Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

I'd been wondering what all those squidfic jokes were about.

Now, with me and my most frequent correspondents (my BF and my Evil Twin) all broadbanded, I tend to leave the connection open all the time and have shorter exchanges throughout the day. More like being in the same house but not necessarily the same room with someone -- I might call out to them if I need to talk to them about something specific, or just drift through and say something for a few minutes in passing, but I'm less likely to have a single conversation that goes on at length.

That is so cool. OK, I know, not on topic of fic, either, but still cool.

AIM is evil and bad and has facilitated my having four-hour conversations with Reema every night.

Welcome to it, deb.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

The Squid is forever sullied in my mind now, too. Maybe even moreso than Roy Orbison.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Although somehow I don't think I'm going to be able to read OotP without stumbling across inappropriate Squiddish thoughts.

(looking insanely innocent) I rather thought it was Qidditch?

Rebecca, my love, 'allo 'allo.

I have one more AIM query. When I go to launch the software? It tells me, most ominously, that it "highly recommends" that I close all other apps.

Is that a must? Because, don' wanna.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Is that a must? Because, don' wanna.

Not really. Anyway, it sounds from that dire warning like what you're trying to launch is the installer, not the thing itself. Because, believe me, I'm running AIM with a buncha other things right now, and it's fucking great.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Does anyone have the link to the Inappropriate Crossover challenge handy? I'm partway through a due South/C.S.I. crossover, and I wanted to see if anything had been posted yet.

OK. Then what on earth is the thing I downloaded? The one sitting in "My Downloads" (and if anyone even thinks of bursting into "My Sherona"...)

Yup, sounds like that's the installer. Run that once, and it should stick a nice AIM icon on your desktop, which you can use to sign in and chat like a fiend thereafter.

Thanks for all the fish.

and if anyone even thinks of bursting into "My Sherona"

Well, I wasn't - until now. Fucker...

(ooooh my little AIM, AIM, when you get me on line, downloada....)

HOW do I actually log on to AIM and play?

edit: just saw the bit about run and icon. Shall try it....
