I know, I know. The big appeal of Craig's List is that it is free. You can write whatever you want without censors or pay and therefore, you end up with a lot of nutters. But for real - in attempting to look for an apartment, I would love love love to get in contact with someone at least marginally normal so that I stop getting emails that (a) are scams or be (b) I can't tell scam-wise, but are like this:
"I know that out there in the world of evil doers there are still God fearing individuals and i hope that you will turn out to be one of them since i am trusting you not to let me down.I As a man of God will stick to my words and terms of agreement and i hope you will honor
our agreement at the end of the day and that putting a blind trust in you will not make me
regret.I EXPECT YOU TO STICK TO YOUR WORDS. I am putting everything in the hand of God,so please do not let me and my wife down."
This, in response to an email I sent inquiring into how long the lease was.

Have you seen my fox?
Adventures in Cupcaketopia has received some exciting feedback: promises of transcontinental flights to come visit me *coughcupcakeplacescough*, thoughts that I was writing actual reviews, and even someone threatening that I need to get a real job. Which brings me to big update number 1.
I have a real job.
It hasn't started yet - look forward to March 13th for more news on that front - but it's my first foray into the paid world of politicizing the youth.
In small update number 2, my internet has been buggin' out like crazy. For example, I haven't been able to sign into this blog for days because of, as far as I can tell, nothing. More frustrating however, is the innumerable amount of other important things I can't do. Don't get me wrong. When I want to do some mind-numbing facebook surfing (facesurfing?) there is, of course, no problem. Or if I want to stay up until the wee hours watching Firefly? Fine. But when I want to do something trivial like, you know, send in a resume or look at grad schools or - most importantly - upload photos to facebook, the damn interweb seems to buckle under it's own weight. I know, I know - it's not selectively hating on me. But it sure seems like it.
So in short, if you did something like travel through Ireland with me, or go to inauguration with me, or some other such nonsense, and you have been waiting less and less patiently to see the photographic evidence, rest assured: I have absolutely no idea when that will happen. But feel good: not getting the pictures uploaded time after time after time is WAY more annoying on my end.
I didn't even mention the best part of my web-woes: My fox has gone missing. Not my Firefox, mind you, that's still here. I'm using it right now! But my Firefox icons - the little orange fox wrapped around a blue world, you know? - have gone missing. From the whole computer. They have been replaced by mostly clear question marks. Seriously. What once was
has become
Just weird.
