Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

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.

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.

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

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...

Jilli, I would just leave that blank.

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

What is even happening?

I'm sure it sounds affected, but since I really am using it completely unconsciously, I can't help it.

Yep. Same for me, along with "bugger", "bloody", and "wanker".

Same here. I can't remember not saying "bugger."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Jilli, can you ask your manager what you should put in that slot?

Were you edit or test when you were blue before?

I use bugger and bloody, but I picked them up from my potty mouth mother. Also, a long, hissed form of shit, which appears to be how all the females in my family say it, per my BiL.

I've mentioned that my mother doesn't get that some people do consider "hell" to be cursing, right? And that she thinks they're just being silly or coy, and what the hell is wrong with them, it's a perfectly fine word, and for that matter, so is (insert cuss here).

My family was shocked *shocked* to realize some people consider frigging a curse.

You, err, didn't fill them in on the meaning, did you?
