We just got the computer up and running and re-installed everything. Since Lola installed Trillian I decided to finally register with Yahoo, AIM, and MSN since it runs them all at the same time.

AIM: Feynnn (Only because I couldn’t remember my old password)

MSN: Feynn

Yahoo: Feynn

I really am the only Feynn there is.

My ICQ # is 13225595

Just don’t be ringing me up to talk dirty, mind you… I am always happy to talk about just about anything else.

Ah, thanks for the clarification, **nightshadea**. . .

Well, since this thread was begun, two people have IMd me, so they’re added to my list.

You like me, you really like me! 😛

Oh yes… I forgot about my ICQ and MSN. :smack: That, or I was trying to abide by the “AIM and Yahoo” precedent set by **dantheman** and **Kaotic Newtral**. I didn’t want to be the one to rock the boat, you see. But now it’s been broached…

ICQ: 130187524  
MSN: Nina Molly Fraser (I get on this quite rarely, but there’s always a chance at the weekends when I’m at my brother’s)

As has been said before, _please_ state you’re from the SDMB, and what your nickname on here is. Don’t you be messaging me to talk dirty, either, as that’s definitely not my style. I get enough weird random messages (on ICQ, at least) as it is. Thanks.

Since there are so many dopers on AIM maybe we could set up a night where we could open up a private room and have a “dopers only” chat? I think I’ve read that there used to be one though I’m not sure. Anyway what do you guys think?

I’m always on and I am just about always willing to talk thanks to the joys of being unemployed.

I wanna add my MSN name too!

It’s Beautiful but Empty ([itallfizzestothetop@hotmail.com](mailto:itallfizzestothetop@hotmail.com))

Is it also appropriate to beg for messages? I’m bored most of the time and really need new people to talk to but I’m much to shy to message someone else first.

Come on people, talk to me. I promise not to be that boring!

Notice a trend…? Seriously though, anybody feel free to IM me if you’re interested in talking. I don’t know many who might be, but I still have hope. That means you too **iampunha**! Where’ve you been man?

AIM: **jaba494** (This is my primary name, it does not preclude the existence of other names.)

I hardly think that’s the case. But if I get any weird dirty messages, I’ll know who to blame.
