It's been some time since I brought you guys some news about Greg.
It's not that I don't like him or haven't talked to him, but I've
been strapped for time all around lately. I'm doing a full time internship
with King's College and I have been in limbo while moving from one
dorm to another, not to mention my short trip home and the fun time
I have to make for myself to prevent me from snapping. Amidst all
the commotion though, I lost track of the balance of the universe,
which is being controlled solely by me in a bunker outside of Chicago,
which I can get to quickly via teleportation device. It became apparent
that the earth was off balance when I, sitting at my computer, recieved
an instant message from Greg.
It was about twenty months ago when I started
living with Greg. After a short time, it became clear that he had
it out for my computer. When I would come back from class, sometimes
he would have chunks of computer parts hanging from the ceiling
from wires. The weren't parts of my computer, but it seemed that
he enjoyed the ripping to pieces part. Once I came back and the
words "Computers Byte Ass" were Sharpied onto the tower.
I couldn't pin it on Greg, but he was the only other person with
a key to the room.
As time progresseed, Greg found out that you can
play games on the computer. I believe the first one to tickle his
fancy was BrickBuster, a German knock-off of the classic game found
on most cell phones today. Eventually he discovered Snood, the game
which has us all as victims at some point in time. Greg controlled
his impulses to play the game, but he still frequented it. Boggle
also appealed to Greg, though he often had verbal arguments with
the computer's dictionary, "Katana's a word, it's a type of
weapon! Oh yeah?! Well I got one right here and I'll cut ya!"
In addition, I was building a little project that
you're viewing today, and Greg was read all the best lines from
the early stories and consulted for many pieces. It served as a
teaser for him to read full stories when he was in the library or
computer lab. Now, Greg has gotten an internet connection at his
home in NJ and he's running high. Greg IMed me yesterday for the
first time, and I was glad to hear from him. Here's an excerpt from
our conversation which will serve for a transition to the next part
of this article (note the nice screen name on Greg's part, I blanked
out the last digits, he doesn't want to hear from you anyway):

do that and flush my toilet please |
A Trip to Greg's Place!
Now, from the above conversation I could only assume that Greg took
a massive poop before he left and, as a test, he left a note telling
me to flush the toilet. At this point, I went to Greg's apartment
to check up on the place. I was very worried. I could only imagine
how long his "care package" was sitting in the toilet.
Then, Greg shocked me even more. He actually left a box of food
for me, so I wouldn't die. I crept up to the toilet too, it was
empty, so I flushed it and took a picture. I also picked up the
mail and came across a few things for Greg and a few things for
the South Seas Trading Company. I was worried that the mail might
be for a real company. I called Greg and discussed the matter with
him. Greg informed me that he and Joe Baldasare started a trading
comany that dealt in small land masses in the Pacific. I was proud
of my friends' success. I told him his catalogs arrived.
After a few more minutes of catching up with Greg,
I decided it was time to grab my carepackage and get moving. Before
I did that, I scoped out Greg's toaster and contemplated stealing
it. I didn't though. I also snapped a couple pictures for you guys
and you can see them below:
And that was the trip to Greg's. It was a fun one,
and I got to put all my frozen dinner's in a real freezer. Did you
know at Wegman's you can get 5 frozen dinners for $5? That's a dollar
a meal. For $5 you could get a fancy lunch, or FIVE whole meals.
I'll let you know how they taste later, ok? That's all for this
story though. It was a pretty good one.
Oh-- I forgot, Greg also said he still hates computers:
Aimsucks---(10:58:06
PM): i am still anti computer
That crazy Kirschner. He'll always keep me entertained,
even if he did skip my birthday party.
