posts and cars and logs and pics

[same_sky]

Statistically speaking, I am least likely to post on Friday nights. This somehow makes it both less and more important that I write something down on Friday nights. More important because one must overcome one's faults; less because hell, I'm already skipping a bunch of them, why not one more?

It's tough to be me.

M has a hilarious story about a conversation he recently heard, and I have been begging him to post about it for weeks. Maybe if I nag him about it via LJ, it will stick. Then we were at WalMart tonight and I took a photo (handy phone!) of him with another thing he wishes to post about. As a matter of fact, I am constantly saying things like, "You should post about that." and then he doesn't. Yesterday I wanted him to post a few paragraphs of his book, because it is funny and it stands alone. So maybe if I whine, it will help.

I skimmed through our ICQ log from 98-99 tonight. I stopped saving it after that, apparently. Anyway, we mainly used it as a backup.. when our primary method of communications were down, we used it to occasionally talk and/or schedule backup locations to talk.. or to alert the other that we were online. ("User is online.") I found this, and thought I'd post it, because it really is pretty funny. Pardon the lazy method of formatting, but I can't be bothered to fix it otherwise.

Yancey     7/10/99  11:09 AM actually just on to tell you i'll be here
                                  late.

Kadi       7/10/99  11:09 AM awww, why?

Yancey     7/10/99  11:09 AM my dear mother tricked me. *mumble*

Kadi       7/10/99  11:09 AM she tricked you?

Yancey     7/10/99  11:09 AM actually it was kinda neat. *giggle*

Kadi       7/10/99  11:10 AM *listen*

Yancey     7/10/99  11:10 AM yeah. i was shopping, and i met her.

Kadi       7/10/99  11:10 AM nod

Yancey     7/10/99  11:10 AM and she was, as usual, trying to persuade me
                                  to come over there to have dinner.

Kadi       7/10/99  11:10 AM of course.

Yancey     7/10/99  11:10 AM and i was all squirmy and trying to get out of
                                  it, and after a while she seemed to have given
                                  up.

Yancey     7/10/99  11:11 AM anyway, she was done shopping before i was,
                                  and she asked me if she could borrow my
                                  sunglasses that i always keep in the car.

Yancey     7/10/99  11:11 AM so she borrowed my car keys.

Kadi       7/10/99  11:12 AM so you couldn't.. get home?

Yancey     7/10/99  11:12 AM nope. but when i got down there, HER car was
                                  where my car had been. keys in the ignition,
                                  with a little note saying:
                                  See you at dinner.
                                  /Mom

Yancey     7/10/99  11:13 AM she stole my car dammit!

M just pointed out that it sounded like her especially because she really liked his car. Click the link; this is the car I've mentioned before. It suited him more than I've ever seen a car suit anyone, and I felt worse about him selling the car than I did about him selling the house. (Not as bad as I ended up feeling over him quitting the job, but that's a zillion other posts!) Someday, we shall buy him another one. A better one! One with air conditioning. Because he doesn't live in the frozen wasteland anymore.

p.s. did i get bonus points for posting the picture, love? :)

That is a STUNNING car.

If G had had that car, he would have made me move to Sweden rather than sell it and move over here. Seriously.
