Last night, I did a live video chat at ReneePearson.com in my pajamas. (Sorry, whenever I use the term "live video chat" I have the urge to follow it with: LIVE SINGLES IN YOUR AREA ARE WAITING TO TALK NOW!, but I digress.)
So we start chatting (and if you missed it, you can register at ReneePearson.com and watch it On Demand at ReneeTV) and about 5 or so minutes into it, a chat participant named Fawn asked me "What is your favorite subject to scrapbook about?" I cheekily said, "Me," then followed it up with my sound reasoning as to why and how scrapbooking about others is ultimately a subjective point of view, and therefore, whoever you are scrapbooking about, you can't help but inject a bit of you into the story-telling process.
It seemed like an innocent question, until my iChat Instant Messenger Window popped up, with a message from a very good friend and former co-worker of mine who I will call "Tim Dicklord," and he chats me: "Thanks for answering my question."
Then he asks me, while I'm trying to stay focused on the chat at hand if I liked the name he logged in as, which was Fawn del Majonk.
Which he then oh-so helpfully interprets for me: Fondle My Junk.
Of course, being the professional that I am, I quickly chatted at him: GO AWAY, and finished the chat and no one was the wiser, but stifling my laughter was about as easy quitting smoking.
I guess my point today is this: you never know when someone is going to log in under a false name and that name is going to be Fawn del Majonk.
Thanks to everyone who chatted last night. It really wasn't vodka in my glass. (And rest assured, Tim is a very dear friend who makes me laugh heartily on a regular basis. Still, I'm going to have to take him down a notch very, very soon.)
Tomorrow, I have a multi-sponsor giveaway, so check back!

And here I thought you were looking for a friend of mine! Her name IS Amanda, is a scrapbooker, and uses the moniker “Amanda Hug n Kiss” on a message board!
Love the Bart prank calls.

I enjoyed the chat last night. I didn’t get to participate and only “watched” the shoutouts live on my iTouch. After I got our g’son to bed, I logged on to the ReneePearson site and watched the whole thing. It was great! Thanks.

Hi Cathy, I think you stifled your laugh pretty well! Funny story! I was there last night and enjoyed your chat. It was my first live chat and I hate to admit this but, I couldn’t figure out how to post a question. I still had a great time. By the way, I looked great. I had all my makeup on! Lol. I am a faithful reader of your blog so it was fun to hear you for a change. Thanks for all you do!

You have a funny friend! He got you. I love to hear of a good practical joke. I enjoyed the chat and thanks to command f3 will have a fun thing to scrap one day. Now if I can figure out where that “grab” key on my mac is….
