stupid first world problems you're dealing with

Pipe it down

Wonder if I can just tap out if things get too weird. This is literally the first time this has happened on my eight years of FB. She seems to trust me more than I trust her.

Ack. I'm torn between opening up to her or just running like hell in case this is some sort of trap. At least she seemed mature and civil.


Sorry if I'm making this awkward as hell. Don't be afraid to post your latest FWPs guys.

just talk normally, man. she's talking to you so just talk to her. she in AK?

For some reason when I try to record cassettes with Audacity for longer than 10 mins I find out afterwards that chunks of the audio are missing. It's annoying as hell and seems to be a google-proof problem.

If you try to google it you get lots of "OH YOU MEAN CLIPPING" answers.

This is just like I've gone through the audio and every 10 seconds erased about a 5th of a second so that the track jumps forwards infinitesimally.

As an example I ripped the Draft 7.30 cassette and when I imported it into my media player it was only 30-40mins long.

This only happens with cassettes. Vinyl is fine and so are my own jams. Recorded exactly the same way with a aux line in.

try recording it with another program

yeah sorted now. Remembered I 'acquired' Logic about a year ago, never used it.

That worked fine.

Dunno what's up with the newer Audacity though. The old version on my old laptop never had any trouble.

She's in Kenya right now, but lives in TN.

She seems sweet, but I can't tell if she has any other FB friends. I might be her only one, which seems kinda odd. I obv don't know her well enough yet to invest my trust. But we chatted for over an hour last night. And we're pretty close in age.

But if I just flake out and ditch her, who knows what emotional harm that might cause. Feels like I'm in over my head.

alright man, im pretty sure chatting on valentine's day, with some girl who wants attention isn't the best of things to do.

leave it be for a while

keep at it, but she'll ask if you can send moneys to Kenya at some point?

that's when you know you gotta marry her.

^ lol

This does seem really suspicious though, 'monk.

this sounds like a Dr. Phil show. don't wire her any money dude.

She[?] has probably already got his social and home address...

Maybe, just maybe, he's found a really nice, loving but a little shy girl. You never know, it could happen. Don't send money is a given, having only one friend on Facebook is weird, because it begs the question, why and how she added you. Perhaps you are a target of a scam and on the other end of the chat is a plump sweaty guy with gold chains.

'Monk, we're going to need you to check in every hour on the hour, for your own protection.

No worries I'm fine. So far nothing's happened since then. Kinda hoping it stays that way TBH.

If there's even the slightest hint that she'd be asking for money that's an automatic red flag. But for now I'll just act as though nothing happened and continue about my normal business.

why don't you sell your soul to Google use Google Docs? Makes my life amazingly easier. Haven't used an USB like in years

monk, just have a conversation and be done man, take usagi's advice. not every female you encounter is a love interest

actually, if 'she' is in Kenya, that's a whole 'nother ballgame. be wary.

I'm already well aware of that. But this particular interaction wasn't the norm. Felt like she was pretty much throwing herself at me (sans nudie pix), but probably because she's super lonely. I'm inclined to feel more pity than attachment.

Did she mistake FB for a dating service I wonder? Fuckin' weird..

It's a female alright. And she's only in Kenya for week. But still...I'm not taking any more chances.

This is why I bring this up in this thread in the first place. My gut says, "yeah, she's cute and is nice enough, but this is still kinda weird." And I appreciate you guys offering input, as awkward as all this is.

well yeah don't be a fuckin mark but don't work yourself up over conversations with people you've never met either, who cares? it's easy as JBC, OAB.

edit: if she's real, lol, and in TN, there's no realistic chance anyway, so just be friendly if that's how you are naturally and meh, that's that.

I've been trying to, but I need some of the Office templates for writing lesson plans and some complicated formatting to do academic writing for grad school. I really wish I could just switch to Docs full time.
