"I was trying to read your post, but it got kind of vladicu at the end."
It's so mind-breaking to attempt to read his stuff. There are real words in there, and sometimes recognizable sentence structure...so I spend time trying to make sense of it...and fail. I can't even look at what he writes for amusement value, it's so bad...
That's what I love about that crazy son of Romanian tyrant.

Everything has its purpose and manifests in its own time.
But it is still frustrating. I know how much of a stress the east coast/west coast thing is for you, so I certainly hope it works out for the best. You don't need the stress of school and the external stress working on you at the same time.

Which isn't to say I am specifically wanting you to be slightly overweight and naked just that I don't mind a little weight in a naked individual. But not too much. So chocolate binging is good, especially naked. But I am not saying I am looking for you to get naked, that just about any naked person is good....perhaps I should shut up.

Lately, my partner has been a bit more positive about the opportunities to explore his interests in the NY area, although I know a big part of him still wants to move to the west coast. For the time being, it may work out the best for him too.
Plus it would give me the opportunity to stalk Freehold and make sure he's not a sockpuppet.

I am happy to hear he has been more positive about the options. That is a big step. I hope it works out for him as well.

Hmm. So Freehold came through and posted, but avoided any mention of this. Clearly it hits too close to the truth. ;)

Would it be a sockpuppet if it is an expression of an alternate personality?

You don't remember? They jammed all these people's heads into microwaves then set them on high for 25 minutes. The whole thing scrambled their music and microphone set up, causing them to sound amazing! You should definitely YouTube it to relive that amazing experience...
