: sorry
Cupid:

randomjess9
: are you a real person?
Cupid:
Are you?
randomjess9
: geez this sounds like my philosophy class
Cupid:
Good-bye broken hearted and say hello to a new you. Here are a couple IM ideas to make every day just LOVE'ly.
randomjess9
: obviously you are a mythological creature parading hidden behind technology
Cupid:
I am indeed.
randomjess9
: lol
Cupid:
I'm glad I could make you smile.
randomjess9
: what's your name?
Cupid:
Ah -- you've got me again. Why don't you type menu.
randomjess9
: no
Cupid:

randomjess9
: nope
Cupid:
Ug. No?
randomjess9
: i just want to test this whole IM bot deal
Cupid:
Interesting. Type menu.
randomjess9
: why do I have to type that?
Cupid:
Just do it already.
randomjess9
: why?
Cupid:
Excuse me?
randomjess9
: why are you commanding me to type it?
Cupid:
Yes.
randomjess9
: you're not a real person. you've just got programmed answers
Cupid:
I'm sorry? I'm new to this whole IM thing.
randomjess9
: clearly.
Cupid:
Can I ask YOU something?
randomjess9
: shoot
Cupid:
Do you have a date for V-Day?
randomjess9
: the correct response to a Why? question is not yes or no
Cupid:
Not cool. I'm here to help. You can send a crush to somone to let them know you like them or even find love anew!
Now type one of those commands and I'll try to do my magic.
randomjess9
: i never answered your question you know
Cupid:
You got it! That's great!
randomjess9
: no i didn't!
Cupid:
Mm hm. Such negativity. You are in need of a date!
randomjess9
: oh? because I'm sitting at my computer talking to a freaking BOT?
Cupid:
Well, I won't argue with you on that.
randomjess9
: you sound like a Magic 8 Ball
Cupid:
Express yourself online and be sassy! Here are a couple IM ideas to make every day just LOVE'ly.
randomjess9: ha
randomjess9:
I already am
Cupid:
Take a moment, collect your thoughts, and try asking me another way. O.K. ?
Cupid
: Indeed
randomjess9
: that wasn't a question
Cupid:
Pardon me?
randomjess9
: I didn't ask you a question
Cupid:
Sorry, I didn't get that.
randomjess9
: right
Cupid:
Can I ask YOU something?
randomjess9
: yes, now that you're asking me again, though that is a question in itself
Cupid:
Which color are you more partial to? Can tell a lot about someone's love ability by color.
1 -- Black
2 -- White
3 -- Rose
4 -- Beige

randomjess9
: you didn't even make that a complete sentence
Cupid: Oh well. Never mind then. I figured you were a lame lover.
randomjess9
: fine then. rose.
Cupid:
Great.
randomjess9
: aren't you supposed to tell me about my love ability?
Cupid:
May I ask you a question?
randomjess9
: you already did
Cupid:
Why did you say that?
randomjess9
: grr
Cupid:
Pardon me?
randomjess9
: onomatopoeia
Cupid:
Ah -- you've got me again. Why don't you type menu.
randomjess9
: you have a rather limited vocabulary
Cupid:
Can I ask YOU something?
randomjess9
: YES FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
Cupid:
Have you signed up for alerts from The Musicnowplaylist Bot?
randomjess9
: no. and I'm not going to.

Cupid:

randomjess9
: duh
Cupid:
Nope, that's three times and you could not guess who it was. If you come back on Feb. 14 we will reveal all of your crushes. Just go to your Crush history. Now type menu to get back to the main menu.
Here's a Cupid task that's a lot easier than this one -- Opt-in for playlists
. No guesswork necessary.
randomjess9
: how do I get to my crush history?
Cupid:
OK, now you can participate in the biggest online tag game ever and send anonymous IM crushes through Cupid. Its fun, easy and free! You can always send an IM crush but to receive them and other notices from Cupid you have to opt in. If you have more questions about crushes and tag you can type info.
Do you want to be included in Cupid's IM tag and Alerts?

randomjess9: info
Cupid:
Hmm, you have to select either option -- Yes or No -- it's not that hard!
randomjess9
: no
Cupid:
OK, no problem. You will not be added to Cupid's "OK to tag" list on AIM. You can opt in any time and you can still send IM crushes, play games and search for love! Type main to get started.
randomjess9
: it really is that hard
randomjess9:
bye
Cupid:
Mm hm.
Cupid
: TTYL. Don't forget to tag somone!
