It's written from the point of view of somone that a friend of mine
visited
Slight Diversion: you seem like an interesting person...am i
assuming too much?
Slight Diversion: <
Slight Diversion: so i dont have to sit here wondering...
Slight Diversion: well if you ever choose to im me...
Slight Diversion: i'll be curious
IOIOOIIOIO: I was reading something on the web, sorry.
IOIOOIIOIO: and yes, you're assuming too much
Slight Diversion: (smile) nice to know that i wasnt completely
ignored
Slight Diversion: well, i suppose we'll see anyhow
IOIOOIIOIO: Well, you've got me slightly diverted...
Slight Diversion: <
IOIOOIIOIO: depends what comes of it.
Slight Diversion: (smile) your homepage is amusing...
Slight Diversion: you're muslim?
IOIOOIIOIO: No
IOIOOIIOIO: Why do you ask?
Slight Diversion: any religion?
IOIOOIIOIO: mine
Slight Diversion: you mentioned the koran and allah a few times...
Slight Diversion: ah well...perhaps that is the best religion
of all...
Slight Diversion: but really i think this is either boring you
or a subject you would wish to avoid or something of that nature because
you really are taking your time to answer...what do you wish to talk about?
Slight Diversion: or mayhap your "reading something on the web"
instead of just straight out ignoring me...LoL
Slight Diversion: <
Slight Diversion: because nothing is more wretched than silence...
Slight Diversion: well if you ever come back from "Land o' the
Webpages" i'm still curious...
IOIOOIIOIO: Sorry, I was watching the "Who's Your Daddy
Show"
Slight Diversion: sure sure sure....so you say
IOIOOIIOIO: Hey, you should alwasy watch cable access shows
Slight Diversion: just like you were "reading something on the
web" a few minutes ago...
Slight Diversion: LoL
IOIOOIIOIO: I was! If you;d like i can give you the link
to it.
IOIOOIIOIO: http://web.utk.edu/~bledsoe/courses/sp2000/snowwhite.pdf
Slight Diversion: no, that's alrite...but could you please inform
me if you have to go do something?
IOIOOIIOIO: But I'm afraid the "who's your daddy show"
will be harder to supply
Slight Diversion: <
IOIOOIIOIO: Well, I wasn't expecting to be gone that long
Slight Diversion: well, regardless?
IOIOOIIOIO: Sure.
IOIOOIIOIO: So how'd you become interested in lil' ol'
me?
Slight Diversion: thank you...i dont know...looked at your homepage...it
was different...usually homepages suck
IOIOOIIOIO: Mine doesn't suck?
IOIOOIIOIO:

wackos?
Slight Diversion: yes...LoL..that one...
Slight Diversion: do you dislike all xians or merely the crazy
ones?
IOIOOIIOIO: check out the archive.
IOIOOIIOIO: I dislike the one's that base their entire
identity on it.
Slight Diversion: alright...but not right now please...i'm looking
at something right now...
IOIOOIIOIO: Do you have a webpage?
Slight Diversion: i see...i dislike them too...the ones that
base their entire identity on it...no i dont...i dont have anything to
put on it....
IOIOOIIOIO: Just turn it into an online diary... that's
pretty much what I've done
Slight Diversion: aww but wheres the mystery in that?
IOIOOIIOIO: It's oddly liberating
Slight Diversion: well i have my own diary...i dont think i need
to share it with the world...
IOIOOIIOIO: So... what do you think I should write on for
th website?
Slight Diversion: whatever amuses you to do so....
IOIOOIIOIO: well... suggest something.
Slight Diversion: and whatever you think that people willl find
amusing...i dont know...
IOIOOIIOIO: Hey... I could just post this conversation.
Slight Diversion: that's why i dont have my own webpage...
Slight Diversion: heh
Slight Diversion: you could
IOIOOIIOIO: I've doneit a couple of ties before, actually
Slight Diversion: if you think that people would find it amusing
IOIOOIIOIO: posted conversations I've had...
Slight Diversion: really? were the people amused by it?
IOIOOIIOIO: I don't know... I've only had 3 people ever
contact me on it
IOIOOIIOIO: none of them gave specific comments
Slight Diversion: and what did they say?
Slight Diversion: well...i'm sure an online conversation would
be quite amusing....if the people are funny.....
IOIOOIIOIO: "interesting page" or "I'ts 4 am and I was
reading your page and I thought I'd e-mail you... god it's pathetic e-mailing
someone you don't know just 'cause you read their webpage... i foudn it
entertaining though" and then there's you
IOIOOIIOIO: Well, they're in the archive if you want to
read 'em
Slight Diversion: and then there's me?
Slight Diversion: would you like specific comments?
IOIOOIIOIO: you're the 3rd person
Slight Diversion: heh...i'll check out the archive then...
IOIOOIIOIO: well, you've only read the one thing, so far
Slight Diversion: yes so we'll read all the others....
IOIOOIIOIO: be sure to read the Random Josh Quotes.
Slight Diversion: is josh your name?
IOIOOIIOIO: No, Josh is a guy that i went to school with
Slight Diversion: oh i see...
IOIOOIIOIO: He'd say odd off the wall stuff, so the clas
started writing them down
Slight Diversion: well i'm there right now...
Slight Diversion: <
IOIOOIIOIO: Actually he was upset... I riginally wanted
to include his picture withthe page but he rippedup the one I was planning
on using
Slight Diversion: LMAO...this is hilarious....
Slight Diversion: poor thing...
Slight Diversion: really though...he must be a funny person....
IOIOOIIOIO: Actually he's pretty bitter and violent
Slight Diversion: <
IOIOOIIOIO: or at least he is since he started smoking
crack and found Jesus...
Slight Diversion: but isnt everyone/
Slight Diversion: ?
IOIOOIIOIO: though whetherit's fromt he crack or the Jesus
I don't know
IOIOOIIOIO: I tend to blame it on the Jesus
Slight Diversion: you know, someone should tell him...they have
prozac for these kinds of things....
IOIOOIIOIO: Prozac for religious addiction?
IOIOOIIOIO: well, they give to kids for everything else
these days...
