Project Marina 

Long as it is... But bear with it, it's mildly amusing...

Session Start (ICQ - 3********:111960943): Mon Dec 27 20:14:03 2004
[20:14] 111960943: hi :))

[20:14] Magma: Hi.
[20:16] 111960943: are you there?

[20:17] Magma: No. The 'hi' was the autoresponder. And so is this.
[20:17] 111960943: won't you talk to me?
[20:18] Magma: Bloody hell... Am I not talking to you?
[20:18] 111960943: i don't know
[20:18] 111960943: you don't answer me

[20:18] Magma: Obviously. Why don't you come back when you find out?

Some thickness showng, at the very beginning. And it doesn't get any better.

[20:19] 111960943: never mind
[20:19] 111960943: i am ahmet from TURKEY
[20:19] 111960943: and you?
[20:19] Magma: I'm Margaret, from the UK.
[20:22] 111960943: how old are you?

[20:23] Magma: 22.
[20:23] 111960943: margaret

[20:23] 111960943: i am 25
[20:23] 111960943: do you like handsome men?
[20:23] Magma: So your profile says.
[20:23] Magma: o.0
[20:24] 111960943: what is oo?

[20:24] 111960943: i don't understand you
[20:24] Magma: OK, just for the sake of this conversation, let's say I do. Will you now try to impress me with the size of your penis?
[20:24] 111960943: speak clearly
[20:24] 111960943: no

[20:25] 111960943: i will do whatever you want
[20:25] 111960943: ok
[20:25] Magma: Or the number of women you supposedly had sex with?
[20:25] 111960943: no
[20:25] Magma: Because that's what the last Turk who asked the handsome men question did...
[20:25] 111960943: i am a romantic
[20:25] Magma: And I think he made that claim, too.
[20:25] 111960943: you don't understand me
[20:26] Magma: You're right, I probably don't.
[20:26] 111960943: now i am asking you again
[20:26] 111960943: do you like handsome men?
[20:27] 111960943: yes or no
[20:27] Magma: And I'll repeat, for the sake of this conversation, let's assume I do.
[20:27] 111960943: don't make it
[20:27] 111960943: :-)
[20:27] 111960943:
i won't ask again

Rather forceful guys, these Turks... Over the net, at least.

[20:27] 111960943: :-)
[20:28] 111960943: but

[20:28] 111960943: i am a handsome man
[20:28] 111960943: girls usually like me
[20:28] Magma: I suppose that's good for you.
[20:28] 111960943: you are right
[20:28] 111960943: but
[20:28] 111960943: i want to see you
[20:29] Magma: Shoot. Doesn't life suck, not giving us all we want?
[20:30] 111960943: you are a hard rock
[20:30] 111960943: we say such in TURKEY
[20:30] 111960943: :-)
[20:30] 111960943: ok

[20:30] 111960943: you can't send me your photo
[20:31] 111960943: but
[20:31] 111960943: this conversation must be very nice
[20:31] 111960943: ok
[20:32] 111960943: hard rock is an idiom
[20:32] Magma: I've got one question for you.
[20:32] 111960943: i am listening to you
[20:32] Magma: Are there no Turkish girls using the internet?
[20:32] 111960943: there are a lot of
[20:32] 111960943: why?
[20:33] Magma: OK, then another question for you. Why do Turkish men talk to me, and not to the local women?
[20:33] 111960943: i can't know the others
[20:34] 111960943: but
[20:34] 111960943: i can say that i am an english student
[20:34] 111960943: and
[20:34] 111960943: i have to improve my english

Twenty-five, still a student (granted, might be graduate), and of English. No less...

[20:34] 111960943: this is only reason for me
[20:35] Magma: Uh huh. So how would my pic help that goal?
[20:35] 111960943: because ,i like english girls very much
[20:36] Magma: My picture doesn't talk, you know...
[20:36] 111960943: but
[20:36] 111960943: it shows you to me
[20:37] 111960943: :-)
[20:38] 111960943: are you talking to other men except me?
[20:38] Magma: Right now?
[20:38] 111960943: yes
[20:39] Magma: I am. I suppose they're males, really, since their gender is irrelevant to what we're doing.
[20:39] 111960943: but
[20:39] 111960943: i am an envious man
[20:39] 111960943: i envy you from other men
[20:40] Magma: o.0

o.0 indeed...

[20:40] 111960943: 8-)
[20:40] 111960943: what are you doing now?
[20:40] 111960943: hi :))

Some 25 minutes into the conversation, a 'hi' pops up again...

[20:41] Magma: I'm doing this and that.
[20:41] 111960943: i am listening to music the valley of the wolwes
[20:42] 111960943: have you ever been to TURKEY?

What's with the caps?

[20:42] Magma: No. And I don't think I'll go any time soon.

Since I'm a bit freaked out by the Turks, even though I'm not Margaret...

[20:42] 111960943: ok
[20:43] 111960943: do you want to see some photos about TURKEY?

Caps?

[20:44] Magma: Um, not really. I've seen a lot of them.
[20:44] 111960943: they were about summer,weren't they?
[20:45] Magma: Mostly, yes.
[20:45] 111960943: but

[20:45] 111960943: i will show you about winter
[20:45] 111960943: what about you?
[20:46] Magma: What about me?
[20:46] 111960943: sorry
[20:47] 111960943: do you accept my offer?
[20:47] Magma: To see photos of Turkey in winter? Don't they look the same as the summer ones, only with snow and/or clouds?
[20:48] 111960943: you are right
[20:49] 111960943: i try to send you my photos
[20:49] 111960943: but you are very cunning
[20:49] 111960943: :-)
[20:49] 111960943: when you have got my photos ,you will see me,too.
[20:50] Magma: I don't think you can send me any photos...
[20:51] 111960943: are you a cruel?
[20:51] 111960943: :-(
[20:52] Magma: No, I'm using Trillian.
[20:53] 111960943: ok
[20:53] 111960943: what do you do in england?
[20:54] Magma: I'm a sociologist.
[20:54] 111960943: did you finish university?
[20:54] Magma: Yup.
[20:56] 111960943: when?
[20:56] Magma: Last year.
[20:59] 111960943: you say
[20:59] 111960943: do you work?
[20:59] Magma: I suppose you're not done with it?
[21:00] 111960943: do you know john scatman?
[21:00] Magma: No.
[21:01] Magma: Should I?
[21:01] 111960943: yes
[21:01] 111960943: you should
[21:01] Magma: Why?
[21:01] 111960943: i don't know
[21:01] 111960943: you had better know him
[21:02] 111960943: i am listening to scatman john
[21:02] 111960943: he was very famous 1995_96_97
[21:03] Magma: Do you know a band called Summoning?
[21:03] 111960943: no
[21:03] Magma: Then we're even.
[21:04] 111960943: i want still see you
[21:04] Magma: Well, now you know what you'll ask Santa to bring you the next year.
[21:06] 111960943: margaret
[21:06] 111960943: i like you
[21:06] 111960943: but
[21:06] 111960943: i can't see you
[21:06] 111960943: this is a very hard situation for a man

I wonder what else is hard...

[21:06] Magma: Ahmet.
[21:06] Magma: You're confused.
[21:07] Magma: You either want to practice your English, or you want to declare your undying love to me.
[21:07] Magma: But you can't want both of those things at the same time.
[21:08] 111960943: no
[21:08] 111960943: you don't understand me
[21:08] 111960943: i want only you
[21:08] 111960943: ok
[21:09] 111960943: my only wish is to see you
[21:09] Magma: You will have to decide.
[21:09] Magma: Either you're practicing English, in which case you don't need my picture, and we can go on...
[21:10] 111960943: i have decided
[21:10] Magma: Or you're looking for a virtual date, in which case we'll just say good-bye to each other, because I'm a bit tired of Turks looking for a virtual date.
[21:10] 111960943: you are more important than english for me
[21:11] 111960943: i want to see you
[21:11] Magma: In that case, good bye.
[21:12] 111960943: if you don't want me,you must say to me this
[21:13] Magma: Say what?
[21:14] 111960943: i am listening to laava
[21:14] 111960943: laava says that wherever you are
[21:14] 111960943: and
[21:14] 111960943: i say that
[21:14] 111960943: wherever you are margaret
[21:14] 111960943: sorry
[21:15] 111960943: i must say
[21:15] 111960943: princess margaret

Awww... Well, he did say he's a romantic.

[21:16] Magma: Do I really need to be so uncivilised to use the ignore button?
[21:16] 111960943: ignore button isn't a solution
[21:17] 111960943: you know this
[21:17] 111960943: you can't escape from reals
[21:17] Magma: To the problem of you, it is. Bye!
[21:17] 111960943: you are wrong
[21:17] 111960943: bye isn't a solution
[21:18] 111960943: unfortunately,bye doesn't solve anything
[21:18] 111960943: you know this ,too
[21:20] 111960943: you know that i am a romantic
[21:20] 111960943: if you want a romantic man one day,i will be waiting for you
[21:20] Magma: Well, one thing has to be said about you... You're stubborn.

And ain't the evil, wicked me happy for it?

[21:21] 111960943: and

At this point, I decide to run him in circles, responding to what he says to one account using the other.

Session Start (ICQ - 95926556:111960943): Mon Dec 27 21:21:24 2004
[21:21] 111960943: you are very clever
[21:21] 111960943: i feel this
[21:21] Magma: Oh, dear... Aren't you about to be surprised...
[21:22] d'Green: Don't wait for Margaret... You don't have that much time.
[21:22] 111960943: this sentence is a form
[21:22] 111960943: but
[21:22] 111960943: i can't remember this form now
[21:22] d'Green: So young, and so forgetful...
[21:22] 111960943: i learn english from grammar books
[21:23] 111960943: and
[21:23] 111960943: english people say that
[21:23] d'Green: Well, there are worse ways to learn English...
[21:23] 111960943: it is raining cats and dogs
[21:23] 111960943: when it rains heavily
[21:24] d'Green: Unlike Croatians, who say it's the axes.
[21:24] 111960943: are you a mad?
[21:24] d'Green: A little bit.
[21:25] d'Green: Do you still want to see my picture?
[21:25] 111960943: don't talk about margaret
[21:25] d'Green: Why not?
[21:26] 111960943: this problem is between margaret and me

He fails to perceive the split in my personality... :)

[21:26] d'Green: To all intents and purposes, I am Margaret...
[21:26] *** Error while sending IM: This user is currently not logged on

But it looks like I did get him confused.

[21:26] Magma: Aww...
Session Close (111960943): Mon Dec 27 21:27:09 2004

A battle is over, but the war continues the next day...

[20:28] MAV: welcome to icq
[20:28] Magma: You left so suddenly yesterday... Don't want to see Margaret any more?
[20:30] MAV: you say

[20:30] Magma: I hope you won't.

[20:32] MAV: margaret


[20:32] d'Green: Repeating yourself, aren't you?
[20:33] MAV: i memorize your name
[20:33] MAV: :))

A difficult name it is, and memorising it is a feat to be proud of. As he definitely seems to be.

[20:33] d'Green: You like having imaginary friends?
[20:34] MAV: i don't know you but you are a mad i suppose
[20:35] MAV: i won't forget margaret
[20:36] MAV: you envy us

Poor old me, envying him and his relationship with a non-existing person.

[20:36] d'Green: I am Margaret. :)
[20:36] MAV: impossible

If you're using ICQ, it is... Use Trillian, folks, and everything is possible!

[20:36] MAV: magma is online
[20:36] d'Green: Well, I'm a tricky one.
[20:36] MAV: you use two lines at the same time
[20:37] d'Green: Six, actually.
[20:39] MAV: ok
[20:39] MAV: margaret
[20:39] MAV: when will i see you?
[20:40] d'Green: You really want to see who Margaret is?
[20:41] MAV: yes
[20:41] MAV: am i guilty for that?
[20:41] MAV: :-)
[20:42] d'Green: Hm. Do you have Yahoo Messenger?
[20:42] MAV: yes
[20:42] MAV: what will you do with it?
[20:43] d'Green: Fire up the cam. :)
[20:43] MAV: but
[20:43] MAV: i haven't got a cam
[20:44] d'Green: That's not much of a problem, if you want to see Margaret.
[20:44] MAV: ok
[20:44] d'Green: Although, I'd really like to see your expression when you do.

And I would have enjoyed it... Sooooo much. I would've even taken stills of it.

[20:45] d'Green: m****@yahoo.com
[20:45] MAV: i will connect to yahoo
[20:45] MAV: my nickname is "delioldumya"
[20:45] MAV: send me a message
[20:45] MAV: ok
[20:48] MAV: are you there?
[20:48] d'Green: I am... You seem not to be.
[20:48] MAV: ok
[20:48] MAV: i will do it
[20:49] MAV: i will connect soon
[20:50] MAV: i am in yahoo
[20:50] MAV: and
[20:50] MAV: where are you?

Inserting the Yahoo! log...

m**** (20:46:05): Evening...
delioldumya (20:50:30): margaret
m**** (20:50:37): Why, there you are...
m**** (20:51:38): Do you like Margaret?
m**** (20:53:14): Or do you need to see more... I'm not going to strip for you, you know...
delioldumya (20:54:10): are you gay?
delioldumya (20:54:10): i fuck your face
delioldumya (20:54:29): piss off

He's looking at me, all right...

m**** (20:54:46): Hehe...
[20:55] delioldumya: you are a prostitute's child

What a horrible insult! I really don't know how I'll be able to sleep after this!

[20:55] m****: This is going to make a most fun log to publish, you know...

To publish, at least, if not to read...
And back to ICQ.


[20:52] d'Green: Done looking at me?
[20:53] MAV: you are a mad
[20:53] d'Green: Slightly.

[21:01] d'Green: You're still here?

[21:01] d'Green: Of course I am Margaret.
[21:01] MAV: who was he?
[21:01] MAV: you must say to me
[21:01] d'Green: He was 'Margaret'.
[21:02] d'Green: Still is...

[21:02] MAV: margaret is a girl
[21:02] MAV: but he was a man

No... Where did that idea come from?

And he said ignoring isn't a solution... Well, it'll make things less fun for me.

[21:06] MAV: any more
[21:07] MAV: only we
[21:07] MAV: ok

[21:07] MAV: f********@superposta.com
[21:07] MAV: my email address
[21:07] Magma: You want me to use that address to subscribe to some spam?

Hm. A serious temptation. And it isn't even an e-mail account worth opening.

[21:08] MAV: if you change your mind ,you can send your photo this address

Margaret definitely needs a face.

Somehow, I don't think I've seen the last of this guy... I wonder, does he imagine this gay son of a prostitute is holding sweet, dear, innocent Margaret prisoner, or something?

No privacy cloak for this guy, though. Doesn't deserve it.
