clutch the pearls
Yesterday, I posted a roommate want ad to craigslist, and was pleasantly surprised to get a lot of responses from some folks who sounded pretty awesome overall. I'm setting up a bunch of interviews for this weekend and next week, which is excellent too.

But as we all know there are crazies on the internet. Evidence? I got yours right here.

This little gem popped into my inbox last night.

Subject: IM INTERESTED

I was perusing through available rooms on craigslist and found your ad.
I would LOVE for you to give me a place to accomplish many a great thing, for such an affordable rate.
My name is Z-- B-------*, but i also go by:
Eris Incarnate
Lisa Frank
&Miss-Information
I am an eighteen year old person currently studying various mediums of Why at the New School of Love
(although i've already been kicked out twice)
I have just given notice of departure to the landlord of the apartment i've been figuring within, which was located in New Bedford MA,
also known as the Wailing City.
I like to stick my fingers through all sorts of mediums, including melody, color, and SEEM-stressing.
The project i've been holding to biggest consequence is an orchestra i'm putting together entitled:
THE GOLDEN APPLE CORE
Eris Incarnate
&
The Destructo Team

Everyone is invited, and we're going to paint the big apple GOLDEN.
Please get back to me, for although i don't mind the sporadic nature of couch hopping, it doesn't allow for me to have many of my favorite resources near my hands.

I'd be looking to move in ASAP!!
Also i figured i'd note that my mom's got the rent under wraps in accordance to due pennance.


I know they don't really do many letters/emails, but this is seriously one for the FAIL Blog.

*Real(?) name obscured to affect some basic level of consideration on my part. And if she reapplies to the New School of Love again, I sure wouldn't want to hurt her chances if they decided to Google her.

Diagnosis: somebody is 18 and is WAY into Robert Anton Wilson.
I bet this person's not big into doing dishes.
On the other hand, reading between the lines here, her mother will pay any amount of money to get this woman out of the house.

Question: Will someone's mother still pay rent if she gets kicked out of the New School of Love a third time?

I read the letter once and laughed. And then I came back to it and read it again and said "Wow." and then I read it again and felt sad... this person is really off her rocker and I hope s/he gets her meds straightened out...

I work with someone like this, and she is most definitely not a joke! I don't understand how some people survive. Then again, I guess she has the support of The Destructo Team.

She has friends in high places. They are GOLDEN, in fact.

You know, whether you're looking for a job, roommate or lover, anything that begins with "perusing" is going to be full of fail. I can say this having spent time in human resources...

The entire thing is horrifying enough, but no way in hell would I want someone who names herself after the Goddess of dischord living with me! I have enough dischord in my life without any help!

ALSO, WTF is the New School of Love? Honestly, shouldn't social darwinism have taken care of people like her LONG before the age of 18?! Seriously, she is everything that's wrong with America today. D:

But she's just Being True To Herself and Living Her Bliss!

Can't you respect that?! I think by not respecting that, you're OPPRESSING her RIGHTS to live the way she chooses!
