Chat 78, in which I scamper around like a playful dog: March 6th 1999
I transcribed the whole chat onto paper - not really the whole chat, just the parts relevant to Starryeyes and Terreis - and only the interesting parts - it took 3 A4 pages, even though I was selective and used appropriate abbreviations - and then I typed it.
Calmness = Stephen
[things in square brackets = post-transcription comments by me, some of which is speculations about what people meant.]

starryeyes says: haha [sarcastic?]
starryeyes says: *buttless*
(there was more – but I couldn't be bothered transcribing it)
[I offered my own butt to starryeyes - she refused - then she died - I tried to drag her away but she was too fat - she slapped me - I started embalming - she got disconnected - I announced that I was leaving - she came back and explained her sudden departure - I said "oh well" and left anyway.]
