I find it interesting that I have no desire to donate money to my alma mater. None whatsoever. And I'd really like for the alumni association to stop calling me. I feel like I should care more. But I don't.

I don't blame you in the least. I mean, after all, didn't you give them a lot of money when you were a student?

Heh. I keep moving and not giving them my new address. So they send stuff to me in care of my parents. Who get annoyed at the envelopes piling up on their counter. Hee hee. Better them than me!

Dear NCSU Alumni Association,

You may contact yarbiedoll at . . .

Whoops! Guess this is the wrong place to let them know where you are at.

I wouldn't do that. What annoys me is that the only time they know where I am is when they want money. Most of the other correspondence goes to my parent's. Of course, with two alumni in the house, whenever Ronette gets stuff, I wonder where my copy is and vice versa. Now that I think about it, it's the same way with APO stuff, either one of us or none of us get information.

Now that you mention it, they got a lot of money out of me. All I got was a piece of paper and some textbooks that were no longer useful after the class was done.

Yeah! I think that's funny, too! As much as I hate getting it, if Greg gets something, I think 'Hey, where's mine?'

OK. Change of subject. This is partially related, because it has to do with me thinking about where you are. Feel up to giving a few travel pointers? Chris's (Greg's brother) former roommate is planning a visit to SF with her family (parents and younger, college-age sister) this summer. She recently posted about it in her journal. I'm betting you know enough about SF to answer some of her questions before she even anticipates them, because she's never been there. She's got some basic questions like: What are some non-sketchy areas to book hotels, or, What are some wineries in the area? Can I point her your way?

[yarbiedoll.livejournal.com]

Actually, better yet. Here's the link to her entry.

Of course, I've got the tourist stuff down pat.
Is it neebs, I think that's right, I actually owe her a SF 411 from a while back.

No harm in asking...

Would you like to donate money to me?

[yarbiedoll.livejournal.com]

Yep. See above comment. You won the LJ duel. :P

[yarbiedoll.livejournal.com]

(See, actually I already kinda volunteered you. It's because I'm such a good LJ broker. I'm a virtual clearinghouse for my friends list.)

Re: No harm in asking...

[yesimthegirl.livejournal.com]

Does it look like I have a desire to donate money to you? Besides you haven't fulfilled any services for me lately. ;P

*laughing hysterically now*

[yesimthegirl.livejournal.com]

I think APO created a monster out of you.
In leadership, friendship and service.
You've got them all covered as an LJ broker.

[yesimthegirl.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. The protected post. Now I must go friend someone else. Great!

[yarbiedoll.livejournal.com]

Oh. Oops. I didn't notice that. I suck. I bet she's got it locked because she recently had a smarmy ex-boyfriend-type track down her journal. How about I tell her to add you to her list so you can read it? If that's OK with you, of course.

[yesimthegirl.livejournal.com]

That sucks about the ex.
I added her and left a comment, but if you want to put in a good word for me, feel free.

[neebs.livejournal.com]

Yes. He is the king of all jackasses.

Hence the locking.

My point, exactly. ;)
