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? :o
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 :P
Lessa: *wiggles brows* Gotta leave em laughing.
Sihaya: *hugs everyone*
Adrien-Luc: ‘night, everyone.
Lessa: I’ll try! *L*
Lessa: Night!

    A few? =P

  2. Adrien-Luc Sanders Says:

    …all death threats can be blamed soley on Hikaru.

  3. Kujo Hikaru Says:

    Hey. Shut up. xD

  4. Lessa Says:

    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!

  5. Lessa Says:

    (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.)

  6. Adrien-Luc Sanders Says:

    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.

  7. Lessa Says:

    Hahah! I figured as much, Adri - I was just teasing ya. (grin)

  9. Adri S. Says:

    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

  10. Adrien-Luc Sanders Says:

    ~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).

  11. Adri S. Says:

    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.

    Adri

  12. Adrien-Luc Sanders Says:

    Ahhh, haihai. Sorry for misunderstanding your meaning there.
