"i invited oliver xymoron. he's trouble."

About two weeks ago, I was falsely accused of sending a transparently
anonymous email to someone to try and stir up trouble.

But I'm much better at causing trouble than that. Witness: in the last
couple weeks, I've forged many much correspondencen. And fooled
everyone. Close friends, paranoid enemies, total strangers, all
oblivious to my scheming, despite my occassional hints and clues.

But the best fooled was my good friend Star5, who invited me to SF0
and has regretted it ever since. She well knows I'm not to be trusted
but still suspected nothing. And when she finishes reading this she'll
probably try to strangle me.

Not only did I compose and send many of the messages that "mean
jeannine" wrote to Star5 while she was sitting at the same table, but
I did so while we were working on other secret tasks (like "Fake
Real Jobs"). Jeannine even collaborated with Star5 on "Things We Bury
For Our Friends", the items for which I buried some time in advance so
that I could arrange to be present for their unearthing.

And finally, Jeannine got herself invited to Star5's little Memorial
Day shindig with most of the Minneapolis SF0 folks. Unfortunately she
couldn't make it..

hey! you're in minneapolis.. how did you end up on sf0? ... and do i

know you? or do you just know my hair?



---- mean jeannine on May 16 2:26 pm----



hi! i just know your hair, its hard to miss! i saw a link to sfo from

one of my friends on livejournal. she lives in san francisco (oakland

actually).



 ---- star5  on May 16 3:00 pm----



neat. i spent 3 months in sf.. got back a few weeks ago.. i've been

getting a bunch of friends here to join.. let me know if you ever want

to collaborate. you're the first bartpa person i know here.



 ---- mean jeannine on May 16 3:19 pm----



i was in san francisco last november! and i see you've got a ton of

minneapolis friends playing.



i was looking at this bike race task (i want to race on my unicycle)

but it needs two players. do you have a car? also i like this buried

treasure one, which needs a stranger, stranger.



 ---- star5  on May 17 10:11 am----



yes i do have a car. and yes i like the buried treasure one too.. hm.

but for us to be strangers, we'd have to do the buried treasure one

before bike race..



 ---- mean jeannine on May 17 10:35 am----



i was thinking the same thing! and i was thinking about it while i was

running errands this morning, so i found some treasure for you too! i've got

a temp agency thingy to go in a bit, i'll try to bury it on my way.

i'm afraid i don't have a shovel or anything tho, hmmm....



 ---- star5  on May 17 10:35 am----



yay! okay.. perhaps i'll try to find some treasure to bury for you as

well..



 ---- mean jeannine on May 17 10:40 am----



is this fued between your friend oliver and kelly for real or is it a

big joke?



he invited me to collaborate on something but i don't want to get in

the middle of anything. at least not yet!



 ---- star5  on May 17 10:51 am----



it's all in fun. we think she's cool.. and he likes to mess with

people. partially cuz she had the top spot for so long.



 ---- mean jeannine on May 17 1:10 pm----



ok, i buried it. bring a camera, because i completely forgot to take

any pictures.



go to humbolt and the mall behind the library

stand on the northwest corner

walk west until you get to the no parking sign

turn north, walk towards the fence

look for an arrow made of white stones

it points to the treasure!



(i hope its still there, i totally felt like people were watching me

bury it!!)



 ---- star5  on May 17 3:53 pm----



got it! awesome! and perfect colors for me right now. thanks! and yes

i took photos.



you should now start the task.. and write what you did with

instructions and such.. and invite me and i can upload photos.



---- mean jeannine on May 18 12:51 pm----



when's a good time for you for a unicycle race? this weekend might

work, but i might be ready helping my sis with wedding stuff.



and i also wrote to kelly to ask about the feud but she didn't write

back which gives me a strange vibe.



---- star5 on May 18 2:12 pm----



this weekend is going to be pretty hectic for me.. but most anytime

next week would work..



as far as the feud goes.. well i know originally when oliver posted

the ransom note that started it all, she wrote to him and said she

almost fell off her chair laughing.. and something about asking him to

marry her.. not seriously of course, but it seemed that she was highly

amused. i suppose it's possible that she's gotten annoyed since then,

but as far as i'd guess, i think it's all a game.. but who knows?



---- mean jeannine on May 21 4:31 pm----



my weekend has been super busy too. i might have a free night shift

this week, but i think i'll already have a day job starting monday!



---- star5 on May 21 10:54 pm----



well, let me know when works for you.. i'm fairly open..



---- mean jeannine on May 26 3:38 pm----



looks like i might have all of monday off, is that good for you?



ps: your new icon is hysterical!



---- star5 on May 26 3:47 pm----



i'm having a vegan potluck picnic (minnesota style) on monday. you're

welcome to join us if you'd like. it's going to be at minnehaha park

(unless rain). there will likely be a fair amount of sf0 peoples

there. we could probably do a race somewhere by the park. it's from

3pm until we get tired. you're welcome to bring something to share if

it's vegan (though not everyone coming is vegan or anything), but

don't feel you have to.. there will be tons of food.



if you're interested and able to get there and want to make sure we're

still there or can find us, you can give me a call.. 612-xxx-xxxx. (my

real name is xxxxxx).



if not monday, then let me know when..

(Star5: I hope you still enjoy the bowls, I spent a long while looking for
something you might like.)
