A Thread for Estela

what kind of music do you like?

estela do you use any kind of instant messenger? if so, let's chat. i'm feeling garrulous.

i would like that, but i have never imed in my life so i don't have it set up.

go to http://www.meebo.com/ and sign up. just give them fake info, and you can be chatting in under a minute. you don't even have to verify your account via email. i just created an account on meebo, and it took less than a minute, no exaggeration. do it!

i have to run out now for about an hour, i can do it when i get back if it's not too late for you, let me know.

i'll probably be in bed by then, but i'll post here if i do go to bed before you get back.

okay, sorry, i have to walk my dog and go to the store and it keeps getting later and later.

i picked out my hike, and now i'm going to bed. oh well.

i am here again but i still have to do stuff, so goodnight! i'll go ahead and sign up so that next time i'm ready to go.

jergins, i never answered your music question, is it from before the break? i will get on to it, though it is a bit of a difficult question for me, i think i have never given a satisfactory answer to this in my life.

i like a lot of different things, but i lean most towards the melancholic and the spare. i don't like clutter much, not in music, buildings, clothes, food, writing. i'm not stubbornly minimalist, everything doesn't have to be a white room and a black piano and a grey sky, but i like things that seem simple and true. but then sometimes simple and truthful can be found in things that sound bold and a bit messy. sorry this is such a dumb and embarrassing answer but i never know how to answer this question, i have trouble with it even when it is only me asking myself and there is nothing to defend or explain.

thank you, that is a wonderful answer.

i think so too

thank you, now i don't feel so foolish.

we love minimalism. it's a mantra and the magic word

estela, i'm "different" than those two because i don't LOVE minimalism. maybe i love it sometimes, but not ALL the time. but then that's kind of exactly what you said. but i do think your answer was great and not embarrassing.

hey estela did you dl an instant messenger program? if so, log on so we can chat.

only creeps IM

that's not true

you're right, that's not true

i haven't yet lingbert, but i will. i have to finish a big batch of work first though, i am way behind, and it's made me behind on everything else. next week will be better.

what topics of conversation are you readying, lingbert?

i haven't readied anything. i fear i'm going to be so unprepared when it happens.

i have very high standards.

that's not true

should i use a different name for this, what is the protocol, can you help a duffer.

use whatever name you want! mine is completely different than lingbert.

if the IM name you want is taken you could go with ESTELA_AU_ROOLS
i bet that one's not taken

ok, i have got a new tragic name, thanks everyone for your loving assistance, and set up a meebo account, but now it wants me to select my im account, of which i don't have one. should i pick yahoo, which i have an email acct for? or will i have to do even more than sign in there. or is there a better way. less than a minute my foot.

<3:)aw

when it asks you to choose an im account, just hit skip! i just created yet another account to test this out. when I started, it was 10:00. when i finished, it was 10:01.

then when it asks you to invite friends from your other account, hit cancel. you're done

i am trying this right now.

ok, what do i do now?

in the window for your buddy list, there are 4 icons at the top. the one on the right is to start or join a chat group. click on that and then type in the name: estelol

for the chat room and hit join. that is where i am

sigh, maybe i have misunderstood meebo. i guess you have to sign on through one of the im services. if you already have yahoo, use that. i'm sorry for the confusion.

lingbert,
i keep fucking it up and now i have to go and pick up my dog. i will get back on this thread when i get back (in about an hour) and if you're still here i'll try again.
sorry, i'm sincerely trying to do this.
i do have a yahoo account (for ilx) so i'll try signing onto messenger when i get back.
