Lasterday I was having a charisma gchat with a female that I know.

There’s more to the story, so just hang on.

During chat, I said something about how the idea for The Christmas Bridge came from a throwaway blog post, and then this happened.

girl: you’re so utilitarian sometimes it kills me
girl: i have to go for a sec
girl: try and be here when i get back mr aloof

me: good i need a break so I can look up utilitarian
me: how do you spell it lol

The funny thing is how I’ve tried to explain to this girl how uneducated I am, but she won’t believe me. Anyway:

u·til·i·tar·i·an   
[yoo-til-i-tair-ee-uhn]
–adjective

1. pertaining to or consisting in utility.
2. having regard to utility or usefulness rather than beauty, ornamentation, etc.
3. of, pertaining to, or adhering to the doctrine of utilitarianism.

I still have no idea what it means. Am I a Communist pinko or whatever.

That would be something if yootilitaireeuhn was a real word. lol

And therein came an idea for a book called The Yootilitaireeuhn.
