it’s funny. do you ever wonder how well you know the people you regularly speak to online? i got out of my class early today, and headed up to the computer lab. i logged into the computer like normal, and it seems as tho someone installed ICQ on this computer, and left their icq # and password in there. ICQ signed on as normal, and i got a few messages from people. i thought about it for a sec, and then i responded to them just to see if i could pass off being this person. i looked at the details to see who made this account. the girl, or should i say woman is named jenni, from alabama, 28 years old. she’s into scuba diving and other water activities. now, honestly i thought that the person would realize i wasn’t jenni, however, maybe i was wrong. jenni’s icq name is TydyPirate. heres the log:

oh yea. that favor…
The Nameless (11:00 AM) :
lol
TydyPirate (11:03 AM) :
can you please tell jenni to not leave her icq account logged into at school. i am not her. this account just logged in automatically, and you can see how much trouble that would of caused. i just did this to prove a point. if you talk to her soon, tell her the 3rd computer from the wall, in the 2nd row from the back has her account in it. thanks
The Nameless (11:04 AM) :
lol ok will do
TydyPirate (11:04 AM) :
thank you. have a nice day.
after that, i logged off the account, and tried to take her ICQ numbers off this computer, however, ICQ makes you enter the password in order to do that, so i couldn’t help her. what i did do was stop ICQ from loading on startup, so this shouldn’t happen again. see how nice i am? heh
i was going to say you meany, but what you tried to do for her changed my mind:P
thats very nice of you wasnt it
that woman said "hun" a lot. but I’ll give you ten points for being so nice. good boy!
lol, that was a guy that said ‘hun’ alot.
Awww aren’t you such a gentlesoul? ^^;; Nice to see there are still people out there who are willing to care :)
I know what you mean though, it is weird. I guess that’s just the law of the internet though, anonymity. Can’t tell if it truly is the person you think you’re talking too. I mean anyone can social engineer themselves into a different person and none would be the wiser.
There’s some good examples of this in "The Blue Nowhere" by Jeffery Deaver. An excellent read if you ever get the chance :)
See yah around.
