Huntington? Huntersville? Hunterton?

At a friend and coworker's suggestion, I give you this: Proof that I'm still not "from" Fort Wayne. I've changed our screen names and gotten rid of superfluous posts. I'm the one with the capital "J" and the "3." I've left our typeos and strange abbreviations. It's more authentic that way, I think.

j******s(10:46:58AM): care to lunch today and try to redeem this le suck Monday?
J********3(10:47:10AM): I do, so long as we go somewhere north.
J********3(10:47:18AM): I've an i'view at 1.30 I'd like to head to after.
j******s(10:48:13AM): There be a Jimmy John's on Coldwater
J********3(10:48:19AM): The i'views in Huntington, so I was figuring to stop somehwere along Lima.
j******s(10:48:27AM): that would work too
j******s(10:48:31AM): wait
j******s(10:48:34AM): Huntington is not north
J********3(10:48:42AM): Huntersville?
j******s(10:48:47AM): Huntertown?
J********3(10:48:50AM): Sure
j******s(10:48:52AM): LOL
J********3(10:48:52AM): That too
J********3(10:49:06AM): Hehe, I just know I"m going north on LIma for like 10 miles then turning off on Shoaff Road.
j******s(10:49:23AM): You need to copy this IM convo and post it on your blog

I found the suggestion endearing, so I'm obliging. Here's to making myself at home, kids.
