agilebritI put it to you, flist: Do lonely men (or women) IM you out of the blue and attempt to be "charming"?
longingformore: Hello dear lady... are you currently chatting with someone charming, or can I be hopeful you will chat with me?
babiesstolemydingo: I'm married.
babiesstolemydingo: Who are you.
longingformore: I am married too... and I am Dave from the beautiful state of Oregon
longingformore: home sick today and lonesome
babiesstolemydingo: And you picked me out of the vast sea of people out there because...?
longingformore: I was trying to think of something clever to respond to regarding your name
longingformore: something like... hey, send those dingos over to my house... I have a teenager they can take
babiesstolemydingo: *snerk*
longingformore: I am too slow witted
longingformore: lol
longingformore: at least I got a .... snerk?
longingformore: is that english
babiesstolemydingo: If you say it out loud with a kind of snort, you'll get the idea.
longingformore: lol... with my hoarse voice, that really sounded bad
babiesstolemydingo: The name comes from a fake anti-sniping rant on the eBay Bidding Board, and then I found out that it has an obscure Buffy the Vampire Slayer reference, so I started using it as a pen name when writing.
longingformore: sounded more like a bullfrog
longingformore: it is cute
babiesstolemydingo: You a Buffy fan?
longingformore: of course my nicname is probably a bit more telling
longingformore: isnt everyone a Buffy fan?
babiesstolemydingo: No.
babiesstolemydingo: I'm actually more of an Angel fan, specifically a Spike fan.
longingformore: ah... because he is hot
babiesstolemydingo: No...
babiesstolemydingo: Because he is complex.
babiesstolemydingo: I like Wesley for the same reason.
babiesstolemydingo: And Lorne.
babiesstolemydingo:
longingformore: Well, Sarah is cute... but fearless... that is why I like her
babiesstolemydingo: And, see, Buffy herself never did much for me. Especially in S6.
babiesstolemydingo: But I blame the writers for that.
longingformore: she is at the mercy of the writers
longingformore: so... where are you today...home or work?
babiesstolemydingo: Marti Noxon admitted that she was using the characters to deal with her own issues. Dude, that's SO not your job.
babiesstolemydingo: Home. Always.
babiesstolemydingo: But I'm "working," as well.
longingformore: I am home sick
longingformore:
babiesstolemydingo: Sorry about that.
longingformore: normally I work pushing stacks of papers around a desk and attending lots of meetings
longingformore: before this I was in the navy for 24 yrs
babiesstolemydingo: I'm a stay at home mom trying to launch a writing career.
longingformore: wow... and I can save this conversation and brag about "Iknew her when"
babiesstolemydingo: I just stuck a "the end" at the bottom of a story I've been working on for a month, last night. And I still like what I wrote in the cold light of morning, so that's something.
longingformore: I used to write quite a bit in the navy... kept a journal
longingformore: all those lonely nights at sea under a canopy of stars can get the creative juices flowing
babiesstolemydingo: I'll bet.
longingformore: you could say that I became an accomplished dreamer
babiesstolemydingo: I cut my writerly teeth on fanfiction and just started branching out into original fiction last year.
longingformore: and it isnt always fresh milk that sailors dream about
longingformore:
babiesstolemydingo:
longingformore: lol... what is that look?
babiesstolemydingo: I'm just not sure what you're hoping to get out of this conversation. I'm married, and serious about it. You're married, but "longing for more"? Don't look to me for the more, because you won't find it here.
longingformore: You are a bit too abrupt for me... I don't think I deserved that
babiesstolemydingo: Just putting my cards on the table, dude.
longingformore: I will fold then... you are too crude for me
babiesstolemydingo: *shrug*
I wish I'd had the presence of mind when he made the "fresh milk" remark to say this:
*Tempie Brennan voice* I don't know what that means.
Because I don't. But it sounds like someone trying be cute, and it sounds like a come-on...especially with the accompanying emoticon. Which I am SO not open to.
But seriously, what the hell am I supposed to think? Am I interrogating his screenname from the wrong perspective? Did I jump to a wrong conclusion? And am I wrong to be laughing my ass off that he got offended at me?
I don't mind chatting with random strangers, as long as they're not trying to scam me or have IM sex with me. But I also think it's a good idea to nip something like that in the bud before it starts.
So, whatever, dude. Don't let the door hit you on the butt on your way out.
