I have AIM now, and I'm only slightly afraid to use it!

Well, okay. Maybe a bit more afraid than that. Point is, I may wander around my flist grabbing people to fill up my sadly empty buddy list, and then. Um. I get stuck at that bit, because I am not used to my fannish interactions being in real time.

What if I can't think of anything witty to say on the spot, I worry, and then everyone will realize they don't really like me after all!

To which I reply, Don't worry about that. Most of the time you can't think of anything witty to say after five hours of thinking and a good night's sleep, and then I feel better. Only not.

So, yes. I kind of wish I had joined up before, if only so that I could have a better screen name. After trying about fifty other things, I'm signed up as flightykaren.

AIM! so stressful! After you have both said hello, what do you say next!? Except uh, I made a stunning entrance to the world of instant messaging where I lost my chat box and couldn't find it again for twenty minutes and they had to send out the dogs. So don't worry! There's always uh. Someone more incompetent!

Yeah, IM is stressful and addicting and generally of the devil. *g*

But I'm almost always up for being accosted. Caia512, and there's also folks with LAMER SCREEN NAMES.

(Also. How goes the Brainy/Kara?)
