>> [Tuesday] 9/17/2002 :: 6:31 PM -- NEWMSG I'm celebrating right now (I would've celebrated yesterday, but I thought it would be better to celebrate with Louie and Mimok, kaso nde ko rin sila nakasama kanina, so I'm celebrating now), because yesterday was a special day for me. It still is. For those who want to know why, here's a transcript of #OOC-Renegade in irc.purple-irc.org (Note: I'm CdtFogarty): <Neko> Cadet, would you be so kind as to rank up ùíù Neko is now known as LtNeko >>> You(Neil) are now known as EnsReyes-Helm[Brdg] <LtNeko> ah, Cadet rank please <LtNeko> lol >>> You(EnsReyes-Helm[Brdg]) are now known as EnsFogarty-Helm[Brdg] >>> You(EnsFogarty-Helm[Brdg]) are now known as CdtFogarty-Helm[Brdg] <LtNeko> We will sim in a minute, this is more of a formal proceeding, so drop your job and local >>> You(CdtFogarty-Helm[Brdg]) are now known as CdtFogarty <LtNeko> =/\= ATTENTION ON DECK =/\= <CdtFogarty> ::attn:: <LtNeko> ::smiles:: Good.
