nina: hi :)
nina: you haven't been on for ages :
maddy: yeah, sorry. you know how I feel about IM though. mostly.
nina: yeah, i know. *pats*
maddy: I need a favour...
nina: tell me :)
maddy: sorry to come on just to ask for something
nina: that's okay. what's the favour?
maddy: need to borrow your digi cam. *cringes*
nina: ooooh, that's a big ask dear.
nina: what happened to yours?
maddy: it's fucking up again. I think it might be dying :(
nina: that focus thing again?
nina: how old is it again?
maddy: 4 years in May. the focus thing, yeah.
nina: you need it for how long?
maddy: just today. Pauline's in a pageant thingy and mum wants me to take pics and I can't be farked finding my film camera.
nina: so you'll need my drivers to upload to your puter?
maddy: I guess, although the thought of installing other cam drivers scares me - will it fuck with my existing stuff, do you think?
nina: no clue. you could just give it back to me after and i'll upload to my puter and burn them on a cd for you. that would be more convenient yeah?
maddy: that would be WONDERFUL!!! =)
nina: okay, when do you need it? what time?
maddy: can I come over now and get it?
nina: i would be rubbing sleep outta my eyes if i'd slept...
maddy: if you were just going to sleep and I'm keeping you up I'm so sorry! I will do something wonderful for you to make it up *grovels*
nina: there is something actually...
nina: how healthy is your paypal account? ;)
maddy: no idea. what do you want?
nina: $18 usd
maddy: but what's it for?
nina: nothing rude. not porn or anything like that
maddy: how can I buy you something if you won't tell me what it is?
nina: i want to do what we did for 0-23, where i paste your paypal cookies into my file...
maddy: this is for soething you don't want me to know aobut?
maddy: damn typos :(
maddy: sorry, I'm in a hurry :(
nina: yeah, this is for "something it would be simpler if you didn't know about" *grins evilly*
maddy: another damn domain? ;)
nina: not quite. another damn olj.
maddy: ah. okay. I see. yeah, okay. if it bounces I'll let you know.
nina: you coming to pick up the camera?
maddy: oh, gee, "I almost forgot" (as if)
nina: *lol*
Also edited a little for clarity. You know, putting responses in some kinda order.
So I log in to add the above and find --
(7 mins later)
As I was saying, I log in to paste the convo as an entry and I find I have a whole bunch of extra stuff that comes with Gold membership, so I figure it went through already. :)
I actually had no intention of going Gold so soon (let's see first if I can stick to writing, dammit) but letting someone borrow my digital camera is a major sort of thing. I wouldn't even lend it to H forgodsakes (although partly coz I have no idea if he's competent with a camera even generally speaking). I would do/lend/give most anything to H but not my digi cam. (I would be patting it protectively right now if Maddy hadn't just taken it away for the day)
So it will really help if I set up the other half of my puter stuff today, like the CD burner. If I was any slacker I think I'd fall apart...
