I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

*meaning what people usually mean when they say ironically, which is of course, not generally ironic at all. Ironic.

brenda, I think you just turned my skull into a Klein bottle

So, is it possible on AIM to have sent somebody a message/friended somebody without being aware that you were doing it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If you're drunk, maybe.

But since I've very rarely heard anglos use it other than "ironically" I guess I can't really say how I'd take it in practice.

I'm not exactly sure how many of my anglo friends swore in French, but I came away with "calice" and "taber..." I have no idea how one spells taberouite for real, nor why I should need to bowdlerise my French swearing. But I do, sometimes.

I'm not drunk, but I am tired. (I just got some snarky message from somebody on AIM asking me who I was -- I asked the same thing and the other person was all "you wanted to talk to me " - which is interesting since I have no idea who the heck they are.) I just blocked them. Could they be an AIM troll? (They were listed under "new buddy".)

I'm filling out the various documents for my interview next week. "Wage or Salary Required:" I don't know. More than I'm making now. There isn't really anyone at the company I can ask, quiet-like, about the average salary for technical editors.

Oy. I know not of the more recent clients, but I'm prompted specifically if I want to start a convo with someone I've never spoken to before (even if they're on my friends list). So I don't know how that can happen.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The latest version of AOL added a "feature" to AIM that automatically adds anyone who sends you a message to your "Recent Buddies" list. This includes folks who send you pornographic IM spam, just so you won't forget who they were. Ta ever so...

I don't think that's an option, sadly.
