I've gathered this thus far :P

I suppose I haven't missed much by avoiding chat...

They can be in the same sentence.

I regularly chat with friends over Google chat, and it's great. But I've tried chatting with strangers several times over the years and I've never had much success. It's entirely possible I'm in the wrong rooms though...

The fact that you may encounter worse air pollutants in your life doesn't overshadow the harmful effects of smoking or breathing in second-hand smoke. It's all additive. The only difference is that, short of picking up and moving (or wearing some sort of filter mask), you have no control over the industrial air pollution that you're breathing. You have a choice about smoking. People who breath it second-hand have a bit less of a choice, but can try to evade it: whenever my wife and I walk by a smoker, we hold our breath; whenever we're walking behind someone who is smoking, we speed up and pass them so that we're not in their smoke trail. As you say, our lungs are getting hit with enough issues from the emissions and chemicals that we breathe in every day - why add any more to it than we have to?

I haven't really done the whole chatting thing before, and all my efforts are hitting walls. Is IRC a good place to go? What servers?
A number of the anime fansub channels on IRC are sort of romance channels... bastions of perverted jokes and remarks that would probably be considered sexual harassment if they were spoken out loud.

Out of curiosity, what do you want out of a romance chat room?

Heh, mine never blamed me for anything for the 1.5 years I dated her. You know they're a keeper when they come out of the ward not once, but twice.

Went for a night of drinking. Quite intoxicated at the moment. Going back to what was said about bars earlier...it's quite amazing the kind of people you run into that are clearly talking out of their ass. I was confronted with this one woman who wanted to talk to be about the "black cock" and I was just like (oh my goodness get me out of here) and she kept ranting and ranting. Luckily the bar closed. Even when I get head deep in having too much to drink, I can take pride in the fact that I won't say something stupid and come off as a...well...belligerent drunk. I usually keep quiet. I just want to be left alone and drink my beer! Yes I could drink at home, but I like to experiment and take a shot here or there of whatever. Depending on what's available of course.

No particular reason. I'm just interested in experiencing new things, and I've never really checked out rooms before. Also, I'd like to try out talking to women a bit more, even if it is just online. But I'm thinking now it might be better to go for an "interest" room and meet women incidentally. Though part of the problem is that most of my interests are male dominated so...

You do know when they say yandere means "crazy in love," they're heavily understating the matter. I think you should have your head examined if you think dating someone like the female lead of Mirai Nikki is a good idea.

We've known each other for the abouts of 12 years now, and she made per points quite clear to all of our mutual friends a long time ago.

Also, what do you think the initial reason for me collecting weapons was?

Like I said, t'was a lot of fun.

Uhm..... you shouldn't say that in front of a kuuyandere. You might just activate her yanderu-side~~~~

Let's go with that.

Besides, she was more worried that if I walked into a kitchen, something would somehow explode and I'd get injured; to the point where she would forbid me from entering a kitchen at any house we were at.

Then we should all be sure to procure the answer to yandere and zombies: the 12-gauge shotgun.
