So then...I finally broke down and got MSN Messenger. I hate to say this after almost nine years of using AIM, but...I think I like it better.
If anyone wants to give me a shout, my MSN username is the stunningly obvious chibi_trillian(at)hotmail(dot)com. genuinelie, if this thing does not speak blasphemous lies, I ought to be able to use it to talk to you too. ^_^
