Ah, the irony.
Sometimes it's fun to look back at old IM conversations. I didn't even realize I had this saved, but, how oddly appropriate it is... Can you believe this was only from January 31? (If you can, you're doing better than I am. ^_^)
(14:58:02) SuiseiOtaku: If his brother didn't live in rural New York, I'd introduce you guys. You two would get along capitally.
(14:58:18) ConfusedLlama42: Oh yes?
(14:58:35) SuiseiOtaku: Well, you'd get along with both of them, actually ^_^
(14:59:06) SuiseiOtaku: They're both geeky without being creepy. And they bathe!
(14:59:14) ConfusedLlama42: Hey!
(14:59:19) ConfusedLlama42: ^_^
(15:00:05) SuiseiOtaku: If you feel like being randomly social, Matt is LordStraxin and his brother Jake is SirTelarius.
(15:00:53) ConfusedLlama42: Eek... I'm not much for the randomly social with people I've never met. This is where some of my interpersonal issues arise.
(15:01:15) SuiseiOtaku: Even if pre-screened as cool and your type of person?
(15:02:35) ConfusedLlama42: Yes, largely because I worry that their reaction will be 'who the hell is this person and why is she talking to me?' - much as my own reaction would be if someone randomly IMed me out of the blue, as my friend Sabena can tell you. >_< She made the mistake of IMing me without telling me her screenname first and I was a touch rude until I realized who it was.
(15:03:34) SuiseiOtaku: You are rather silly in that respect. If he wants to IM you, will you let him?
(15:04:14) ConfusedLlama42: It's an aftereffect of all that 'my dad works in the tech industry, I've had internet privacy drilled into me since there was such thing as an internet'.
(15:04:39) ConfusedLlama42: But yes, since you've told me who they are I'll recognize the name. That's no problem.
(15:05:50) SuiseiOtaku: Okay. I just like proving to cool people that cool people can be found everywhere ^_^
