I hang on IRC alot although I *have* been known to go AWOL for a while... lurking a bit. It helps for those *reality* checks.

AOL Instant Messenger

I like AOL Instant Messenger and your likely to catch me there.

ICQ

I have tons of friends on ICQ... so many that I'm set as "invisible" most of the time because I can't chat with everyone all at once!!! But be sure to stop by and say hi.. and be sure to tell me who you are.. if you don't, I'm likely to ignore you... LOL.

Pagoo Pager

Now.. you can call me!!! for free!! .... this will send your voice mail directly to my computer... COOL! You can get a free 2 week trial of the program. It's very cool, and great for your family, out of town friends, and a safe way to keep in touch with your internet pals :)
