A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I continue to reach the end of my netflix with shows. I only have 3 or 4 more Dr. Who eps. I am watching Psych from the beginning, which I have never seen, but it is not like the other shows with the long storylines and continuity. I think I will pick FNL back when I finish Who. Maybe pick up where I left off with Dexter also.

Still have not been able to watch anymore of AHS, need to do that. I need some creepy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The problem is that so many people suck donkey balls.

Absolutely. But it used to be so much easier to ignore the ones I didn't know!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Actual Teen vs Adult Teen.

Their patron saint is Bianca Lawson, who, apparently, has been playing a teenager 13 years now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Upside is, these people are putting names and faces to lots of stupid stuff, and if you're bored enough, you can get some of them in trouble.

I like it when the douches self-identify and tell you where to find them.

Julie Benz was playing a high schooler as recent as 2005, which made her...33? Admittedly they go on to age dramatically, but it's not like the characters spend any time at 33--they go from "teen" to "crone" in typical bad makeup fashion.

Stacey Dash is my all time "no, you're fucking with me!" since she's two years older than me, and was flawless as a teen at 32.

I emailed someone a list of names and asked for their phone numbers and email addresses. I was given back their street addresses. My reply was "So phone and email is out of the question?" I mean, that's pretty much the rest of the address record. His reply? "I did not read you [sic] email that closely". So...do I ask again for the info I require, or do I guess he's got the question and thinks he can supply?

My former manager asked for all my timesheets since 5/26 (after admitting she threw away the detailed project time breakdown I gave her without submitting it to anyone, including the PM). Since all of my timesheets are complete up to 6/30, I don't even know what's going on. Moving out of that team has made things really confusing. I'm not getting explanations anymore. just terse requests and yeses and noes.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I would think that would be implied, but the fact that this person couldn't read the original question correctly makes me doubt. The right thing for this person to have done was "I'll get that info to you shortly" or actually include the correct info with their "I am a moron" email.

Maybe follow up with "Okay, could you get me what I need by such and such a time?".

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Timelies! I'm back in the land of internet. CJ and I spent the weekend with some friends at their cabin in Wyoming. So far away from civilization, so freaking relaxing.

It was also heartbreaking in that the forest is mostly dead due to beetle kill. The forest service has dropped a bunch of the dead trees, but left them on the ground. It was hard to look in any direction and not see more dead trees than healthy ones.

If I think someone is an idiot, I always reply an extra time and extra clearly.

If I'm referring to "Hueys" in a document, and it's clear from context that they are small military helicopters, should I explain what they are any more than that? [link]

I think I'll go with a "thank you, am tenterhooked until your response" sort of a reply that assumes the info is coming.

But why the fuck would he even assume I wanted street addresses? There were only two sentences in the paragraph. What would imply I wanted to MAIL them anything? He is oddly blatant about brushing people off. Or, well, me.

Because books.

If it's clear in context, I think you're fine, Jesse.

Heh.
