September 05, 2007: "google chat is addicting"
i've been writing about existentialism. in the french language, yet, somehow, even the language of love can't make me love the topic. so since i'm quite confident none of you are interested, here's a bit of an online conversation i had with ali. i know, i know, posting personal conversations is so... bland, but (1) i thought i would distract myself from existentialism by blogging and (2) the conversation blatantly showcases our idiocies, and i invite you to laugh at us.

seriously, what better reason do you need?

me: i think someone is selling a canteloupe 1
Ali: WITW
   WHAT IN THE WORLD
   I am coining that now
   BUT SERIOUSLY
   let's sell a pineapple
   for $500
   and tell people the inside is gold
me: at first i glanced at that message and thought you wrote "tell people that god is inside"

me: i'm still laughing at the cantelopes
me: i haven't decided how i want to spell that yet
Ali those people are so clever
me: how do you spell it?
Ali canteloupe?
   I feel like there's a u
Ali but maybe not
Ali and firefox says no
me: are the british responsible for this?
Ali perhaps
   you know
   them and their melons

okay, so i just remembered it's "cantaloupe."

i still feel the british are responsible for this.

1 i was referring to etsy.com, online store for homemade goods and evidently, a prime interweb location to sell your cantaloupes. literally. why do i sound dirty?

Ohh, I never knew about that etsy site xD Anyway, lmfao, a cantaloupe? ONGZ! I'll pay $1000 for it!! Hehehe.

ahh i love cantaloupe lol you got me in the mood for it but too bad i ate the last one .. like.. two days ago

Ahh, French the language of love. Sadly I am still doing horrible in that class.

People are actually selling cantaloupes online. 'Course I like eating watermelon more...I used to think a cantaloupe was a watermelon except it wasn't ripe yet...

"You know them and their melons", that sentence is making me crack up. Since Canada follows British spelling (usually) I get angry with adding the extra "u" in my words, especially since spell checkers usually say its a misspelled word.

Hey. I don't know if you remember me or not, but I remember you. I used to own vilegenocide.org among some other domains back in the day =)

Thst's a very random conversation, lol. Selling cantaloupes? Why does that sound so familiar... I can't remember what one looks like though =[ dude, to sell a pineapple claiming there's gold inside it, i think you might need proof... otherwise, you should do it and some dumb loser will actually fall for it. Ha.

I would very much like a pineapple with gold inside, thank you. Just um.. for free?:D

Take care, xox

And ps. Thanks for such a nice comment Hugs. My first day went fine and I hope its all going to be a new beginning in my life and all that shit that makes these things sound immensely more appealing than they were before. how was YOUR first day??

[CJ] Saturday, September 8th

lol! You totally had me confused on the spelling. I knew how to spell it before but after I read that I couldn't remember it either.

Writing about existentialism for a paper I guess? We had to do that in english 10 and also History 11. Mine was brutal... learning and disecting not only existentialism in the 1600s and 1700s but also dissecting ONTOLOGICS in the 16-1700s... now theres something i never want to learn about again.

HAhaha, that's funny =] Cantaloupes, how unconventional!
And existentialism ! I studied that, it was awesome. (By studied, I mean, our teacher made us read an existentialist play and then come up with our own, but still.) Good luck with that then =]

I LOVE cantalopes! Mm, delicious. I would buy them off Etsy, I would.

[Exene] Friday, September 7th

I need to sell some shit there too. God inside a pineapple would sell for billions if you could prove it.

Three letters: L O L. Some conversations were just meant to be documented. I would vote for that one being one of them.

And thanks for the congratulations and all your nice comments =). You were ABSOLUTELY right about the boyfriend, *ahem* fiance and the party!
