Well Chris, within the past month or so, you purchased to buy Modnation Racers for the PSP even though you already own the exact same game for the PS3. You purchased Lego Rock Band, Beatles Rock Band (two versions of the exact same game, again?? And you're probably buying tons of add-on songs for both as well), several blu-ray movies (which are like $30 a piece), several PSN cards, Resident Evil 5, several games for your DS, several accessories for your DS, and more...

You just told me the other day you bought a fan for your PS3 so that you can leave it on all the time, but from the way you describe it, it sounds like your computer is having trouble booting because it's overheating. You could have spent the money on a new fan for your computer instead. Actually, considering how dirty your house is (which I know from watching your house tour), I'd be willing to bet the fan works fine, but your computer's vents are all clogged with dust and grime, and so it still overheats anyway. Even if your computer is broken and can't be repaired, you could have spent a couple hundred dollars on a basic new computer that you could use to do what needs to be done. But instead, you have been dropping money left and right on video games just as much recently as you ever have, despite your claim to me that you are "over" your addiction. (Ironically, I was just listening to a recording of a talk between you and that Alec Bayson Larry guy from months ago on the cwcki where he asks why you can't spend a little money to fix your computer and you said you can't afford one. So you've known you need to fix your computer for almost a year, and yet when you do get the money... you just buy a replacement PS3 instead, and your computer is still screwed up.) But even forgetting all that, I don't get why you can't upload my video from your PS3.


 * SIGH* ...I'm just disappointed that you could spend all your money on video games, but you can't be bothered to keep in working order the equipment you need to give the girl you love the things that will make her happy. Now I can't talk to you tonight, and I can't have a video of you to watch. But I bet you'll be playing video games tonight, no problem. Meanwhile, I have nothing tonight. I know you have at least one PSEye, if not more; don't those record directly to your PS3? Why can't you use that to make the video for me? Or if Youtube is the problem, you can just upload the videos to mediafire or something and send me the link, or even email them to me if they're small enough.

Well, please upload the video as soon as you are able, and keep making videos for every day. Luckily, I probably won't have to wait long, right? Even if your computer is toast for good, it only took you a couple of days to gather up the $300 for a new PS3, so I'm sure you can do the same again and get a new computer as quickly. So I'll be able to see the new videos soon!! I actually had a great new idea for a video. I want you to go on a nature hike for me!! Record yourself as you go on a hike in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I'd LOVE to see you out in nature, enjoying God's creation! That video will probably be quite a bit longer than your others, because I want to see as much of your hike as possible. It'd be great to see like an hour of it or more. (I guess you can't use your PSeye for that one, obviously, but you'll still be able to show it to me as soon as you upload it from your camera, or preferably just send it to me like I said.) What do you think? Today's video is the Clyde video and tomorrow is the Beatles song video, but you could do the hike on Thursday! Make sure your camera's battery is fully charged before you go! Oooh, I'm so excited to see you show me how buff you are!!

XO XO XO XO XO

Chris, where have you been? I understand that your computer is giving you trouble right now, but I know you can send email through your PS3, and it's kind of rude of you to just not write me all day. Have you just been playing video games all day?

Hey Chris!

Well, I hope you can get your computer working again, but it sounds like the prognosis isn't good. I thought you took a bunch of computer classes in high school and college, you always talk about being good with computers. You know what you could always do to get the money quickly for a new PC? You could sell your shiny new PS3. I know, I know, you don't want to part with it, but the fact is, selling that thing would easily get you the money you need for a new computer right away - so it's a choice between continuing to play the same old video games you've already been playing for months, or being able to give your girlfriend the videos she asks for and making her happy.

Did you try to upload the videos to mega-upload or mediafire or some other upload site like that? Try doing that and send them to me that way.

Anyway, I'll list out a few ideas for videos. I want to see all of these:

-You have Cherokee ancestry, right? Do a presentation of the history of the Cherokee, and their interaction with the European colonists. You could even dress up in a Cherokee costume! -Sing me a Frank Sinatra song, like My Way. Sinatra was so romantic! -Do a presentation on the history of the Chandler family, like a family tree sort of thing. You say you are related to Ann Boleyn, right? That's amazing, most people I know can't trace their families back more than three or four generations. Show me a plot of how your bloodline traces back to her, and all the other significant family members you have! -Go to the dollar store and get one of those cheap bubble-blower pipes that look like you're smoking a pipe, but then you just blow bubbles. Then, put on your robe and glasses and sit in a chair and talk about your opinions on the economy, act all cultured and dignified, and blowing bubbles. (It's from an old Simpsons episode where Bart did it, I used to think it was so funny and cute, I'd love to see you parody it!) -Make a Fred Flinstone costume, and sing the Flinstones theme song for me. I loved Flinstones as a kid.

So that's the ideas I have right now, do them in any order. But I hope to see them really, really soon. And I hope to be able to IM with you again soon too, because I miss talking to you... :(

Yay!! I'm glad you got things fixed with your computer. I was worried, I didn't know how long it would be before we could talk again. I'll be online around 8:30, so I look forward to talking tonight!!

Hey Chris.

Honey, I'm so sad right now. I've been crying off and on all day. There's something I think I need to tell you that I've been hiding, because I was ashamed, and scared, and it just hurt too much to bring up.

I was once pregnant, with Lars' child, back when we were together. When I first found out I was pregnant, I was so happy. I thought Lars and I were going to be the perfect family. But he wasn't happy about it when I told him. He was furious. He didn't want to "be no baby daddy", he said. We argued back and forth on it for weeks. He wanted me to get an abortion so he wouldn't have to deal with raising a child. I was as scared as he was to have a child - neither of us were really ready, we both had too much living to do yet. But I told him that while I support a woman's right to choose, I didn't think I could honestly do it myself and live with myself. I couldn't abort my own child. I told him I was going to have the baby.

And then, he... he did something terrible to me. He slipped some kind of potion into my coffee one morning. I don't know what it was, some medicine concoction. Parts of his family come from Haiti, they practice some kind of voodoo herbal medicine and herbology, stuff like that... I think that must be where he got his recipe from. But what he gave me, it forced me to miscarry my child. He forcefully aborted my child. OUR child. I went to the police at the time, and the hospital, but there was nothing the doctors could do and no evidence left behind - the police said I was out of luck. There was nothing they could do.

I thought I was past all this. But this weekend is the anniversary of when it happened, and every year when this time comes I just get so emotional and despondent. I just feel so sad and alone, thinking about the child that could be in my arms right now, if not for Lars McNulty.

That's part of why I want this hiking video so badly, Chris. When I was a little girl, my parents used to take me hiking on the Blue Ridge trails all the time. Those are the happiest memories of my life. I want to see you doing it, so the love of my life can take my mind off my troubles. Thank you so much for doing it for me, Chris. This means the world to me. I don't know what I would do without you being there for me. Maybe I should have brought this all up when we were chatting yesterday, because I was feeling really badly when you said you weren't sure if you wanted to do the hike for me, but I guess I didn't feel prepared at the time to bring it up. This is a topic I never talk about with people, so I was scared to do it then. But I'm taking the leap and telling you now because I trust you and you deserve to have this honesty from me.

Well, I'll be on later tonight, so I hope you'll be on too and we can talk. Love you.

Hey Chris. Not much time to talk right now, I'll try to be on tonight to IM with you but I'm not sure if I'm going to be home. But I'll try to be so be on around 8:30 for me like usual and wait a few minutes or so to see if I'm on. I'm glad you're learning more about Cherokee history and its relation to the Chandler family history, and that you're doing the hiking video for me today. What video did you make yesterday, then? Anyway, hope to talk to you tonight.

Jackie@undefined

October 10, 2010 - 7:26pm

Well, I wish that talking to your girlfriend was more important than watching your little family guy cartoons, especially considering we haven't had a live chat since I poured my heart out to you about my miscarriage. But whatever, I guess we'll talk tomorrow when Seth MacFarlane isn't there to take your attention from the woman you love.

Speaking of money, what happened to that $130 or so that you said you had saved up for our date? Couldn't you just use that money on your motherboard? Considering that fixing your computer is directly related to making videos for me, I would be fine with that. Well, talk to you tomorrow, hopefully. I've got some more video ideas for you.

Jackie@undefined

October 12, 2010 - 10:31am

Hey Chris!!

So as promised, I have a few more video ideas for you to do. They are as follows:

-I want to see a video of you pretending you are running for President of the United States of America. Pretend you are on stage, speaking to the American public, and detail for them what your political platform would be, what you would do for the country once elected to office. Oh, and I'd also really love to see you do a mock debate against your opponent in the video. Maybe it would be Reldnahc? Or another foe of yours you'd like to defeat in a Presidential debate? You choose who. But you could use jump cuts in the video so that you could play both people in the debate! -Do you remember Muppet Babies? I loved that show when I was a kid, I zoned out for hours in front of the tv watching that. Anyway, I'd love to see you do a puppet show for me, called "Sonichu Babies". Just make some sock puppets of your Sonichu characters and have them act out a scene. You choose the scene and story for the play! And I'd love if you sang the Muppet Babies theme song at the end of the video (and had all the puppets "sing" too), except of course replace the word "Muppet" with "Sonichu". -My aunt was telling me the other day of something really sweet her husband did for her years ago when she was pregnant with my cousin. My aunt was sore and in pain for a lot of her pregnancy, because carrying around a giant fetus in your womb is backbreaking work and what not, so her husband actually put on a false pregnancy weight that he wore around his stomach and wore it sometimes, to show that he shared her pain and that they were in this pregnancy together. It was just the sweetest gesture. I'd love it if you made a video where you strapped some pillows under your shirt, or some other kind of weight, and showed yourself enduring the stress of pregnancy. It would be such a romantic gesture! And after the baby was born, my aunt's husband wore this strap on his chest that he could attach milk bottles to, so he could actually "breast feed" the baby, so to speak. That way my aunt didn't have to do it all the time. Do you have like a doll or something that you could pretend to be a baby? I'd love to see you pretend that you were breastfeeding our baby. I think it's such a turn-on when a man wants to be domestic like that... :) (You don't need the milk-bottle strap or anything, just pretend you're breast-feeding.) -Lastly for now: I have a video that I'd like you to direct at Lars, to get back at him for his recent actions. Let me explain: Lars wrote me again to say how gay you are. I want you to make a video where you talk about how straight you are. In fact, here's what I want you to do: Lars and I used to do a lot of webcam chatting before we moved in together. He would sit at his computer with his dumb bandana and hat on, drinking shitty drinks like mint juleps and what not. I don't have a webcam :( but I'd like you to "pretend" to be on webcam with me, and mock him at the same time. So here's what I'd like: Do you have a bandana and a fedora, or some other kind of brimmed hat? I want you to wrap the bandana around your head, and then wear the hat on top of that. And I want the video to be of you sitting at your computer (position the camera so it's facing you from the computer's point of view, like a webcam would), and then sit and talk about how you are straight and why there's no way you could be gay. And also, I would like you to go buy a bottle of Kahlua White Russian. It's a kind of sweet alcoholic drink, tastes very chocolate-like, and its really inexpensive, I really like it. Go buy a bottle at the liquor store, and then drink from the bottle while you're doing your video. (it'd be kind of funny if you got a little drunk too, I've wondered for a while what it would look like to see you drunk. Don't overdo it, just get yourself nice and buzzed.) Anyway, it'd be hilarious to see you making your straight-video while mocking Lars and his stupid behavior! I can't wait!

So there you go. You're doing the pull-up video tonight, which I can't wait to see, but I think I'd like to see the Lars fake-webcam video tomorrow night, and then you can just pick any order for the other three. Oh, and I also still want to see that Chandler Family Tree presentation where you show how your noble line is descended all the way from Daniel Weston and Ann Boleyn, too! Like, show the exact path that your line takes directly from them. Okay, can't wait to see them!!

Love,

Jackie

P.S. I'll be online at the usual time tonight too, so I hope we can have another chat!!@undefined
