Can't imagine that being too difficult.

Angry homeless man at my 3 o'clock grabbed me on my way home. Almost grabbed my chocolate bar too, but I shook him off.

This city is falling apart, first I dream it floods, then I walk to the end of the road to find a busted water main (though as I live between two water ways, I thought it was flooding!) I snapped that on video;


To make matters worse, one of our power substations decided to set fire too.

Been invited to go to some nightclub tomorrow... The friend who invited me is all "bro let's get super drunk and pick up chicks!!". I don't feel like this is the kind of shit I want to do anymore. Still, I'll go, but I'm actually a bit anxious about it. Gonna try to keep my cool and not act like an anxiety-compensating douchebag for once.

It actually is when you are using the Bible. There is very little in the New Testament than can really be interpreted to mean that Jesus was not God or in some way more than human. Erhman wants to have the Bible but not have a divine or even quasi-divine Jesus (or even God), which is basically impossible. The only way is to reject most of the contents of the Bible, including the letters of Paul which are almost certainly from the 40s-50s (at least the ones that are by Paul himself, not Ephesians, Colossians, or the pastorals). He does history and does it quite well I think, but he has to reject so much theology in the process.

This does not negate his scholarship and work. I very much respect his historical research and writing despite the fact that I disagree with him on interpretations and even some of the details of his historical analysis.

Drink enough to get loose and then cut yourself off. I'm sure you already know this, but yeah. I hate going to clubs too, but I go almost every time I'm invited just because. Actually had a good time here and there, even if the people, music, and food is shitty.

[Kathy]

I've never was drunk. Only once I had like a bottle of wine.

I would but I'm on meds. So no.

[Kathy]

When someone gives you an email address to write to how long does it take to assume that person is simply ignoring your letters? 1 week should be enough, right?

[X-Vector]

Alcohol + dope =



Voll auf die Plomben!

Ouch. Unless you have a small IQ, clubs are an assured bad time if you have to go sober. I think it's because alcohol kills all your brain cells.

[Sangman]

Meh I've been to clubs, having fun and not being drunk while I was abroad. I was completely relaxed, confident and mellow then. But it's all been going downhill since I came back, not sure why. I think living at home surrounded by negative people turns me into a lazy, bitter, antisocial ass.

Still I'm going, maybe I'll meet someone else who is completely out of place.

[Jimmy]

You could have also had the "I'm never seeing any of these people ever again." attitude.

1 week should be, for emails, yeah. Of course, depending on lots of things, it could just mean they haven't gotten to it yet.

[Kathy]

"Haven't gotten to it" should only apply if internet was down(for a week!) or something like that. Knowing that someone is going to write there and not bother to check is simply not caring. I think I should hold my horses before assuming anything, but it is still depressing.

Yeah, or the "I'm a foreigner - people will be interested in me no matter what I do!" thing.

Depending the content of the email and the person, they may want to take their time to respond.

I usually do reply almost immediately to emails (or at least with in a day of seeing it) but there have been times where I let it sit in my inbox for a few days before mulling over a response. It all depends.


Of course, I also have been sending resumes and cover letters everywhere and I have gotten a very small percentage of responses for those which is highly frustrating.

I think "do you have a jabber account?" or "Is it the right email address?" questions are easily enough to answer.

well, then, you are being ignored. That sucks.

[Kathy]

I still have several days before the full week, though.

[Sangman]

Our designated driver didn't want to go anymore all of a sudden, so we got drunk in a pub instead (even though I'm on meds... probably not the best idea, but I haven't puked my guts out yet so it's probably fine) and I spent the night at a friend's house. Had been a while since I did that... it was good times!

puking your guts out probably has very little to do with it
more like pumping too many depressants or some other chemical imbalance into your brain and causing it to shut down resulting in a coma
good luck and hope to see you soon

[Sangman]

Sounds like fun.

What kind of meds?

I'm looking forward to playing your stuff. Brainwash Facility is my favourite among the 2012 releases.

Well... I was wrong. That person answered. Let's see how it goes from here.

[Master Fibbles]

So, I think I am about to be a victim of a scam. I responded to an ad on Craigslist and the person replied right away (which, honestly, isn't a red flag, but is shocking) and wants me to ship packages to a foreign address that he has forwarded to me. My roommate tells me that the post office warns about a scam where people use stolen credit cards to buy stuff and link it to an address which then ships it out of the US. And they send counterfeit money orders as "payment" to the person who works for them.

I need to find a way to answer this email in such a way that gets information and confirms that this person is real but does not make me lose the potential job (if it is real). I'm glad I have a roommate who pays more attention than I do.


Yeah, a real estate company ordering electronics and clothing? It sounds like I'd be doing his personal shopping which makes no sense. And the fact that I can't find this guy online (LinkedIn or anything) and he never gave a company name is just suspicious.
