AIM Fight!

I've decided to give instant messaging another shot. it's the only internet technology i haven't adopted and loved. in fact i hate it. how much?

my AIM name is: balzerhatesyou

i'm thinking about picking it up again. why? i have absolutely no idea. but i don't go for that AOL bloatware shit. what's the hip, trim, OS X- compatible messenger of choice nowadays? skype? is that what i should use? skype? is iChat cool enough or no?

that AIM once again is: balzerhatesyou

i'll likely never sign on again. (sound of door closing, witty away message pops up: "Fuck off, loser. I really do hate you.")

EDIT: yeah, i'm still awake. 36 hours? more? i don't know. anyway, you wouldn't believe the fits the words "messenger" and "message" gave me during the writing of this post. i couldn't for the life of me figure out why there's an "N" in the action-noun-ish version, but none in the simple-nounish version. also, i forgot what certain core articles of speech are, and bear in mind i am at work. right now. being paid to do something that quite likely requires that skill.
