Whoohoo, job interview! Good luck, Stephanie.
Note to self: religion freaky.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm really not sure how to read his tone. As I said, he's perfectly within his rights to decline, and I understand that, but some of it seems overly sarcastic and slightly malicious.
be careful of reading tone in email. However, I think that the landlord is perfectly within his rights to be confused. I don't know why you just didnt' tell you uncle that you had asked and he said no. yes, that would be a lie, but you wouldn't be about to cry right now.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm bad at outright lying. It's a fault of mine.

Ouch. Your uncle really steered you wrong on this one. I think explaining to the landlord, in person if possible, that your uncle pressured you into it and you didn't really think it through would be a very good idea.

see, you're totally good at lying!
In the alternative, I would suggest prefacing this sort of thing with "I have this crazy uncle, and you know how relatives can be. He thinks that ____. I know that we have already come to an agreement, but if I don't ask, he'll be upset, and that's a problem, too. So, I'm asking, and you can say (insert appropriate answer here) now. Thanks!"

Is this the same Uncle that told you to breach the contract on your last lease? Please to not be taking advice from him any longer!
P-C, despite the Kooky French Guy buying you a cookie, your relationship with him is first and foremost a business one. It's not the same as asking a friend for a favor.
