Test Run For Skypbook Posted on 4/7/13 God knows when created.

Thanks to a comment by Da Dip we now know this conversation took place on This'd be 23 December 2012. 
And it occurs to me this is what happens in the end to people who thought their personal correspondence was worthy of carbon copies back in the days of typewriters. 
did the world end over by where you are? Heloooo.
[9:09:09 AM] Alice Lee: Here we just got a white dust over everthing but I think it was just a warning shot.
[9:09:51 AM] Alice Lee: Don't know if I am disappointed or relieved,
[9:10:25 AM] davidly: I'm floating in the lightless weightless ether of the new Bracktoon! Are you the aliens?
[9:10:50 AM] Alice Lee: So long. And thanks for all the fish.
[9:12:01 AM] Alice Lee: I haven't identified where in the galaxy I am yet.
[9:12:25 AM] davidly: What was that about a contract to build a new highway through that part of the galaxy and they didn't respond in time so they had no recourse in the demolition of their planet...?
[9:13:26 AM] Alice Lee: I mostly remember the bulldozers were coming for his house and he asked some body to guard it for him. And the last line.

[9:18:03 AM] davidly: ...in geometric order.
[9:18:25 AM] Alice Lee: exponentially increasing
[9:18:40 AM] davidly: ....in between the bright lights and the bright unlit unknown.

[9:56:40 AM] Alice Lee: Whut? about skypebook? OMG no more updates, please Directions for going for coffee when using skype on yer laptop. Carefully remove laptop from lap and put laptop on adjacent table. ditto with mouse. fold back cover keeping legs and feet warm and put on footstool. push footstool out of your way with feet. pick up empty coffee cup and water glass and liq pro glass. scoot forward, give a might heave, putting weight on heels to facilitize standing. (errata) remove headphones before heaving)
Cainch ye jus' rang a bell?
[9:59:53 AM] Alice Lee: I'd jes drop it waht's that about skpybook and all? you switch to URDU? i don get it.
It's called responding to your previous comment. Try an' keep up.
[10:01:29 AM] Alice Lee: o. well wuz that an example of important stuff?
Davidly
No, I was making fun of the very fact that you would call it important. Relative to blathering or not.
[10:03:20 AM] Alice Lee: You mean you were ridiculing me and I didn't get it. Can I take classes is 'getting'' it somewhere?
Oh, god. Could you imagine having to teach such a class?
[10:05:57 AM] Alice Lee: I can't imagine teaching any class. I'd go nuts. Nuttier. but maybe if i buy a bell.....build it and they will come sorta....
[10:06:42 AM] Alice Lee: I guess you'd have to really keep up on current um stuff[10:08:53 AM] Alice Lee: Maybe if I edited this a little, to make it more understandable, it would sell. You know, like adding names and dates and what we were wearing and other descriptive stuff
[10:09:34 AM] Alice Lee: naragation
I hate to burst your bubble, but even if the publisher put all their muscle into it, it would go over like draino and diarrhea.
[10:11:16 AM] Alice Lee: why o why does everyone always poo poo my creative impulses? no wonder i never amounted to nothing.
[10:11:56 AM] Alice Lee: draino? [10:13:00 AM] Alice Lee: that's erudite. and witty too. thanks. I knew you'd pitch in an help me
[10:15:42 AM] Alice Lee: I need to steal other pepels exchanges too, ffor contrast. how do you do that? maybe that could be your part of the project.
[10:15:50 AM] davidly: I dunno. Poo poo? I guess having had my own fill of passive-aggressive, latent desire for massive amounts of attention while not having to be around anyone that the more overt variety of the same doesn't inspire me to pitch in any more than making poop jokes.
[10:16:40 AM] davidly: you can use that as the title if you want.

kinda long for the title, maybe for the secondary title. i think that was a fuck you. am i getting it more now?
[10:18:58 AM] Alice Lee: the part about passive agressive etc?
[10:19:15 AM] davidly: No. Better to force the literary critics to come up with their own witty abreviation.
[10:19:29 AM] davidly: Maybe even an acronimm.
Davidl
[10:21:13 AM] davidly: Ighhmofop-aldfmaoawnhtbaattmovotsdimtpiamtmpj is a good starting point, but I betcha that some author-wannabe critchtic could come up with something that would sound better rolling off of Oprah's toungue.
[10:22:13 AM] Alice Lee: do those letter mean anything and was the passive agressive part a fuck you?
D[10:23:45 AM] davidly: Passive-aggressive is a reference to wanting to be popular without having to see anyone. Kind of authorly, if I say so myself.
[10:24:18 AM] davidly: The letter are an acronym for my afore-suggested title.
[10:24:49 AM] Alice Lee: yeah! exactly. without seeing or talking to anyone unless i summon them explicitly. is there something wrong with that?
[10:25:25 AM] Alice Lee: talking to anyone not taking
Not if you can afford it. And maybe not otherwise. Depends on how one measures the concept of "wrong".
[10:27:33 AM] Alice Lee: i dunno. maybe i need to see a person now and then. just so i know i'm still real
[10:28:08 AM] davidly: What's a "per-son"?
Kelly: you can get a word in here. This is edgewise.
[1:14:47 PM] davidly: You gotta use this one.
[1:14:56 PM] davidly: This is Kelly's edgewise.
[1:44:06 PM] davidly: put your headphones on and talk

Maybe I should date the entries. Even I don't understand these references now.
