old-timey gchatz w/ joel

while searching my gmail for an answer to the age-old question, "do you remember which one of our friends' cat committed suicide by jumping from a balcony?", i found this:

Joel: want to help pick out a puppy for my mom
me: yes please
(dated 09/30/08)

omg KISMET!

(the answer was gururas, btdubs, although i could've sworn it was adrienne.)

gchatz w/ starla

me: well
tell me what happened
starla: well i am a little fuzzy on how we met
but i found a random drunk girl on the subway
i thought she went to uga

so i wanted to help her

me: ctm
starla: took her back to my apartment
well
she didnt make it back
bc she vommed all over herself
me: oh no
outside or inside?
starla: outside on the sidewalk
me: thats good
starla: in front of my building
so my neighbors called the police
me: omg
did the police come?
starla: yes, then an ambulance
she was dead weight, couldnt walk or talk
i looked super creeps, like a kidnapper
me: lol
starla: bc i didnt know her name
but i didnt want to leave her in the subway
if i was thinking straight, i would have taken her upstairs at houston, rummaged through her phone and called a friend
but in my head since i thought she went to uga
i was like "i'll let this girl sleep on my couch"
DRUNK
so i couldnt get her off the subway at my stop
and so we went down to south ferry where a guy had to help me carry her
a HOT MESS
me: wow
thats an incredible story
starla: yep
the cops were real confused as how i came to have this girl in my possession
my neighbors were like "quit talking"
i guess my story was changing
they were disgusted
bc this chick was throwing up mexican food
lol
me: hahahaha

On a visit to Rome today, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made crucial headway with NATO allies in tackling the ongoing chaos in Libya. Clinton and Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini met with the Libya Contact Group—made up of representatives from 22 countries and six international organizations—for a three-hour summit that resulted in a unanimous decision to set up a fund to back the Libyan rebels. The fund will initially be fed by international donations and oil sales by the opposition, and will eventually draw from Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi’s own frozen assets, including some $30 billion now held in the United States.
