As indicated on my previous post I fixed my problem where I was not able 
to do:

usr = User.new
usr.username

because I forgot to call super in my initialize method. Now I have a 
related but different problem. Now I am trying to assign a value to the 
username. So I have

... Controller Definition ...
def save
	usr = User.new
	usr.username = "foobar"
end
... Controller Definition ...

When I do this I get the following:

wrong number of arguments (2 for 1)
/app/controllers/user_controller.rb:43:in `method_missing'
/app/controllers/user_controller.rb:43:in `save'
/app/controllers/application.rb:30:in `process'

Line 43 of user_controller is 'usr.username = "foobar"'. Any ideas? I 
can call the write_attribute method fine but for some reason cannot use 
the method_missing auto generated methods.
