Chats From the Past

Sorry I didn't return on Monday as I said I would. I slept for 12 hours on Monday instead. It was a long weekend. A good one, but a long one.

While I was visiting Jacob in Indiana, I had no Internet, so when he was off at work I watched a lot of movies and downloaded TV... and also did some digging through old computer documents. One of the things I found was a series of old AIM chat logs with my good friend Sarah, from back when I was 18 or so. Sarah is one of those people whose sense of humor often perfectly coincides with mine, and some of these chats made me laugh so hard that I knew I had to share them with you guys.

I present... Sarah and Hannah, circa 2005.

The Feud Between Sarah and Singer Lauren Kennedy

Sarah: I do have something against Lauren Kennedy though. She told me I could mail her the liner notes to her CD and she'd autograph them. I sent them to her and still have not gotten them back from her
Me: Maybe she lost her liner notes and needed some to keep.
Me: The least she could do then, though, is send you an autographed picture or something.
Sarah: Yeah seriously
Me: Heh
Me: Or better yet
Me: Show up at your house and sing an original song for you called "Thank You For the Liner Notes, I Hope It's Okay I Stole Them"

Unusual Song Choices

Me: Hazard a guess what my 6th-most-played song is on iTunes.

Sarah: Hmmm

Me: The top 5 are all from Music & Lyrics.

Me: LOL.

Sarah: LOL

Me: The 7th is "Come Up To My Office" from Parade.

Me: Shiksa Goddess is 11th for some reason.

Me: And number six is.........

Sarah: Dang, I was gonna guess SG

Me: The "Kanine Krunchies" jingle from the movie 101 Dalmatians.

Sarah: LOL!!!!!

Sarah: ExcUse me??

Me: Why? I don't know!

Sarah: Over Shiksa Goddess????

Sarah: Sadness

Sarah: *goes to check what her most played song on Itunes is*

Sarah: Goodness. Whatever. Mine is "The Aba Daba Honeymoon" so who am I to talk??

Speaking French

(Sarah was going to be visiting me shortly)

Me: And if ye want you can come to my music appreciation and French classes in the morning. Heh. Twill be exciting stuff *nod*

Sarah: Aah and then I can sit back and feel so happy that *I* no longer have to study french *grins*

Me: LOL

Me: Indeed

Me: But you can't give it up entirely

Me: Because I INTEND TO SPEAK TO YOU IN FRENCH

Sarah: LOL

Me: And it's possible that I may offer Adam to you and you won't know what I'm saying and you'll be all like "No thank you" and then I'll be like "bwahahahaHAHAHA I win".

(Adam = Adam Pascal, a celebrity we both liked very much. I had claimed him as my celebrity boyfriend at the time.)

Sarah: LOL!!

Sarah: I'll have to listen very carefully if I hear a sentence with the word "Adam" in it

Me: Ah well I'll have to be sneaky then

Sarah: If I do then I'll just say "J'adore Adam" to play it safe...

Save the Last Snooky

Sarah: LOL I totally agree with your Save the Last Dance review... that's exactly the way it impressed me

Sarah: Except we call it "Save the last Snooky"

Me: Heh. Good to see we're on the same page

Me: LOL!

Me: Snooky?

Sarah: Yeah one of the character's is called that, and Naomi kept thinking a bunch of the characters were him cause she couldn't distinguish him

Sarah: "Oh THAT one is Snooky! No, No wait..."

Sarah: *snookies

Sarah: Actually is the name 

Me: LOL I forgot him

Sarah: Naomi couldn't figure out the plot and for some reason she thought he was the villian

Sarah: Cause he has maybe one scene

The Best Hymn of All Time

Sarah: Our church here is just.... wow.

Sarah: :-D

Me: LOL

Me: "wow" meaning....?

Me: ;-)

Sarah: Once we sang a "hymn" called: "Lutheran Women One and All"

Sarah: =-O

Me: *cracks up*

Me: Were the men allowed to sing

Me: ?

Sarah: LOL Yes they were supposed to! Isn't that.... odd?

Sarah: My Dad just closed the song book and stared at the ceiling during that song

.

.

.

Me: We were singing "Here I Am To Worship" this week (a REALLY popular modern worship song)

Me: which is actually a pretty decent song

Sarah: Haven't heard/sung it

Me: But there's this one part that goes "And I'll never know how much it cost / To see my sin upon that cross"

Me: And I started thinking about it...

Me: AND IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

Me: It didn't cost ANYONE to SEE the sin 

Sarah: LOL!!

Sarah: *cracks up*

Me: And the "I" of the song certainly didn't see it

Me: It cost something to get the sin THERE. Seeing it has nothing to do with it.

Sarah: Hmmm... and I thought "Lutheran Women, coast to coast, we are indeed a might host" was a pretty bad rhyme

Me: *cracks up*

Sarah: Makes them sound like locusts

Sarah: :-D

Sarah: brb just a sec

Me: okee

Sarah: I have returned. Stronger and more powerful then ever before *nods*

Me: OH NO

Me: It's because you are a LUTHERAN WOMAN

Me: COAST TO COAST

Sarah: LOL!!!

Me: YOU ARE INDEED A MIGHTY HOST

Me: lol

Sarah: *cracks up*

Sarah: THAT'S RIGHT!

Sarah: /flex

Me: But do the men get to sing anything?

Me: about themselves, that is

Sarah: You know you are right... I don't think there is a "Lutheran Men" song

Sarah: Pretty sexist if you ask me

Me: "Lutheran men stand proud and tall, don't sing that other song at all."

Sarah: LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sarah: You could write hymns for our church Hannah!!

Me: LOL

Me: I could indeed *grin*

Me: "Lutheran women have their songs, but we don't have to sing along"

Sarah: LOL!!!!!!!!

Sarah: You have the gift!

Me: "We are mighty, we are great, all you people celebrate"

Sarah: *cracks up* You want to know what the really sad thing is? That really sounds legit *grins*

Me: LOL

Me: "Wait a minute, I don't see - why're we singing about ME?"

Me: :-P

Sarah: LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sarah: I like this song

Me: "Why is God not in these hymns? So much for the Lutheran men."

Me: THE END

Sarah: LOL!!!!!! BRILLIANT!

Me: You should sing that next time you go

Sarah: *applaudes*

Sarah: Seriously should Lol

Me: I think I've improved it

Me: at least God makes an appearance now

Sarah: *laughs* That's right!

Sarah: It's not a hymn to ourselves like "Lutheran Women one and all"
