of the population is Functionally Illiterate it just irks me to no end You: i feel you Stranger: ive 'unfriended' people who just cant get their shit straight Stranger: or should i say get there shyt strait You: i know text messages only allow 160 per message but damn clean up your grammar Stranger: hahaha, right? if i can get my point across then so can they You: indeed and if you're message is going to be super long, call the person instead Stranger: i just stumbled upon this omegle site earlier....it's an interesting social experiment You: it is Stranger: full of a lot of creeps, but interesting nonetheless You: i constantly survey people Stranger: haha i had some fun earlier. watched an intense scientology vs mormonism debate You: you're lucky... i usually get dumbfucks haha Stranger: well...one out of about 10 attempts...i'd say most users here are probably fucksticks in their own special ways You: yes, they're either pervs or too young or both lol Stranger: a few minutes ago i had a 14 year old ask me for my facebook and some photos....im sure whomever it was isnt really 14 but still....my only thought was, ew - my son is nearly 14, next thought, 'time to take away the computer' You: well as long as you're raising him right you should be fine You: but yea there are many trolls on omegle Stranger: as there are everywhere. how long has this site been around?

You: i don't know exactly i stumbled upon it 2 years ago during my freshman sociology class at ucla... and back then there were only about 7k users online max You: so maybe 3 years ago Stranger: holy shit - i kind of figured this was relatively new. if it weren't for the fact people lie when given the opportunity it'd be a great sociological tool. You: i think that was what the creator had in mind, but there are many weirdos online You: have you tried chatroulette.com Stranger: no, actually, i haven't been in a chat room since i was a kid and using AOL to be perfectly honest Stranger: this is a definite first for my adult life Stranger: lol You: its like omegle but with better video quality You: i havent been on it since last year but you can usually find some to converse with... they have a problem with keeping nudes out though so watch out for those Stranger: what part of the world are you in? You: U.S... california You: you? Stranger: DC Stranger: i guess ucla should have tipped me off - grad school now? You: no junior year in my undergrad but i'm not attending ucla anymore it was too expensive I transferred out after my freshman year to Cal State San Bernardino Stranger: what are you getting your degree in? You: math with a teaching credential... but i am really considering going all the way for a Ph.D or at least a masters You: did you attend college? Stranger: only way to get any decent career is with a ph.d now. Stranger: i have an associates in photography; i own an architectural photography firm. given that an AS is basically the new GED it's not something i'm especially excited to have hanging on my wall, haha You: definitely i feel like everyone has a B.A nowadays You: hey its better than nothing Stranger: minimum of a BA. a friend of mine is developing ulcers getting her 2nd masters and she's only 29. Stranger: frankly, i went to overpriced art school to learn what i could have gotten from a 29.99 book at borders. but it was fun, i got a lot, and years later i'm doing alright.

Stranger: so: math. a particular area? pardon my overwhelming ignorance, i'd ask a more direct question but math and i never got along much You: thats the reason i decided it wasn't worth going to ucla for 26k a year when i can be spending 5k a year at CSUSB You: well im learning everything there is to know, calculus, probabilty theory, number theory, real analysis... the list goes on, but I plan on teaching high school math Stranger: that's awesome! i had decent math teachers up until about 10th grade, at which point i was barely making it to school anyways. a good teacher makes all the difference, and the educational system/students need a serious boost with math/science/arts (english/writing/pe/music....) most people get a teaching degree in english lit, or childhood education it seems. Nice to know some people want to go beyond that :) You: yea, i was lucky enough to have excellent teachers through out my life but i always had one or two that simply showed up and assigned busy work... i figure if youre only working 10 months a year, 5 days a week, 7 hours a day, you should be doing your best to get students to learn instead of complaining how bad your students are... You: if you know your stuff it isn't difficult, im a tutor at my old high school and i feel like i can do a better job than some teachers... I was actually recently surprised to find out that 7 of our science teachers don't even have a degree in science they have degrees in music, kinesiology... and people wonder why our education system is failing Stranger: im about to crash it's 3:30am here. its been nice talking with you! good luck with school and maybe someday my boy will be in your class :) dont lose sight of why you're aiming at education :) You: haha ok, well good night it was a delightful chat... you can follow my blog if you'd like... soymoynnn.tumblr.com
