Nice that you did a back up recording, mine worked perfectly but Daco tried to do an audio visual capture but it failed, he only found out at the end.

Gotta correct one mistake up there - Jen is a very shy artsy friend of mine.

My girlfriend is Rebecca, and she's been in a few videos as well.

Just to make that distinction!

I'm surprised I didn't catch that first, guess I just wasn't paying close attention. But yeah,
Alex's Girlfriends: Rebecca and FT
Alex's Friends: Vaughn and Jen
People Alex wants to Hit: Evanna Lynch, Sanakan, and Bill Kaulitz...also the kindergarten next door.

Just so that's all cleared up.

My jumped briefly about three times, but otherwise is fine. If you get time to get round to them, I'll post your's and Daco's recording.

"Tisk! How inconsiderate of you. I think you mean tomorrow."
*whispers*
"Ohh, ok.. the whole timezone thing. Righty"

AAAL is so damn hard to miss when you're at GMT+8/9. You wake up then hopefully remember.

Um, 1700 EST is NOT 0100 GMT

1700 = 5 pm

0100 GMT = 8 pm EST (2000 EST)


Also, it's 10 minutes to 5, and no one else is in the chat. Boo hoo.

Uhh...that's because it's not on at 1700 EST, it's on at 2000 EST, or 8pm. Dunno where he got the 1700 from.
