What this forum is truly capable of (an excerpt from last night's chat)

[Nucky]

This is to show people what we're truly capable of, even when times are very tense.

[21:47:39] @ melodiccolor : One of the mysteries of the online universe
[21:47:43] SimplyNan : Oh, we are already warped and that warps the time, right?
[21:47:49] @ Justin Passing : Well Nan, if the times are correct, then I'm seeing messages before they happen. That's not supposed to happen unless you're travelling above the speed of light
[21:47:50] @ nuckinfutz : yep
[21:48:00] @ melodiccolor : good a theory as any
[21:48:21] @ Justin Passing : HSPs vs Physics, and we're winning
[21:48:31] SimplyNan : yep, my mind, the speed of light, awesome!!
[21:48:48] @ melodiccolor : Thanks for pointing that out Justin, it is happening that way
[21:49:00] SimplyNan : nah, we've already won
[21:49:08] @ Justin Passing : do we get a prize?
[21:49:14] @ melodiccolor : long time ago
[21:49:28] SimplyNan : what else can we warp now??
[21:49:31] @ Justin Passing : I can has cookie?
[21:49:49] SimplyNan : don't need no prize, we've got each other!!
[21:49:51] @ Justin Passing : brb
[21:50:09] SimplyNan : cookie, what about the sombreros?
[21:50:11] @ melodiccolor : Nicely warped and all
[21:50:28] SimplyNan : warped and wrapped, coolness!
[21:50:42] @ melodiccolor : mmmmm
[21:51:21] @ Justin Passing : Well, I'd like a cookie with my sombrero
[21:51:28] SimplyNan : does "brb" mean bathroom break? or is it a foregin language?
[21:51:32] @ Justin Passing : brb = be right back
[21:51:47] @ melodiccolor : means be right back
[21:51:51] @ Justin Passing : sorry Nan - netspeak strikes again
[21:52:06] SimplyNan : good to know, I thought he was gasping or something
[21:52:13] @ melodiccolor : that was fast justin
[21:52:41] @ Justin Passing : fast justin - now there's a concept
[21:53:00] @ Justin Passing : I'm the tortise personified
[21:53:18] @ Justin Passing : a good cookie?
[21:53:21] SimplyNan : what kind of cookie are we talking about here?
[21:53:31] @ Justin Passing : danm - there goes that time warp again
[21:53:50] @ melodiccolor : any kind you want
[21:54:04] SimplyNan : yeah, it's our minds, warping space once more
[21:54:13] @ Justin Passing : and it's still just a jump to the left (LOL)
[21:54:23] SimplyNan : and we break thru the time/space compendium, or whatever it is
[21:54:40] SimplyNan : and where the heck are we now??
[21:54:42] @ melodiccolor : into scrambled communication
[21:54:51] @ Justin Passing : we're right where we've always been. Lost in space, lost in time
[21:54:59] SimplyNan : our brains on warped communication
[21:55:07] @ melodiccolor : Whatever it is I'm recording it
[21:55:31] SimplyNan : ooops, does this mean we need to be careful of what we say??
[21:55:38] @ Justin Passing : hope not. Careful is NOT my middle name
[21:55:45] @ melodiccolor : as it jumps to the left
[21:56:00] SimplyNan : a parallel universe on the left of something
[21:56:02] @ Justin Passing : and then a step to the right-ight-ight
[21:56:14] @ melodiccolor : nope, this is going into the bubble bath thread so the others can be jealous of what they missed
[21:56:19] SimplyNan : definitely not in the realm of "careful"
[21:56:40] @ melodiccolor : careful is boring
[21:56:44] @ melodiccolor : here the sun is still up
[21:56:46] SimplyNan : on a moonlit night
[21:56:52] @ Justin Passing : careful shmareful. We don't need no stinking careful!
[21:57:07] @ Justin Passing : nighttime here too. I love the night
[21:57:42] @ melodiccolor : time warp time warp, my post responding to nan's is time stamped before hers!!!
[21:57:42] @ Justin Passing : That's happening to me a lot Mel
[21:57:56] SimplyNan : not night yet, but in our parellel universe it is
[21:58:12] @ Justin Passing : Actually, the four of us are spread fairly evenly across the country. That's kind of cool
[21:58:19] @ melodiccolor : Or is it eternal twightlight?
[21:58:21] SimplyNan : we're all in this together, warping, warping
[21:58:39] @ melodiccolor : warbling and warping...
[21:58:47] SimplyNan : WARPED!!! in eternal twilight
[21:59:01] @ Justin Passing : Tolkien talks about eternal twilight. I always thought that was fascinating
[21:59:38] SimplyNan : Ooops we lost Nucky, quick turn around to retrieve him
[21:59:48] @ Justin Passing : He'll catch back on I expect. Nucky's quite adept
[21:59:49] @ melodiccolor : Well, somewhere on earth is a band of twightlight always
[22:00:08] @ melodiccolor : Did we warp so much he lost up?
[22:00:15] @ melodiccolor : us?
[22:00:25] @ Justin Passing : Well, it has been a bit of a ride. Fun though
[22:00:50] SimplyNan : flying fingers hit strange keys resulting in garbled sentences . . .
[22:01:01] @ Justin Passing : yeah - and this LITTLE entry box makes long sentences challenging
[22:01:05] SimplyNan : Fun, yes, I so needed this
[22:01:22] @ melodiccolor : Hey we were garbling without missed keystrokes
[22:01:23] @ Justin Passing : garble, garble, garble...
[22:02:03] SimplyNan : but we rise to the challenge, garbled, warped and all
[22:02:06] @ Justin Passing : Sure. We're Chaos Masters, after all
[22:02:08] @ melodiccolor : warble garble and jump to the left
[22:02:21] SimplyNan : is that turkey talk, Justin??
[22:02:29] @ melodiccolor : of course into warp
[22:02:37] @ Justin Passing : But don't forget the pelvic thrust, which truly drives you insane
[22:02:46] SimplyNan : a new dance, warble, garble and jump to the left
[22:03:02] @ melodiccolor : With sombreros
[22:03:03] @ Justin Passing : with sombreros - life's always better with sombreros
[22:03:04] SimplyNan : we've created a new dance and a new drink, we are great!!
[22:03:42] @ melodiccolor : 
[22:03:48] @ Justin Passing : great googly moogly
[22:03:59] SimplyNan : our new motto -- life is always better with sombreros
[22:04:06] Adain has joined the chat the Sat 2 Aug 2008 - 22:04
[22:04:15] @ Justin Passing : Oh boy - Adain's back!! Hooray!!
[22:04:16] @ melodiccolor : Perfect motto
[22:04:28] @ melodiccolor : welcome back.
[22:04:37] SimplyNan : Oh, yeah, with the pelvic thrust thrown in somewhere
[22:04:40] @ nuckinfutz : wb adain
[22:04:46] @ Justin Passing : A time warp sombrero with pelvic thrust(ers)
[22:04:55] SimplyNan : Okay, Adain, you task is to figure out what the heck we are talking about now
[22:05:02] @ Justin Passing : That sounds like Mission Impossible Nan
[22:05:10] Adain : justin, such enthusiasm
[22:05:11] @ melodiccolor : lol lol lol
[22:05:23] Adain : lol
[22:05:32] SimplyNan : Where's Blue, she would love that!!
[22:05:36] @ Justin Passing : Life called Blue away (sad). Bad life. Bad bad bad
[22:06:14] @ melodiccolor : I think we will need a few threads to fit this whole chat in, but Blue's gonna see this
[22:06:23] SimplyNan : we'll have to send her that one, a time warp sombrero with pelvic thrusters, got that Mel
[22:06:46] @ Justin Passing : we can surprise her, and have one delivered to her hotel room at that convention!
[22:07:15] SimplyNan : Adain, we have totally warped into an alternative universe
[22:07:29] Adain : you really have
[22:07:40] SimplyNan : Oooh, that would be so fiting, Justin, her and Scooter, what a vistual!!
[22:07:53] @ Justin Passing : Have to be careful though. Wouldn't want to embarass Blue in front of Scooter
[22:07:58] Adain : lol
[22:08:27] @ melodiccolor : I don't think we can
[22:08:34] SimplyNan : well, no, but maybe he's one of us and will understand
[22:08:59] @ melodiccolor : Or he isn't and he'll go insane trying
[22:09:36] SimplyNan : that's a very interesting concept, Mel, maybe we could try this on the pubic at large and see if they go insane
[22:09:43] @ Justin Passing : You know, I just thought of something. Since we all live in artificial "time zones", we don't truly share the same "time" at all. That's probably part of what's screwing up the continuity here
[22:09:53] @ melodiccolor : Oooohhhhh I love that idea
[22:09:57] SimplyNan : we'll just insist we are normal and they are not
[22:10:11] SimplyNan : most people will follow anyone who leads
[22:10:19] Adain : lol
[22:10:19] @ Justin Passing : That's quite true Nan. Want to play follow the leader?
[22:10:28] @ melodiccolor : which could actually be the truth! now that's mind boggling
[22:10:54] SimplyNan : our minds are boggled, warped and whatever
[22:10:57] @ Justin Passing : A boggled mind is a happy mind, as long as the sombreros don't run out
[22:10:58] @ melodiccolor : time warp time warp
[22:11:10] SimplyNan : no, not us, we don't follow, we lead
[22:11:32] @ Justin Passing : Certainly not. Can't forget the pelvic thrusts
[22:11:33] SimplyNan : and the pelvic thrusts, don't forget those, Justin
[22:11:52] @ melodiccolor : Let's see, follow the leader with 5 leaders and no followers complete with pelvic thrusts.
[22:11:59] @ Justin Passing : Sounds good to me Mel
[22:12:23] Adain : lol
[22:12:25] SimplyNan : absolutely, that is what we do, are we ready, commence action
[22:12:54] Adain : i'm crying
[22:13:00] Adain : i'm laughing so hard
[22:13:04] SimplyNan : okay, are we done yet?
[22:13:09] @ Justin Passing : Warning - this is the deep end of the pool
[22:13:15] @ melodiccolor : my post disappeared!
[22:13:17] SimplyNan : got all those pelvic thrusts in there
[22:13:21] @ melodiccolor : 2 of them
[22:13:41] SimplyNan : warbling, warping, drinking sombreros, pelvic thrust!!!
[22:13:46] @ Justin Passing : maybe you didn't send them hard enough Mel? they got swallowed up somewhere
[22:14:05] @ melodiccolor : and a step to the left and a
[22:14:15] @ melodiccolor : maybe
[22:14:18] @ Justin Passing : Put your hands on your hips, and draw your knees in tight!!!
[22:14:40] SimplyNan : wait, I can't see, gotta wipe the tears out of my eyes
[22:15:08] SimplyNan : I'm waving my hands in the air, I am blowing in the breeze
[22:15:16] @ Justin Passing : Ah yes - it's good to be alive and laughing again
[22:15:42] SimplyNan : 1 - 2 - 3 -- PELVIC THRUST!!
[22:15:53] @ Justin Passing : Insanity is painless, after all
[22:16:11] SimplyNan : And to be with others who we can do this with
[22:16:24] Adain : just choked on my coffee, nan
[22:16:28] @ Justin Passing : It's like being able to play in the mud again, after too many years of "real life"
[22:16:31] @ melodiccolor : 
[22:17:05] @ Justin Passing : we've got to inject more fun into this board. MORE FUN.
[22:17:18] @ Justin Passing : Mud Fight!!!
[22:17:23] SimplyNan : OH, yes, the mud in our parallel universe of chaos, SPLAT!
[22:17:37] @ melodiccolor : Absolutely
[22:17:52] SimplyNan : Mud fight, gotchya

[Nucky]

[22:18:02] @ Justin Passing : or just mud pies. Oh how I loved to play with mud pies
[22:18:07] @ melodiccolor : and mud angels
[22:18:18] @ Justin Passing : Mom's never like mud - but kids do
[22:18:29] Adain : i love mud pies
[22:18:40] @ nuckinfutz : I try to stay away from "real life" as much as possible
[22:18:42] SimplyNan : mud sombreros ......
[22:18:49] @ melodiccolor : I was weird, I would explore the mud for bugs and things
[22:19:00] @ Justin Passing : I just like to feel the mud squeeze through my fingers and toes
[22:19:03] SimplyNan : what passes as real life is an illusion
[22:19:06] @ melodiccolor : not sure about the mud sombreros though
[22:19:21] SimplyNan : this is reality, our reality, and we've created it
[22:19:39] @ melodiccolor : and what passes for illusion is creative reality
[22:19:47] @ Justin Passing : we always create our reality Nan. Question is - why do we make it so nasty?
[22:20:15] @ Justin Passing : And can we stop making it nasty? That's the big question
[22:20:48] SimplyNan : Whoops, I got warped out of here briefly
[22:21:02] @ melodiccolor : Danger, danger, seriousness!
[22:21:14] SimplyNan : Why nasty -- not sure but I do believe we can change
[22:21:16] @ Justin Passing : I believe that too Nan
[22:21:39] SimplyNan : we jump all over the place, it's who we are, not a problem
[22:21:44] @ Justin Passing : no - not a problem. Just hard to hang on sometimes
[22:22:06] SimplyNan : if we change ourselves, others will tend to follow
[22:22:07] @ Justin Passing : that's always been my hope. But others seem hesitant to follow
[22:22:31] @ Justin Passing : so I just keep going, hoping to meet others like you all
[22:22:38] SimplyNan : people are afraid of change but if we forge the way, show them it is safe, others will follow
[22:22:39] @ melodiccolor : Only others who are ready to, others of like mind
[22:23:01] SimplyNan : they will follow when they are ready, we can't put a timeframe on it
[22:23:16] @ Justin Passing : And that's fine. I was simply starting to think I'd never find anyone on this road
[22:23:21] SimplyNan : Justin, we have somehow found each other, to me, that is simply amazing
[22:23:41] SimplyNan : I have looked for you all for a long time
[22:23:42] @ Justin Passing : I've looked for you all all my life. All my life
[22:24:05] SimplyNan : Right, exactly. Now, how do we move forward from there?
[22:24:17] @ melodiccolor : My spirit connections lead me to all of you to one exent or the other
[22:24:22] @ melodiccolor : it was meant to be
[22:24:26] @ Justin Passing : How do we move forward from here? Same way we always have. By simply following the path with heart
[22:24:39] SimplyNan : yes, spirit is powerful and the time was right
[22:24:55] SimplyNan : with soul
[22:25:03] @ nuckinfutz : I have AlytheZig to thank for meeting all of you guys, she's busy now but hopefully she'll start participating in the fall
[22:25:10] @ Justin Passing : I'm convinced this is a rather magic time Nan. Lots of things that were harder in the past are easier now. We simply need to keep the faith
[22:25:12] @ nuckinfutz : she registered a little while ago
[22:25:26] @ nuckinfutz : she told me about AIMOO in the spring of 07
[22:25:38] SimplyNan : Now we can communicate with each other, we know we are not alone
[22:26:01] SimplyNan : There is a magical element to it, true.
[22:26:06] @ melodiccolor : No, we will never feel alone again
[22:26:08] @ Justin Passing : Not being alone is nicer than being alone. I like being alone, but not all the time. And being able to talk to others is SOOOO wonderful
[22:26:24] @ nuckinfutz : I'm clipping excerpts of this chat too. We need to post this in the public forum to show people how great we can be with each other.
[22:26:38] @ Justin Passing : Good deal Nucky
[22:26:47] Adain : good idea nucky
[22:26:49] @ melodiccolor : Yes, we do
[22:27:01] SimplyNan : when we are totally crazy, we are simply unwinding from the stress of trying to fit in the societal paradigm
[22:27:22] SimplyNan : be able to talk with kindred souls is wonderful
[22:27:37] @ Justin Passing : Now we have to become insane enough to become able to meet up with each other in the flesh
[22:27:42] SimplyNan : and I totally agree Nucky, go for it
[22:27:50] @ melodiccolor : No matter the medium
[22:28:10] @ Justin Passing : I'd love to learn how to teleport, or at least astral travel
[22:28:36] SimplyNan : someday, maybe but we know we about each other now
[22:28:57] @ melodiccolor : Or at least find the money to afford for all of us to meet in person
[22:29:08] Adain : dude I'd have to save
[22:29:19] SimplyNan : finding the money is the tricky part for sure
[22:29:27] @ melodiccolor : Maybe we can afford to to an online conference. not sure how to
[22:29:31] SimplyNan : we all have to save, Adain
[22:29:44] Adain : although you never know I might just be in the area, LOL
[22:29:47] @ melodiccolor : Big time save
[22:29:54] SimplyNan : but, if we plant the thought, it could very well happen
[22:30:10] SimplyNan : and in amazing ways in which we cannot even comprehend
[22:30:40] @ Justin Passing : I'm up for miracles. I've seen quite a few this year.
[22:30:45] @ melodiccolor : If it's okay with you guys, I
[22:30:59] @ melodiccolor : would like to exchange phone numbers in email
[22:31:13] @ melodiccolor : I do have some
[22:31:17] SimplyNan : yes, I think that's a good idea, a good next step
[22:31:24] @ nuckinfutz : yeah, sure, I'll give you mine Jodi
[22:32:13] SimplyNan : and maybe also exchange emails?
[22:32:19] @ melodiccolor : Adain, my friend gave me some info on an affordable international call plan.
[22:32:35] @ Justin Passing : For sure - emails & whatever. We need to be able to stay in touch with each other, no matter what the internet does
[22:32:40] Adain : really?
[22:32:51] @ melodiccolor : Always exchange emails, always welcome by me
[22:33:07] @ melodiccolor : Yes, I can email the info to you
[22:33:10] Adain : I onl have a mobile at the mo though
[22:33:19] @ Justin Passing : There's always Skype too. I haven't played with it, but it sounds like a cheap way to do international calls
[22:33:23] SimplyNan : we came to consensus, we are awesome!
[22:33:55] Adain : I have skype
[22:33:57] SimplyNan : all I have is a cell phone, too, but it works
[22:34:13] @ melodiccolor : I think it's an online calling plan, but we'll figure out something Skype, that's it!
[22:34:25] @ melodiccolor : Cool.
[22:34:40] @ Justin Passing : I don't want a cel phone!
[22:34:45] @ melodiccolor : I don't even have a cell phone, lol
[22:35:11] SimplyNan : we don't have a land line, who woulda thought?
[22:35:13] Adain : I just reliesed something
[22:35:32] Adain : I'll have accent with you guys
[22:35:51] @ Justin Passing : But "down-under" accents are so cute Adain! I love them
[22:35:52] @ melodiccolor : We all have different accents
[22:35:55] SimplyNan : that will only endear you to us more, Adain
[22:36:17] SimplyNan : and, yes, we will have accents to you, too
[22:36:25] @ melodiccolor : I hear your accent online too
[22:36:25] Adain : lol
[22:36:57] @ Justin Passing : Yeah - I hear that stuff online too. But to hear accents with my ears is SOOO much nicer.
[22:37:20] @ Justin Passing : hearing is rather special to me
[22:37:36] @ melodiccolor : agreed. it is charming
[22:37:45] SimplyNan : I agree, Justin
[22:38:22] Adain : I don't hear your accents, but I remember peoples faces if I've seen your photos
[22:39:02] SimplyNan : so we have met, we have warped, and we have bonded, what a time this has been!
[22:39:07] @ Justin Passing : Indeed - what a time!
[22:39:26] Adain : It's all good
[22:39:37] @ Justin Passing : We should have a toast - a toast to all of us
[22:39:39] @ nuckinfutz : Yep
[22:39:42] SimplyNan : I was rather dragging and now I'm energized, somewhat
[22:39:44] @ melodiccolor : I'm so glad this chat happened. I just wish more could have joined in.
[22:39:54] @ Justin Passing : I'm glad so many did join in Mel
[22:40:01] @ nuckinfutz : Yeah, I wish INFP was here
[22:40:05] SimplyNan : well, maybe it wasn't the right time for them, Mel
[22:40:16] Adain : they weren't ready yet
[22:40:31] SimplyNan : what we have formed here is something special, very special
[22:40:39] SimplyNan : exactly, Adain
[22:40:55] @ Justin Passing : To present friends, and absent ones as well!!
[22:41:07] @ melodiccolor : It was already formed, Nan. That is what I am fighting so hard for; this.
[22:41:43] @ melodiccolor : and future ones as well. An expanding universe after all
[22:41:43] SimplyNan : I know, Mel, and it has brought us to this point, and I am grateful for that
[22:41:43] @ Justin Passing : I wish Strawberry was here, but that was not to be I guess
[22:42:07] Adain : mmmm, soup
[22:42:09] @ Justin Passing : soup? did someone say soup?
[22:42:17] SimplyNan : we have formed our alternative universe and like the larger one, it too shall expand
[22:42:24] @ Justin Passing : bubble soup?
[22:42:43] SimplyNan : Oh, oh, what now??
[22:42:59] SimplyNan : are we warping again?
[22:43:04] @ melodiccolor : From the gifted adult; the universe as a bowl of soup! lol
[22:43:06] @ Justin Passing : yup - in jokes are us
[22:43:25] SimplyNan : Ah, I see now
[22:43:30] @ melodiccolor : How can I forget that delightful image Adain? lol
[22:44:18] Adain : you know, I try my best
[22:45:16] @ melodiccolor : And your best is stellar
[22:45:26] SimplyNan : I think I'm starting to fade so maybe it's time to say goodnight
[22:45:36] Adain : Night nan
[22:45:49] SimplyNan : it has been a great time and I definitely look forward to future chats
[22:45:57] @ melodiccolor : Goodnight Nan. I'll email you my phone no.
[22:45:58] @ Justin Passing : Night Nan. Sleep well
[22:46:07] @ nuckinfutz : Night nan
[22:46:12] SimplyNan : remember to PM Blue, too
[22:46:24] SimplyNan : she'll be sorry she missed this
[22:46:38] SimplyNan is Disconnected on Sat 2 Aug 2008 - 22:46
[22:46:52] @ Justin Passing : That's cool Mel
[22:46:53] @ melodiccolor : We're going to post all of what I managed to save
[22:47:23] @ nuckinfutz : I saved everything from 21:47:39 on
[22:47:34] @ Justin Passing : There's an archive button that might have more Mel
[22:47:49] @ melodiccolor : wait, on my clock it says 19:47:23
[22:48:30] @ melodiccolor : Where???? the A button is for color
[22:48:32] @ Justin Passing : Not a button at the bottom - one at the top - next to auto refresh
[22:48:39] @ nuckinfutz : So you have everything saved from then on?
[22:48:42] @ nuckinfutz : Cool
[22:49:14] @ Justin Passing : I expect all our "clocks" will say different things, but that doesn't matter much
[22:49:38] @ melodiccolor : I pressed it but I'm not sure where it saved it too. How would you retrieve it.
[22:49:53] @ melodiccolor : And where?
[22:50:04] @ Justin Passing : I've only used it once, but I don't think it saves anything. The archive button just lets you access more than the chat box holds
[22:50:08] @ nuckinfutz : I've been clipping it as we've been chatting
[22:50:22] @ melodiccolor : so have I
[22:50:26] @ Justin Passing : Well, between the two of you there should be quite a bit saved
[22:51:27] @ melodiccolor : We can make a few interesting threads from parts of this
[22:51:44] @ Justin Passing : I suppose cleaning up a bit of the "time warping" would make things more readable, but that's a lot of work
[22:52:00] Adain : it'll be cool to look bac, because I missed chunks too
[22:52:07] @ nuckinfutz : I got everything from 21:47:39 on (18:47:39 Jodi's time)
[22:52:20] @ melodiccolor : No leave it in as part of the charm

[melodiccolor]

And that was just a taste of what we did. I wish I had thought to copy some of the earlier stuff; I do have more of the later.

Our chats are awesome. There will be more.

[melodiccolor]

Here's more of the chat. For some reason most of what I saved is lost, but I do have this much:

[18:25:30] @ melodiccolor : I'm having problems getting my posts posted right now and seeing others
[18:25:47] SimplyNan : mine, too, Mel
[18:25:58] @ Justin Passing : I think we're all having trouble. Sometimes I think my posts aren't registering, but they do eventually show up
[18:26:02] SimplyNan : maybe our weirdness is affecting the server? lol!
[18:26:11] @ melodiccolor : I heard the new server is having some hiccups
[18:26:19] @ Justin Passing : I think it's all lag issues
[18:26:29] Adain : lol
[18:26:45] @ melodiccolor : the posts are showing up out of order too
[18:26:51] Adain : there seems to be atime delay
[18:26:52] SimplyNan : ah, maybe major belches?
[18:27:05] @ Justin Passing : The posts are still in order for me Mel - at least by the times shown. But I don't think they're accurate
[18:27:29] SimplyNan : the posts often seem out of order
[18:27:43] SimplyNan : as to accuracy, that's a whole nother story!
[18:27:57] @ Justin Passing : well, chats are a case of "hang on for dear life" anyway, so what the heck
[18:28:12] @ melodiccolor : It's weird because earlier posts will show up above a later one only about 1/2 minute later
[18:28:22] @ Justin Passing : Think of it as "challenging reading"
[18:28:44] @ melodiccolor : I guess this group if any should be able to handle chaos
[18:28:44] Adain : it makes the convo seem kind random at tiimes
[18:28:47] SimplyNan : we're definitely in the "hang on for dear life" mode here
[18:28:58] @ Justin Passing : Yes indeed mel - we're all going for degrees as "Chaos Masters"
[18:29:05] SimplyNan : chaos seems to be our realm
[18:29:16] @ Justin Passing : LOL
[18:29:19] Adain : lol
[18:29:31] @ melodiccolor : Chaos in all its simplicity, lol
[18:29:46] SimplyNan : good one, Mel
[18:29:53] @ Justin Passing : Let's do the time warp again (I've got Rocky Horror on the brain)
[18:30:10] SimplyNan : yep, the things we agree on: night and chaos
[18:30:23] Adain : LOL
[18:30:30] SimplyNan : Rocky Horror, oh no!!
[18:30:33] @ Justin Passing : It's just a jump to the left Nan! (LOL)
[18:30:39] @ melodiccolor : Ohhhh yes!!!!!!!!!!!!
**********
[21:01:12] @ Justin Passing : that sums it up fairly well Mel
[21:01:14] @ melodiccolor : We all have different truths that are in agreement. How wonderfully ironic
[21:01:40] Adain : bubbles of reality
[21:01:55] @ Justin Passing : reality soup. Care for more pepper?
[21:02:04] @ melodiccolor : How is it you can answer my posts 2 sec before it arrives???
[21:02:23] @ melodiccolor : Bubbles indeed and quaantum mechanics
[21:02:31] @ Justin Passing : That's been happening all night Mel. I don't understand it either, except maybe it's the fault of time zones instead of actual local time
[21:02:36] @ melodiccolor : with noodles, lol!
[21:02:40] Adain : LOL
[21:03:00] @ Justin Passing : I like pepper in my soup, but only if it's fresh ground
[21:03:03] Adain : that's spooky
[21:03:30] @ melodiccolor : No, just tech glitches

[melodiccolor]

For some reason, my file on the chatbox event is missing all the middle stuff, but between what Nucky was able to save and what little I still had, you get the idea...

[SimplyNan]

We really warped out! It just dawned on me while reading this that while it certainly is interesting, it was a more fuller experience actually doing it. It was like we were riding on each other's energy. I've done this in face to face conversations before and it is just amazing but I just did not think it was possible to do it in a chat room. Especially with people I've never met before separated by lots of miles. However, when I think about it, it does seem logical. Energy flows and there is no barrier to it. Our energies were going back and forth thru time and space faster than we could type the words!! Once this dawned on me, well, my mind sorta went WOW! We truly did form an alternative universe. And our energies probably did scramble the internet. We are more awesome than we even realize.

[Rivershine]

I know I said I was out of here. I even told Justin today that I had no hopes for this board. And then I read this. My God, the chat you guys had is starting to restore my faith in this board and humanity in general. It's funny and beautiful at the same time. The laughter and magic you guys stirred up is unbelievable! Geez, I might be coming back after all...

[Nucky]

I hope you do Jessica. We all do.

[SimplyNan]

I second Nucky's words here, INFP.
Truly, I do believe we birthed something new and wonderful last evening.

[melodiccolor]

The magic was always here, even if it went into hiding for a bit. Come rejoin it, INFP.

[waterdragon7]

Sorry I had to bail after the first 30 minutes, but only the first half of my shift on Saturdays is flexible. The second half is always from 5-9 pm, no matter what, and in order to get there on time via the bus system, I have to catch the 4 pm bus.

From what I've read here, though, quite a night!

[melodiccolor]

We wish you could have stayed longer too. Finding a time both you and Adain are available right now is challenging. What you read is just a small snippet of what went on. I wish I could have gotten more; damn computer gitches, sigh.

[Rivershine]

I just might stay. I just might.

[Nucky]

I just might stay. I just might.

I really hope so. We're working hard at making this place better, and it will get better.

[Rivershine]

[BlueTopaz]

If anyone wants to know what the time warp is all about, just click here.

LOL!!
What a great way to start the day!
Love it.

[SimplyNan]

Okay, I feel all better now. Thanks, INFP

[melodiccolor]

That's just what is needed.

"It' just a jump to the left....."

[Justin Passing]

But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane....

[melodiccolor]

Let's do the time warp agaaaain! Let's do the time warp agaaaain!

[melodiccolor]

Bringing this up to the top for those who haven't had a chance to read it; it's truly wonderful!

[SimplyNan]

Good thinking, let them see what can happen here, what we are capable of doing, like creating our own alternative universe.

[Little Sister]

I'm sorry I've missed the chats, and due to the fact that I don't have internet access at home, and that my weekend schedule is usually very full, I doubt that I'll be able to attend many.

Even so, I still feel the strength of the love that permeates this board. I think we're an awesome bunch, and that together, we can go just about anywhere.

[melodiccolor]

Nucky, I just have to make this one a sticky so that all the new members will see it.

[Nucky]

Totally cool with me.
