Taken from my MSN convo with Kev, cuz I had to tell someone right away who'd appreciate this experience:

ok. so someone named Steph sent me a message on MSN
So I started chatting with Steph and talking about how I had an amazing day, and felt really loved, and felt the happiest that I've been since before my mom got sick.
So, a very revealing conversation, right?
THEN - I realized it wasn't the Steph I thought it was.....
It was A GUY... FROM FRANCE.... WHO I JUST MET.... WHO I'M DOING A GROUP PROJECT WITH.!!!!!
so, here's the issue
i basically just bonded with someone - UNINTENTIONALLY!!!!



So here's the thing. Steph's a nice enough guy, and working on a group project with him and another guy means that we'll have to get along. But this is WEIRD!!! I thought it was my friend Steph who lives in Calgary right now for co-op!!!!!! This was girl talk, OBVIOUSLY!!!! Gah. But, I think most of it flew over this guy's head because his English is still not great. I mean, his English is better than most ppl's French, but he still has a lot of trouble understanding the nuances of the language.

Anyways. The moral of the story: Check the email address of the person who's messaging you BEFORE you start spouting off!!!

Moral #2: Get an IM program that allows you to make a custom name for a person to ensure that you avoid these strange things.
