Using People

04 August, 2003 || 11:53

Ok, so the weblog-style thing is to be shortlived; I've gotten complaints.

Convo with Ashley (Imagine a Chinese valley girl, and you've got Ashley):

Me: ...So I'll probably watch that tonight. Inspector Frost is a sort of crotchety British detective. Kind of endearing really.

Her: Wow, like, everybody's been using that word lately.

Me: What, "crotchety" or "endearing"?

Her: "endearing"

Me: Well, duh, look at your friends.

Her: What's that supposed to mean?

Me: Look at your friends. Who are they? Not engineers.

Her: Oh. ... But wait, I do have like five CS friends! And I'm friends with their friends, so it's all good. They're the people I call when I have computer trouble.

Me: Oh. They're the people you use when it suits your purposes.

Her: I don't *use* them! We do lunch. It's a give-and-take relationship.

Me: Goin' in the weblog.

To understand this, you should know that this is the girl who told me point-blank last September that she planned on using me for my car. And if you should see this, "Ashley", yes I am allowed to put this in here; I gave you fair warning, and at least I didn't call you by your real name. Stop whining.

Ph34r my m4d h7m1 sk11z. Or not.

Ok, so now I have weblog-style. Ph34r my m4d h7m1 sk11z. However, have not yet figured out how to get the other entries into weblog-style. Weirdness. And now that I've gone and done this fool thing, I don't know how it archives them... I hope it doesn't just junk them, or turn the whole thing into one *very* long page... We shall see.

Testing...

Grrr. Playing with the html to try and get a weblog-style diary, but is not quite working yet... This is merely a test entry. There's nothing to see here. Really.

AIM Convo with The Bandit

30 July, 2003 || 14:55

Hmmm, three entries in one day. I really need to update this to weblog-style...

AIM convo with my friend The Bandit:

Sfida: oh

Sfida: piece of conversation with mom

Sfida: Mom: "Did you hear about the Baylor case?"

Me: "Baylor case?"

Sfida: Mom: "Yeah, Some basketball player for Baylor disappeared. They haven't found the body yet, but they're charging the roommate with murder. It's weirder than that, though, because the roommate's his best friend, or at least used to be" *Pauses as I give her The Look* "Oh, I probably shouldn't be telling you this, should I?" *Laughs*

The Bandit: well they supposedly found some remains

Sfida: that conversation was several days old

Sfida: but think about it:

Sfida: best friend and roommate kills a guy. now,

The Bandit: for some reason, i can't imagine The Roommate becoming violent enough to hurt a fly

The Bandit: nonetheless hiding a body

Sfida: that's why he'd be perfect for it; nobody would ever suspect him

The Bandit: well, right now The Roommate is the missing roommate. so what does that make you?

Sfida: damn

Sfida: my secret's out
