So, for all of you hungry Ham-readers out there who never clicked on the link from that link to this one . . . wait, then you probably aren't reading this right now. . .

Hi Natasha!

I'm gonna go back to my old blog.

Thanks for coming with me to Roosie Isle.

Tram it!,

WAY over my head.

They just gave me a [fruit].

The people I work for just gave me a [fruit].

I used to be one of those people that didn't have a cell phone.



Hello! I'm in too deep here.

Can I send them an SMS message telling them that?

(I didn't know what an SMS message was until I read the instruction manual for this [fruit].)


Help!

PIRIOTS 1-9-06

RANDOM ENCOUNTERS: 1.9.06

1.)Kate Nowlin

Collision Time/Location: Around 8:10pm. Botanica bar on Houston between Mott and Mulberry.

And I know her from: She was a year ahead of me at SMU, and also a theatre major.

Collision Time/Location: Around 8:15pm. Botanica bar on Houston between Mott and Mulberry.

And I know them from: They went to SMU, too.

Did I speak to them: yes!

My general feeling about this encounter: Okay this night was insane and blew my PIRIOTS mind. I went to meet Eric and Kelley at Botanica. They had called other friends: Steve, Andres, and Sharon and they were all there. All of them were all there when I got there, and they were talking to Kate Nowlin, who was there with her husband visiting their friend who was the bartender. Then Jorge and Brian showed up. They were going to meet up with Andrew at the bar next door, but decided to first get a drink at Botanica. They didn't know we were all going to be there. It was perfect.

Any Exciting News or Gossip? No, except that all of my friends from college are mind readers.

Casually looking for a new apartment. . .

CRAIGSLIST AD:

Private room available in true 2 bedroom apartment for "uncool' woman

OK... I'm boring, middle-aged, totally un-cool, dependable, responsible, sane, and absolutely comfortable with being all of the above. And I have an extra bedroom available in a 2 bedroom apartment which I would like to share with someone similarly un-cool but stable and responsible. Please be beyond the partying and drugging/drinking stage. Also, no divas or drama queens -- you'd be way too cool for me. Females only.

Bedroom is approximately 9 X 14 with window and closet. Nice area. Elevator building (no doorman). Minimally furnished. Near East River on Avenue C on Lower East Side. Available immediately.

Rent is $1100 (one month's rent plus one month's security). References please. Please reply with a little bit about yourself (are you gainfully employed? in what field?, when are you looking to move? short-term or long-term?)

Best wishes to all for a great 2006 !

JEN:

Hi -

I'm Jen.

I'm 28. I'm a musician/performer with a steady day job at a Hedge Fund. I don't smoke. I'm not into partying/drugging. I do have an occasional drink.

Unfortunately, however, I am really cool.

Let me know when I can come take a look at the room.

Thanks,
Jen
