I bet it's the "Egypt" in your name.

Yep!

I can tell which IM services have global penetration because of this, too. Skype is big in Egypt, and that was a large contributor to why I never use it.

Setting Skype to "Only allow people in my Contact List to contact me" helps immensely. That's how I set up Skype for my mom, at least. :)

I did think of doing something like that, but I really hate managing my contact list - I prefer to just leave it open to all when I'm available, and stay obscure. Skype's prominent 'search for contact' function means that obscurity just isn't happening for me there, though!

plus, well, I really hate the idea of having more than one IM program sitting there in the background, sucking up swap space. If Adium ever adds Skype (not bloody likely) then maybe I'll be available on there again. Maybe.

Fair enough. I mostly started using Skype because that's what the project team was using, and it was easy to set up.

Wow. That's... daunting.

Wow. They build up, don't they?

Have you attempted to travel by air since changing your name legaly to Peggy, and adopting the AKA Egypt Urnash?

The government knows nothing about "Egypt Urnash" so far. All my ID says "Margaret Trauth", which matches with the ticket, so nothing weird happens...

Even so, the government knows that Terrorists frequently hide behind aliases. I heard that as of next month Egypt Urnash will have been involved in some questionable activities in the Boston area... Let me ask you Mrs. Urnash, Tarot cards, or encoded terrorist "chatter?"


I'm so very bored, that's why I torment or joke so.

Are these cards capable of divining the nature of future attacks on THESE UNITED STATES???!

The Department of National Occult Defense has raised the public alert level to three of cups, repeat, three of cups. The nations most charismatic evangelical preachers are instructed to report to their nearest branch office for briefing.

Dear Ms. Urnash,

You are cordially invited to drop by our super secret HQ in New Jersey for a little chat.
Is 10pm on Tuesday good for you?
Just look for the giant eternal flame out front.

Best regards,
Dr. Kate Corrigan
BPRD

Yes, but I'd have to hurt you.

So does Facebook have the same serial adder nightmare that Myspace does? I'm so spoiled by LJ.

I think I've had about ten people who are not from Egypt try to add me on Facebook, ever.

Those guys really love Egypt! You should leverage your new friends by drawing sphinx-grrl pinups for Facebook. :D
