The Flash player won’t work with variable bitrate encoding (does some wonky stuff that makes me sound like one of the Chipmunks), so for replay of the webcast you can either listen below or download the full MP3 (including musical interludes) here. [Side note: you are listening to a recording and not a live broadcast, so please do not IM me while listening to the recording. Unless I'm broadcasting live, I will not respond.]
hikarukujo: sorry, i took a call
Sihaya: WB
hikarukujo: and you were brilliant, adri
Sihaya: *nods*
Lessa: I think your outnumbered Adri.
hikarukujo: hi, Lessa!
Adrien-Luc: I think I’m blushing and trying to find the grace to say “thank you” instead of continuously protesting.
Lessa: Hi Hikarukujo (good lord could you HAVE more letters in your name? *L*)
Sihaya: Goooood
Lessa: He can be taught!
Sihaya: I bet he could if he tried xD
hikarukujo: i was going to go with hikarukujoisthegreatestinalltheknownuniverse
hikarukujo: but it didn’t like that
Lessa: Niiiiiiiice…
Sihaya: See? =)
Lessa: Man, I should hang out here more often. *L*
Lessa: Ya’ll are as snarky as me!
Sihaya: =D
Lessa: I usually just lurk around the feeds. all stalker like.
Sihaya: =o How Ninja
Lessa: haha!
Sihaya: I usually come around 3 times a day trying to decide wether to comment on something or not xD
Sihaya: Is that lurking?
Lessa: Well, do you actually comment?
Lessa: Eventually?
Lessa: *g*
Sihaya: Often
Sihaya: ^^
Lessa: Then you’re less a lurker then me.
Sihaya: Or I have too much time on my hands xD (which I do)
hikarukujo: that’s what i fear most about working from home
hikarukujo: i spend too much time reading my rss feeds than actually working
Sihaya: Well, you can only read those so many times…
Lessa: *LOL* Well, all my ‘work’ online doesn’t take half the amount of time I tell people it does. So I have time to read feeds. *L*
Lessa: that and it doesn’t pay my bills - SS does, so. I can be lazy if I wanna
Sihaya: My BF and his coworkers use MSN as an internal communication tool at work xD
Sihaya: so I get to talk to him all day
Lessa: nice! I spend hours in gmail emailing my BFF back and forth on the sly.
Sihaya: =)
hikarukujo: my friends hate me when i can go get a haircut at 11 am or go christmas shopping on a tuesday afternoon
Sihaya: =)
hikarukujo: but next week is all job interviews, i’m jumping ship before the lack of IT work bankrupts the company
Lessa: …why would you do anything before noon? *blinks* Course, that might just be me… *L*
Adrien-Luc: Okay, it’s up using default embedding. Once I close down the chat room I’ll post a log of the sheer insanity that went on in here (mostly after the broadcast).
Sihaya: my brother just got home >_> At half past one in the morning… And he brought his new girlfriend my mom doesn’t want sleeping over yet… That’s gonna be Hell in the morning
hikarukujo: haha
hikarukujo: well, i need to run
Sihaya: bye bye!
Sihaya: see you around =)
hikarukujo: you did a wonderful job, adri, and don’t let yourself think otherwise
Lessa: Later Hikaru
hikarukujo: and for the record, you do represent gay lifestyle well (that other person needs to pull their head out of their ass)
Adrien-Luc: ~bites his tongue~ Thank you.
Adrien-Luc: See you around.
Sihaya: ^^
hikarukujo has left.
Lessa: Oh man. Sounds like I missed some good stuff. heh.
Sihaya: You should listen to it as soon as you can
Adrien-Luc: There’s a recording of it up on this post now, though if you refresh you’ll get booted out of the chat–though I do want to close it down soon so I can post the log anyway.
Adrien-Luc: Yes, spread the humiliation!
Adrien-Luc: What’s funny is that in three different trial runs, I didn’t trip over my tongue once. Live? At least four times.
Sihaya: That’s to be expected
Lessa: Only 4? Hell, babe, that’s damn good. I can’t even do telephone interviews because my tongue gets in front of my eye teeth and I can’t see waht I’m saying…
Sihaya: ^^
Adrien-Luc: ~dies~ I love that.
Lessa: *tips hat*
Lessa: AndI’m completely hopeless in person
Lessa: so it’s all Email, all the time.
Adrien-Luc: I am too, Lessa. Shy, reticent, and very snarly.
Sihaya: The recording I sent you was my eight version. It’s easy when you can try over, but live you have to take it the way it comes.
Lessa: (I have this fangirl gene that seems to appear out of no where. *L*)
Sihaya: I know what you mean xD
Adrien-Luc: (Ack, don’t say the F-word!)
Sihaya: Fangiiiiirl
Sihaya: Fanboys are worse, though, in my experience
Lessa: Fangirl?
Lessa: I just get squeely and awestruck. *L*
Sihaya: and blushing
Sihaya: and shaky xD But that’s all over now xD
Lessa: I live in a tiny town in alaska.. stardom (even d-rated big brother ’stars’) is a big deal here. *L*
Sihaya: Where in Alaska? ![]()
Lessa: I do the blushing/shaking too. And taht’s just meeting new people. *L*
Lessa: Southcentral Alaska - i’m a 3 hour drive south of anchorage
Lessa: Kenai Peninsula
Lessa: where the big King Salmon are
Sihaya: Don’t know anyone there =)
Lessa: Now ya do. *L*
Sihaya: I know someone in Alaska though, but I can’t remember where exactly…
Sihaya: =D
Lessa: Hahaha! Usually people go “Hey! I know a guy there (gives name) do ya know him?)
Sihaya: I’m not very shy, but I do get nervous when I’m meeting someone who’s ‘above’ me, like for job interviews or teacher training (thank god I never have to do teacher training again >_< )
Lessa: Like I know everyone who lives up here in this state that's 3 times the size of Texas.
Sihaya: Well, most people don't even know where my country is, so...
Lessa: Where ya at?
Sihaya: Belgium
Lessa: (so I can pretend to know)
Sihaya: Where the best chocolate comes from =D
Lessa: Oh. Hell, don't even have to pretend. it's *gestures* over there.
Sihaya: ^^
Lessa: yes indeedy! *L*
Sihaya: How cold does it get in Alaska,
Sihaya: *?
Lessa: Depends on where you are. Up where my late husband worked it would get to -49.999999 (because they couldn't work if it was -50 or below. ha!)
Lessa: Round here, in January/February we usually get a couple weeks of -30 or so
Sihaya: *shivers*
Lessa: in 88 we had a "Deep Freeze" and had two weeks of -60. During that time I worked the drive thru window at McDonalds. BRRR.
Sihaya: With my weight and body type I would have to wear like 5 sweaters all the time xD
Lessa: I've plenty of extra padding to spare, unfortunately. *L*
Lessa: My BFF is a skinny minny though. She won't even visit up here in the summertime. Chicken.
Adrien-Luc: Hey, guys, I'm going to log out as I've got some stuff to do, so anything after this won't appear in the chat log. But thanks a lot for showing up, and for the encouragement. See everyone tomorrow, ne?
Sihaya: Send some my way >_> My BMI says malnourished xD
FP73. Your message was truncated for being longer than allowed by the administrator.
Adrien-Luc: …I think it ate half my message.
Sihaya: I should be smart and go to bed anyway
Sihaya: it was lovely talking to you =)
Adrien-Luc: You should! This train-wreck was over an hour ago.
Lessa: Later, Adri! Take it easy and cograts on doing so well!
Sihaya: Sweet dreams, and see you tomorrow (k)
Adrien-Luc: It was good talking to you too, hon. Both of you.
Lessa: And you as well Sihaya. I’m off to the store. Be good!
Lessa: (or good at it.)
Adrien-Luc: ~dies~
Sihaya: Lurk less ![]()
Lessa: *wiggles brows* Gotta leave em laughing.
Sihaya: *hugs everyone*
Adrien-Luc: ‘night, everyone.
Lessa: I’ll try! *L*
Lessa: Night!

A few? =P
December 16th, 2007 at 7:45 pm
…all death threats can be blamed soley on Hikaru.
December 16th, 2007 at 7:56 pm
Hey. Shut up. xD
December 16th, 2007 at 9:57 pm
At the risk of you not replying to me again, I’ll have to reinstate once more that everytime I come out (…hahaahha…) of lurk mode, you make me adore you just a little more. (grin) I confess to having a bit of a blog crush. I’d seek help for the condition, but I don’t want too.
You did not sound like a Jewish grandmother - not near enough Yiddish. Not a single vaclempt, even.
You done good, kiddo. Congrats! I shall try and make the actual live part when you do it again, promise!
December 16th, 2007 at 9:58 pm
(oh, to explain the not replying part -last time I confessed to the blog crush, Adri never replied. I think I made the poor boy blush. Tsk.)
December 17th, 2007 at 1:33 am
You likely did make me blush. If I never replied, though, I was likely having a fit of “too shy to know what to say”. I didn’t mean to ignore you.
December 17th, 2007 at 2:36 am
Hahah! I figured as much, Adri - I was just teasing ya. (grin)

That was marvelous. I hope that I can manage to tune in next time. I am really busy with school work though (finals start tomorrow — well technically today). I was cracking up like a maniac every thirty seconds, and my friends were giving me funny looks cause I was wearing headphones…
And it was really funny to listen to you say your name cause you pronounce it the same way that I say mine (nickname is short for Adrienne in my case, and it is a real French name as opposed to a fake French one…).
I think that that is enough rambling from me though… Again, lovely broadcast.
Adri
December 17th, 2007 at 7:26 am
~laughs~ Adrien-Luc is actually a real French name, kind of like Jean-Luc (Picard, anyone?). I just make fun of it because the closest I can claim to being even remotely French is the fact that I grew up near the French Quarter in New Orleans and can speak a few words of highly bastardized Cajun French/Creole/Acadian (not enough to understand those people who live up in the Atchafalaya Basin, though).
December 17th, 2007 at 4:27 pm
Ah, I know that it is actually a French name, but I was saying that I actually have a reason for having a French name basically… We may have been in the US for several generations, but my family is French.

Ahhh, haihai. Sorry for misunderstanding your meaning there.
