i just had the strangest conversation with a random stranger

a few days ago someone added me on MSN and i clicked on 'accept' so that i could figure out who it was because i couldnt actually tell if it was anyone i knew from the address (linglingyanyan@hotmail.com) and since i did know some 'lings', i figured maybe it was someone from RGS.

anyway today this linglingyanyan person started a conversation with me:

(by the way, this took ages to type because she used lots of chinese emoticons that had to be retyped - thanks to Tie Han and Babelfish! i will do some translation since there is some chinese and hanyu pinyin)
