gev: howdy. gev@lj here. jsut had to add you, since you have ICQ,
unlike most people. :)
gev: User 4500593/gev has requested your authorization to add you to
his/her contact list
evile: Request for authorization was sent to 4500593/gev
"hey.,"
gev: User 4500593/gev has accepted your request to add him/her to
your Contact List.
evile: yeah, ICQ to go is the thing that does not crash my work
computer, so that's what I use.
evile: You are a friend of several of my friends, on LJ, I believe?
gev: mmm.. just elphie, mouser, and onyxlynxx, though I've only met onyxlynxxx
that I know of. oh, and squeakbaby, but she never friended me back,
even though I've known her for.. oh.. a decade or so. :)
evile: she's a little flighty at times.
gev: but I loved your idea of a complete Mountain Dew meal. :)
evile: ew. you *must* be an IT geek.
gev: heheh... somewhat. I'm pretty geeky, but...
gev: well, I liked the idea. but follow-through is a bitch.
evile: I just don't like Mountain Dew enough to go to all that
trouble. As fascinating as the idea may be.
gev: /me grins.
gev: I rarely drink Dew either, so...
gev: though I did get a 12pak of the Pitch Black. blah.
gev: I *do* need to get some 7Up Plus though.
evile: yeah. I think someone put it best when they said "it
tastes....Purple."
gev: yeah
evile: I dont' think I've seen 7 up plus yet.
gev: it's "berry flavored" and has added vitamins and stuff.
evile: mm. vitamins.
gev: /me googles it for better details.
gev: ah, calcium & vitamin C
evile: yum!
gev: and still caffein free!
gev: geeze.. apparently it's been in stores since late August, with a
$50million marketing push afterwards. I didn't see anythign about it
until a commercial like two weeks ago.
evile: That would be Seven up plus PLUS that has the caffeine.
gev: but hey, 7Up is having a contest giving a way a flight on Space
Ship One, so doubleplusgood!
evile: Oh, wow. That would be fun.
gev: fun, understatement of the universe. :)
gev: I was discussing that with a friendthe other day and they were
like "well, if there was some place to GO", and I kinda looked at
them and said "oh, how about the ISS?"
evile: reading about the first commercially available air flights,
they weren't the most comfortable things in the world, and the
stewardesses were actually nurses in case you passed out or got an
embolism or whatever.
gev: I'd be happy to just be strapped into the thing and flown into
orbit and back.
evile: as long as there are big windows, yeah.
gev: heh, onyxlynxx says you should come to silver... er, fnordchat. can
you telnet or ssh from work?
evile: um...I have NO idea.
gev: hmm.. waht sort of system are you on, Windows?
evile: yeah.
gev: well, first, are you even interested at this point? :)
gev: hmm.. I guess I'll let onyxlynxx walk you through it. :)
evile: sure, but not today. I leave work in, like, 15 min, so
probably not enough time to get it done.
gev: aaah, ok. :)
evile: I'm a former MUSH-aholic, so this might be dangerous for me...
gev: heheh... well, fnordchat is no game, just chat. :)
evile: the MUSH had a game, but I didn't play, just chatted.
gev: oh cool.. :) So, onyxlynxx says you're cool, even cooler than her.
which I find difficult to believe, but utterly fascinating if true.
evile: Not cooler than onyxlynxx. But Ok.
gev: well, I'll let you guys fight that one out. :)
evile: heh.
gev: "no! SHE's cooler!"
evile: *laff*
gev: I think I shall be-friend you on lj too, m;kay?
evile: Ok :)
gev: what is/are your favorite color[s]?
evile: (performance anxiety--OMG, now I have to post COOl stuff...oh
crap!)
gev: pshaw!
evile: cobalt blue.
gev: hmm.. lj doesn't have cobalt... how about bright blue? :)
evile: OK.
gev: yay added. :)
gev: /me adds AIM & YIM addresses too...
evile: yahoo crashes my computer. and I don't think AIM 'lite' works
gev: even at home?
evile: Oh, I don't know. I am rarely online at home. I have this
silly thing called a life when I'm not at work, you see...
evile: :P
gev: oh you so silly. :)
evile: I will have to try it from home sometime.
gev: I recommend Trillian as an all-in-one IM client.
gev: but, tis' time for you to go home, so go home. :) and drive
safe., :)
evile: My machine at home is very old & cranky, has no memory & won't
accept Trillian as its personal savior.
evile: Yup, you're right. time to go. See ya later! :) Nice to meet
you!
gev: awww shucks. :(
gev: take care... nice meeting you too. :)
evile: hee!
