[11:37] spies8stephanie: hey jenny
[11:37] spies8jenny: Hey there Stephykins!
[11:38] spies8stephanie: i can't wait for the game to begin
[11:38] spies8stephanie: i haven't seen anyone else online, have you?
[11:38] spies8jenny: I know, it's going to be exciting!
[11:39] spies8jenny: Brodericky is on right now
[11:39] spies8jenny: I guess I should say broderick.
[11:39] spies8jenny: But Brodericky sounds nicer.
[11:40] spies8stephanie:
[11:40] spies8jenny: Nobody else yet though.
[11:41] spies8stephanie: 30 people is a lot to get to know
[11:41] spies8stephanie: even 15 is a lot
[11:42] spies8jenny: 29 really.
[11:42] spies8stephanie: so i was hoping to start early
[11:42] spies8jenny: You don't need to get to know yourself!
[11:42] spies8stephanie: hehe i guess that's true
[11:43] spies8jenny: Unless you're one of those indian hippie people on a dream quest.
[11:44] spies8jenny: Then I guess it would be 30.
[11:44] spies8stephanie: well, since i'm neither an indian nor a hippie, i guess i'll go with 29
[11:45] spies8jenny: So what did you do before the great revolt? I was a court stenographer. I'm hoping to use those skills for when we're all in a group together to keep track of things.
[11:45] spies8stephanie: exterminator
[11:46] spies8stephanie: killing pests
[11:46] spies8jenny: Like little brothers?
[11:46] spies8stephanie: i guess those skills might be useful now in a weird way
[11:46] spies8stephanie: mostly roaches, ants, mice, rats
[11:46] spies8jenny: Just don't exterminate me please. (lol)
[11:47] spies8stephanie: hehe just don't become a pest and you'll be ok
[11:49] spies8jenny: I remember one time at stenographer camp, we were having to practice our shorthand by having this really fast talker come in and say a lot of things for us. Well part way through, he sees this giant bat that flew in and started screaming over it. We have about 43 official records of him screaming like a little girl over a bat now!
[11:50] spies8stephanie: **spitting coffee**
[11:50] spies8stephanie: stenographer camp?!? bats?>!?
[11:50] spies8stephanie: that's too funny

[11:36] spies8jenny: Hello there Brodericky!
[11:36] spies8broderick: Hi there!
[11:38] spies8jenny: I just got here a few minutes ago myself. I wonder what everyone will be like.
[11:40] spies8broderick: I wonder that too. I am adding the names to my aim and looks like an interesting bunch.
[11:41] spies8jenny: I just finished that myself a few minutes ago.
[11:43] spies8broderick: I also wonder how you pronounce some of these names!
[11:43] spies8jenny: As best as you can of course!
[11:43] spies8jenny:
[11:45] spies8jenny: So what did you do before the great revolt? I was a court stenographer. I'm hoping to use those skills for when we're all in a group together to keep track of things.
[11:45] spies8broderick: Well of course! But always awkward when you mispronounce a name!
[11:53] spies8broderick: Sorry. I did not see that message. i own a restaurant.

[16:05] spies8jenny: Hi there ni-ni!
[16:06] spies8nita: Hey you talkin to me?
[16:06] spies8jenny: I hope so if I'm using this window.
[16:07] spies8nita: I been called lots of things but never ni ni! Just making sure.
[16:07] spies8nita: What's up?
[16:07] spies8jenny: Not very much, still meeting everybody.
[16:13] spies8nita: So you excited for the game?
[16:14] spies8jenny: Lots of nice people so far!
[16:15] spies8nita: Got any favorites?
[16:16] spies8jenny: I dunno, I'm still meeting everyone.
[16:21] spies8nita: My favorite so far is Mary
[16:21] spies8nita: She's loca but fun
[16:21] spies8jenny: I didn't get to meet her yet

Maybe she'll be on soon.
[16:22] spies8nita: Maybe tonight at the live event, who knows?
[16:23] spies8jenny: I would think so anyways.
[16:23] spies8nita: So what's your story? Where are you from?
[16:23] spies8jenny: Well before that whole great revolt thing, I was a courtroom stenographer. Should be helpful for when we're in groups together.
[16:25] spies8nita: Could be useful!
[16:25] spies8jenny: How about you?
[16:26] spies8nita: I'm from upstate New York, Hispanic family, married my high school sweetie, work as a marketer now
[16:27] spies8nita: And I gotta go so we'll talk later, yes?
[16:27] spies8jenny: Awww, that's sweet!
[16:27] spies8jenny: See you soon ni-ni!
[16:27] spies8nita: Adios

[Jenny]

16:12] spies8jenny: Hi there Tina!
[16:13] spies8tina: Hello.
[16:20] spies8jenny: How are you doing?
[16:21] spies8tina: Ok, just on break right now so am trying to learn AIM and that board thing.
[16:21] spies8jenny: Oh yeah, I've been bouncing around too today.
[16:22] spies8tina: Never have done this on either. I get that feeling that almost everyone else has.
[16:22] spies8jenny: That's ok, everyone is going to be going crazy for the first few days, so you won't be alone!

[16:07] spies8jenny: Hi there Jas!
[16:07] spies8jasmine: Hey Jenny!
[16:08] spies8jasmine: How are you?
[16:08] spies8jenny: Still meeting everyone myself, you?
[16:09] spies8jasmine: Same! I'm just adding everyone now.
[16:09] spies8jasmine: lol
[16:09] spies8jasmine: How are you liking it all so far?
[16:09] spies8jenny: I'm having fun! Met some nice people so far.
[16:10] spies8jasmine: Same! They are all so spunky! It's awesome.
[16:12] spies8jenny: So what did you do before the great revolt? I was a court stenographer. That will probably come in handy when we're all in groups later.
[16:13] spies8jasmine: What is that?
[16:13] spies8jasmine: court huh?
[16:13] spies8jenny: I'm the one that would sit in court typing in shorthand what everyone is saying.
[16:13] spies8jasmine: oh.
[16:13] spies8jasmine: why would that come in handy?
[16:14] spies8jenny: Well I have practice having to deal with several people shouting at each other at once in court. Won't be much different then when we're all shouting at each other in the public rooms.
[16:14] spies8jasmine: Oh okay! Awesome gurl!! *clears throat* Sound be the shit then!
[16:14] spies8jasmine: i'm a business student. I don't do much else. I have a part time job
[16:14] spies8jasmine: but nothing lasts..
[16:14] spies8jasmine: lol.
[16:15] spies8jenny: Well at least being in congress should be a cool change.
[16:15] spies8jenny: We'll get paid to argue about things, how easy is that?
[16:15] spies8jasmine: Thats true! So, you like to argue?
[16:15] spies8jenny: I can if I need to, although I'd prefer just getting along with people.
[16:16] spies8jenny: But if we're getting paid to do it? Sure, I can raise a storm about someone's hair or something.
[16:16] spies8jenny:
[16:16] spies8jasmine: Same gurl! How's my hairr doing?
[16:17] spies8jenny: I like it, it's pretty! And your name reminds me of my favorite disney princess!
[16:18] spies8jasmine: Aww!! She is awesome! That is one of the reasons I chose it! Just an awesome name.
[16:18] spies8jenny: And having a tiger has benefits too.
[16:19] spies8jasmine: Yea, sick him on people. I should get one.
[16:19] spies8jenny: Well I was thinking of a comfy place to rest too, but biting mean prince's butt's would be good fun!
[16:21] spies8jasmine: Yea! I agree. Esp if they were hot princes.
[16:24] spies8jenny: And then laughing while they ran off in their boxers.
[16:25] spies8jasmine: :-P. You've imagined this
[16:25] spies8jasmine: I like it though
[16:25] spies8jasmine: lol

[Jenny]

[17:21] spies8jenny: Hi there Gerty!
[17:21] spies8gertrude: Why hello!
[17:21] spies8gertrude: You're quick!
[17:21] spies8jenny:
[17:22] spies8gertrude: Forgive me, I haven't exactly read everything I need to so far
[17:22] spies8gertrude: So I'll be a bit preoccupied for a bit. However, I can introduce myself if you'd like!
[17:22] spies8jenny: Sure!
[17:23] spies8gertrude: Fantastic! Well, my name is Gertrude Douglass. I'm 28, and I grew up in upstate New York
[17:23] spies8gertrude: I'm currently a high school English teacher.
[17:24] spies8gertrude: However, since school is out for the summer, I only have a summer school class, where unfortunately, the kids don't grasp the essence of literature.
[17:24] spies8gertrude: How about yourself?
[17:24] spies8jenny: That is likely why they are in your class now in the first place.
[17:24] spies8gertrude: Exactly.
[17:24] spies8gertrude: It's a shame.
[17:25] spies8jenny: Well I'm Jenny, I'm 27, and I was a court stenographer before getting into this whole congress thing. So that should be helpful for when we're in groups.
[17:26] spies8gertrude: Ooh, fantastic!
[17:29] spies8gertrude: Did you enjoy it?
[17:29] spies8jenny: It was certainly... interesting.
[17:30] spies8jenny: Child molesters, child custody, spilled blood, spilled coffee, and just about every way you can define the phrase "hate crime"

[16:32] spies8jenny: There's apparently smoke upstairs.
[16:33] spies8allan: i'm sure we will talk more later
[16:33] spies8jenny: From an upstairs apartment.
[16:33] spies8jenny: That sounds like disaster waiting to happen.
