Smeghead, you are dependably delightful! šŸ˜‰ Youā€™re welcome, Dobbinaire! I tried FCM, but she was invisible at the time. And now AIM wonā€™t give me my buddy list and tells me Iā€™ve blocked the world. Like I would! _sob_ ---

I am **MissETicket** on AIM and my ICQ is **133814413**. I think I might even get the MSN Messenger, but I can barely keep up with IM and ICQ, so it might not be for a while. ---

Well, I would have liked to have one the same as my doper name, but it was taken. So, Iā€™m **AXPAuction**. Iā€™m always on, so feel free to IM me a lot. (on a side note, have you noticed that the people who took the SN you wanted are NEVER online? That annoys me to such a big degree.) ---

Erlidh, for reasons that will become apparent (but only if you want them to) if and/or when you IM me. I am on fairly regularly (such as now, when I should be finishing my English paper), but I also have away messages up fairly regularly. If you IM me this morning I will make you read periodical updates of my English paper. It is dry and high-quality bullshit. I am very proud of it. I have four pages left. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Ellen \* > \*\*ā€¦ I tried FCM, but she was invisible at the time. \*\* I wasnā€™t on line very much last night, tho I did have ICQ up for a while. I couldnā€™t get AIM to load, and only one person chats with me on Yahoo, so I donā€™t open that unless Iā€™ve scheduled a chat. I prefer ICQ - itā€™s nice to be able to leave messages for someone whoā€™s offline. Oh yeah - my name on ICQ is michelle - mebbe no one here connects that with me.
