From Russia with Love: Part 14

Back to Kitty again and her reply to my Atheism e-mail.

Hello Sid!!!

Sid, I would like to tell you more about me and my life now. I’ve been
always interested in foreign languages. I’ve been learning English
since I was 7 years old. I had a wonderful teacher, she knew how to
make her students interested in subjects, we used to play different
games, that was much fun. I can say that I was the best student in the
class :) I very much liked the English language and I have decided
studies on on rates of the profound studying of the English language.
It seems to me that now my English is good enough:)

I think that’s enough for today telling about me, I would like to know
more about you, your inside. You know, Sid, I have a question for you.
What is the perfect relationships for you? As for me I would like to
find that special person, the person who is going to understand me in
everything, the one who is not going to cheat on me or hurt me in any
way. I think that trust is a very important thing in the relationship.
I think that if two people don't trust each other, nothing is possible
just for one simple reason they won't open their hearts to each other,
their relationship won't be 100 % happy. I don't know if I am right,
but this is my opinion.

I think that the perfect relationship is when two people trust each
other completely and don't control each other, you know how it happens
sometimes when one the partners always want to check what the other is
doing. I'd like to have the relationship when both have full freedom
to do anything they want, but they both just want to be near each
other, they don't want anything else, they don't need anybody else. I
hope you understand what I am talking about. Like they have choice,
but they choose each other all the time. I think this will be called
love. When two people are together all the time and if they separate
for an hour it seems to them like they didn't see each other for ages.
You know what I mean,Sid? I hope you do. :)

Ok, I am finishing my letter and I will be looking forward to your
reply!

Have a great day! And write back soon!!!

Looking forward to your reply,

Sincerely,

Natasha...

So yeah.. not a peep about my last message.

From Russia with Love: Part 12

Irina is back again. I got this reply within an hour and a half of sending her my last. Makes me wonder about her whole internet cafe thing. Yet again she doesn't even touch on anything I said in my message to her, but she did send more pictures.

Irina to me Nov 14

Hi Jason! I am glad to receive again yours E-mail. Every day we start
to learn each other more well and for me it is interesting thing -
your messages. I informed you Jason, that already the some time I am
lonely also yours E-mail is a good medicine for mine loneliness. The
large thank for such perfect photo. It very much was pleasant to me. I
shall leave it in the photoalbum. Jason, I send you other picture of,
I hope, that it will be to like you. Dear, tell to me about family.
How many you the person? What at you with them attitudes? What they
have opinion about your personal lives? I already informed you, that I
live in the house of my parents. In ours to apartment there are some
cosy rooms. My attitudes with parents close enough. Sometimes we have
together an entertainment. Is a beach in the summer , in the winter -
skates of a ski. Earlier I lived separately, removed small apartment.
But after parting with my partner, I badly felt myself. And my mum
asked, that I some time a a life with them. I spend usually most part
of day on work. I communicate with friends in the evening , we
sometimes get out in club or on a party. But more often, I simply go
home and watch TV. A little once a month I have sports to support by
way of my body. Also I love water, It is pool or simply bath. Jason, I
would like to learn more about yours usual lives. Tell, as you have
the usual day. What ideas often come to you? I have many questions to
you, but my modesty does not allow me to ask some of them, you. Write
Jason, what attitudes for you ideal? About what you you dream? You
could represent, in the life, such the person, how I? Write the ideas
on these things. I wait for your messages.

Yours Irina.

She never did explain the gay thing, so I guess she doesn't like Vagina after all.

Damn!

From Russia with Love: Part 11

Oh, yeah Irina is back again, and she brought her flirt along!

Hi Jason! Have good day. I was very happy to read through some details
about your life. I wish to tell to you Jason, that I am glad to
acquaintance to you. Our information interchange also is very
interesting to me. I had a desire to learn about you more, and also to
see more than your photos. I think, that in the future we can have
greater trust and tenderness to each other. Many people cannot
understand us how we do it. And as cannot give such pleasure and care
which can give the loving pair. Probably, if our attitudes can
develop, I can give you the tenderness. And I am assured, that you
will receive great pleasure from it. Now it is time to me to go what
to do some house business. I can speak again with you tomorrow, dear
Jason! I wait for your messages!


Yours Irina.

I think that's supposed to be flirting anyway...

From Russia with Love: Part 9

Natasha/Natalya/Kittie from Part 5 is Back with a vengeance.

I asked you, my loyal readers, to write the reply to her and I got bupkiss from you. I see how you bastards are now. Since I didn't get any help from the peanut gallery I went ahead and sent her the following:

Hi Natalya,

Sorry for the delay in replying, I have been very busy the past week. It was very nice to hear back from you and learn more about you.

I can't say that I have ever heard Moon Sonata, but I have heard Beethoven before. I prefer my music a little faster paced though. Disco is great to dance to, but I'm not very good at it. I do enjoy getting out there and making a fool of myself while trying to dance though. I am not a bit sports fan, but I do try to stay in shape. Usually I fail from lack of motivation, but recently I have been doing pretty good. I am going to classes to learn Tae Kwan Do right now and really enjoying it.

Well, that is about all I can think of right now. What more would you like to know about me?

Hope to hear from you soon,
Sid


See more after the jump...

From Russia with Love: Part 8

We have another one!

Hello !
My name is Lyuda. This letter shows you, that I live in the USA. It is a mistake. I live in Russia. I wrote, that I live in
Russia, but it was said anyhow, that I'm from the USA, therefore not to be surprised. I live in Russia. The matter is that
acquaintance on the Internet now is popular all over the world. I have noticed
your profile. Sidero, you live in the USA and this is a good place to live!
America is the country of freedom. I've never been to the USA however, but I know about your country much. Each person has the
right to a good life and you have enough freedom to have a worthy life. Everyone has equal opportunities. In the USA I think more
opportunities for a good life. There where I now live is not the best place to live and create a family. But even in such country
I can do a good living. I like to work, I have family values and I want to have the best life with a good man, the man who I
shall love and who will love me as well. I think that women here are good enough to be the wife of the American.
I am the woman who appreciates love, fidelity, honesty. I am not spoiled by easy and carefree life.
I saw your profile on the Internet and you have drawn my attention. We can know each other better. I also want to draw your
attention by my letter and that's why today I won't write much to you.
I only willl tell now, that I'm of 28 years. My height is
172 centimeters (5 ’ 7 "). My weight is 55 kg (120 pounds).
I hope, that you understand, that I want to create a family, I want to live in the USA and to have the best life. I achieved in
life much, I have got used to go up to the end in achieving the purpose. I have verything in this life except for family and true
love. I am searching for love now. I am not a poor woman. I belong to the middle class in Russia. I have a good work and I have
enough money for living here. Besides I am rich spiritually.
I hope, you can see my picture. With hope, Lyuda.

Fun with Match.com Part 7

I'm thinking I might need to change this series to From Russia: With Love

But anyway, today we are back to Irina from part 6.

She wrote me on the 9th and again on the 13th when I had not replied back to her. I replied to the later first:

Irina to me Nov 13

Dear mine Jason, where you were gone, why any more do not write me the
letters, I wait already what is the time, and them all no. There can
be I you something has offended? Write to me please. With impatience I
wait Irina.

My reply:

Hi, there.

Sorry I haven't responded to your email yet. I had a very busy weekend. I'll leave this short and say I will reply in full when I have more time,
Jason

Her English seems to be getting better... we'll see if it held up in her earlier letter after the jump.

Sunday, sunday, Sunday!

A couple of weeks ago I posted about the two guy's at Hitch50.com that are trying to hitchhike to all 50 state capitols in under 50 days. Well, on Saturday they got number 36, Pierre South Dakota and headed towards Sioux Falls, after a slight detour. They were met in Chamberlain by another local Blogger Brad, who swung them by the Corn Palace before taking them to his place to crash for the night. That is correct, they didn't get a chance to check out Willies. They were pretty bummed when I told them about the place, so maybe they will swing through some other time.

Bright and early Sunday morning I swung by Brad's, which is like 6 blocks from my place, and picked the three of them up. We made a quick trip down to the falls and headed for St. Paul to get Capital #37. The trip was a blast with the 4 of us chatting and sharing stories. We had to make a quick stop at the Minnesota border so we could get some pictures with the State Welcome Sign. I found out later that this is because they were slatted to meet up with Roger Johnson, The World's First Self Proclaimed State Welcome Sign Photography Expert, (yes he does have cards but he ran out so I didn't get one). Roger and his incredibly hot and cool friend Haley are going to be doing something similar this summer. They are going to be driving instead of hitch hiking, and they are going to be filming the whole thing to edit into a feature length Documentary. We also met Nick and Greg. Nick is a travel agent who donated a couple train tickets and he brought his 2 year old Great Dane. The dog was HUGE! Greg is another adventurer and plans to travel around the world "to all those little places no one has ever heard of" once he sells his home and everything he owns. He still has a bit to go, and doesn't have anything up on his site yet, but I'll try to remember to keep up on it. It was really cool to be there when these guy's met and hear them share stories. The three legged race up the capital stairs was pretty good too...

After Scotty and Fiddy finished an interview with a local TV station they transferred their bags into Roger's van and headed out towards Wisconsin.

The trip back was pretty cool too, other than it being dark and almost hitting a bunch of deer. I got to meet some one that lives very close to me that I never would have met, as well as meeting a whole bunch of really cool people that love to travel.

It was a great day, unfortunately I didn't get a lot of Pic's. I will post the ones I did get after the jump, and add links to any I receive from Brad, Scotty, and Fiddy.

Fun with Match.com Part 5

Who knew a match account could spawn this much content? I sure didn't.

So Kitty replied back with what is fairly obviously a canned reply. The only part that directly addresses a question I posed to her makes little to no sense, but I'll let you read it and make your own decisions...

Oh, and this time I'm letting you my loyal readers write the reply, so have fun.
I'll check the comments later and probably send this off tomorrow morning.

OMFG

So I'm sitting at my computer a couple of minutes ago when I notice something kind of strange going on out my window...

Begin stream of conscience entry

Someone is taking the smoke station thing apart.
This someone is not a county employee.
There is a lady and her kid standing right on the other side of the glass.
He's going to dig for butts right in front of some lady and her kid....
No, no he isn't. He's going to take the bucket and carry it off.
What the hell is this dude thinking?
It's not even 10:45 in the morning.
You are right in front of the fucking jail, and you are stealing county property.
Are you drunk, high, retarded, or all three?
How bad of a nic fit are you having?

/End stream of conscience entry

At this point I ran out to try to catch the guy... or find someone that would since I'm lazy.
Well I ran into one of our maintenance guys and told him the story real quick. He follows me out to the parking lot and I point out the dude carrying the bucket of cigarette butts.
He takes off across the parking lot and catches up to the dude as he is almost across Minnesota Ave.

Now here is where the Drunk/Stoned/Retarded part really kicks in kiddies.
Instead of dropping the bucket and taking off, he turns around and walks back to the dude that was chasing him. Maintenance man Ron proceeds to chew his ass and ask him what the hall he was thinking.
His response... "I wanted the butts."
Ron's logical reply "Well, fine take the butts, but leave the damn bucket!"
He then lets the dude dig through it and gather a hand full up butts, and go across the street to the building he was heading for to begin with.

We grabbed one of the SO detectives and a patrol officer and told them what had happened. They offered to go scare the crap out of the dude and get the bucket back, then laughed there assess off when Ron described chasseing the guy down.

I think the dude deserves an honorary Darwin award.

*Update* I just noticed that this is my 200th Entry, Woo Hoo!!! */Update*
Apparently Russian women on Match.com(pops) are much like sharks.

Once you reply to one it's like dropping blood in the water...

After I replied to the last correspondence from superpowerkitty I received messages from two other young ladies from the former Soviet Union, Swallowcakes (man I love these names) and Natalya362947696 (I think that might be some kind of secret code).

Fun with Match.com Part 3

Yesterday I recieved a responce from Kitty. I think I'll just stick to calling her that, since the name in the reply to, and the name she signs are different.
Don't ask me, I don't know. But considering the names on two other e-mails I have recieved (these will be covered later) I think Nick-Names are in order.

Oh, and she sent me more pictures too...

I'm going to do things a little different this time and let my loyal reader(s) edit my reply to Kitty.

Check out her message and what I plan to send back to her after the jump.
