HBT:  Let me guess, your vote went for McCain/Palin? Ashley:  do you really want to have this conversation? HBT:  not really just teasing Ashley:  i'm telling you, the best thing you can do is let me forget you're a republican.  b/c i only have room for one republican friend, and that's Habe. Ashley:  and not for nothing, but she's a NYC republican, so she's really just a placeholder

Christina:  I feel like I am at a great disadvantage with being the fav IM conversation.  First, I don’t have IM now due to “the man” since IMing outside of [my company] is unnecessary. Second, I have ADD when it comes to IM, and Third, I am not that funny. Christina:  I really need to work on two and three. Christina:  PS – although I am proud of HBT being a fav IM – a little J as well.

Guitar Boy:  make it stop Ash: the only way to get rid of it is to forward it on to others Guitar Boy:  ok, i'll send it to Athayde

FaveRussian: in less than a month I learned from you:  that you need to mix then master, and that there is an acoustic electric type of guitar which you plug into amp - not bad GuitarBoy (on Ashley’s computer): i must be good for something FaveRussian: I need you to be famous actually FaveRussian: I already use you in russia a lot to improve my popularity and coolness Ashley G.:  we use you too--telling people you are a Russian spy Ashley G.: (that was ash) FaveRussian:  please close IM window  before Ashley can steal conversation FaveRussian:  d'oh Ashley G.:  TOO LATE FaveRussian:  too late

Ash: nate informs me that Live (the band) went to his high school in York Ash:  b/c i was like, uh, they're from lancaster.  and he was like, uh, they're from york Anne:  ha - yeah, they're from york. they moved to lancaster when they made it big though. Anne:  CUZ YORK SUCKS. Ash: i had your back!!!! Anne: so stick that in your pipe, nate

Ashley:  you'll enjoy this:      Nate:  ok Ashdown, i am signing off, we      need to hang out soon!      Ashley: let's get drinky poos.  we'll see if      we can get you to fall on your tailbone      again      Nate:  ha.  im glad i could be a form of      entertainment for you.  i was protectin'      annie d!      Ashley: i know!  a true gentleman!!! Anne:  ha!  he so was. Ashley:  i still laugh thinking about that Anne:  why exactly haven't we moved on to video cameras?  clearly still cameras cannot capture the hilariousness of our lives. Ashley:  you've never been more right

Sarah M.:  P.S. I am all over the Pink reference. Someone better not give my table to jessica simps.

Annie:  as the inventor of the happy snap, i can't believe you didn't think of this Ashley:  you are crazy! Annie:  you coulda made millions

Viv:  you have to go see slumdog millionaire Viv:  made me want to go fight for women's rights in 3rd world countries Ash: you, oprah, and madonna Viv: you are the one who studied all that stuff Viv:  so it's you, oprah, and madonna Viv: i'll tag along to analyze language use Viv:  and study madonna's fake brittish accent Ash: that's a dissertation in and of itself

Anon.: it's funny how on craigslist people actually list things like wood paneling and mirrored walls as an attractive quality for an apartment Ash:  you can watch yourself as you work out Anon.: or watch tv Ash: hahaha.  or pick your nose Anon.:  and just generally pick at my whole body

Ash: sweet ass! FaveRussian: you betcha! Ash:  is that supposed to be your Sarah Palin impression?? FaveRussian: just a response to "sweet ass" FaveRussian: probably heard it from other side of Kamchatka [Alaska] when Sarah Palin was talking to Russia

Jenn G.:  uh oh. Ash:  hehe, i knew that.  i was so afraid this link was going to tell me Forever 21 was going under!  what would i DO??????? Jenn G.:  You would mourn for years. Ash:  and would probably have to turn to religion just to cope! Jenn G.:  which may be their plan to begin with... they will set up a church where the store used to be and you'll just keep going out of habit.... which is all they will sell... and you will have to leave [Guitar Boy] and become a nun...

Ashley G.:  you "bested" Sarah G.:  so?  what should i have said? Ashley G.: doesn't mr. hebert deserve more than a "best"? Ashley G.: "love," "fondly," nothing Ashley G.:  nothing is worse than "best" in my world Sarah G.: no, "regards" is worse Sarah G.: i like "best" Sarah G.: i find no problems with it Ashley G.: ick.  it's like fakely warm Ashley G.:  you're not fakely warm, you're ACTUALLY warm.  maybe, "warmly" Sarah G.:  so it's ok!  cause it's not fake! Sarah G.:  what if I had said "all our best."  is that better? Ashley G.:  that would be better.  at least a little Ashley G.:  "kisses" would have been killer Sarah G.:  should i write and apologize for "best"ing? Sarah G.: is it that bad? Ashley G.: hahahahahahaha,  no Ashley G.: just make sure you send hugs next time ;) Sarah G.: FINE Sarah G.:  best, sarah
