all-encompassingly

instant message history #1: random questions

i've just came upon a CD where i archived some old IM conversations. i honestly don't know why i saved them at the time, but now my blog will reap the benefits! (or not, depending on how much these turn out to suck.) this first one is from 9 june 2002. melissa was trying to get me to guess who she saw that day, and i couldn't have cared less, apparently:

Melissa: ok, I will just tell you
travis: okay tell me
Melissa: I met Chris ______'s parents--they moved into my neighborhood.
travis: oh great
- - - -
travis: congratulations
- - - -
travis: i'm so happy
- - - -
Melissa: apparently you did not like the "Guess who I met today" game
Melissa: I did not talk to them for very long, but his dad just came right up to me and said "you must be Melissa, how are you!"
travis: was his speech slurred?
Melissa: not that I noticed, why?
travis: i don't know, it just sounded like a funny thing to inquire about,
travis: like, its so random, ya know?
Melissa: yes, I know
travis: did he have club feet?
Melissa: well, it is like this...
Melissa: my mom helped them find a place to live
travis: did he have ears like an elf?
