Pax Letale

Hi everyone, apparently this is the place to make yourself known to your neighbours. I'm Jenny and some of you may have noticed me moving in last night, sorry about that.

My removal guy had to be rushed to hospital yesterday afternoon so I didn't end up driving down until 11. Not that any of you really needed all that detail. Anyway, I'm originally from Scotland, but I've lived for the past year in Costa Mesa where I still work at their renaissance centre. I suppose I should also let you all know that I have a dog but I promise he won't make any noise. He's not barked at a single human being for the all of the time I've had him.

If I did wake anyone up I'd love to make it up to you with a cup of tea? Just drop me a line, I'll be in all weekend attempting to unpack all of these boxes.

Enjoyed our morning foray into alcohol, my friend. Waitress (the pretty blonde one with fantastic calves and an awkward smile) asked about you when I came in later in the evening. Have you found a replacement for Zombie #1?

What an odd way to make one's presence known. You begin, I suppose, with the basics. My name is Alexander Dahlin. You may have read some of my work already. Inane novels, mostly, of no use to anyone. People are just throwing money around these days; write a book, make a million. Own a pretty face, you're a movie star. Strange world. And this? Well, I've certainly never lived in a building like this, and with such a ridiculously strange grand, useful form of communication. No doubt it will prove to be a pain in my ass wonderful way to get to know each and every one of you. Given my profession, I've quite an extensive personal library. Do feel free to contact me at any point if you're interested in perusing it. I only ask that you return whatever you borrow in the pristine condition it was left to you. It's only polite, after all, and friendships are based on mutual trust. Or so I've heard.

Having only moved in this weekend, I'm still getting used to the lay of the land. Does anyone know of a good tailor? Highly underutilized commodity in this day and age. Gentleman really should pay more attention to the little details in life.

Due to my nocturnal habits, please avoid knocking on my door during what would be considered normal hours. I enjoy the night and sleep through the mornings. An interruption to my sleep can be overlooked, however, if you bear gifts of alcohol or delectable thighs. Lastly, please, for the love of all that is holy, only refer to be as Alexander (or Mr. Dahlin, if you're the formal sort). I simply cannot stomach responding to Alex or any version of an obnoxious nickname.

Happy holidays, though they have passed us by already.

Hello everyone, I'm Michael Wolf and am just starting to move my things in today, yes on thanksgiving, happy holidays to me. Anyway, I saw this public forum and thought I'd introduce myself as other people apparently have in the past. I'm originally from England, but have been living in California since college. I don't know how long I'll have to live here, it's sort of doctors orders to live somewhere a little less stressful and he thought the beach would be a lovely place to go. I don't see how sitting on the beach with my blackberry is any different than sitting in traffic on my blackberry, but what do I know, I'm not a pill pushing doctor.

I'm the director of The Projector movies, as well some other gems. I'm currently working on directing The Projector 4, AND a spin off series is in the works where we are going to make full length versions of the films within the projector movies. They should be released one by one on dvd and blueray.

Happy thanksgiving. Can someone tell me some good night spots to go to in this area?

Hey. I don’t actually own a computer, so I’m writing this from a borrowed machine at the library. Comment if you must.

I’m Shae. Just moved into #907. If we ever meet in person, we’ll talk more. Technology is overrated. Period.

Hello, my name is Ren and I live in room 404. I just moved in a few days ago and I have just started unpacking most of my stuff so I haven't been very social or gotten a chance to use this thing yet. Yet I have already unpacked my games and have played six hours straight on Halo, BUT that is my excuse and I'm sticking with it.

For someone who grew up with electronics, you would think something like this would come second nature, but it just feels a little awkward introducing myself to "the neighborhood" via this thing. It probably would have been a lot stranger to go door to door introducing myself. Yeah, like I would have done that, hahah. Not a girl scout, not selling cookies.

Though I do know a couple of people here from before I officially moved in and here is a special message for one of them: Chris, dude, call me already before I have to stake out your apartment.

I have come to the conclusion that I hate unpacking and I have nothing to eat right now except ramen noodles. It might be a few days before I am able to find my way back out of my apartment long enough to go stock up on things like...food. So does anyone here know of a few good places that deliver and are on the relatively cheap side? Cause man can not live by ramen noodles alone.

That title makes me feel like this is Mrs. Frisby and The Rats of NIMH and I'm Mrs. F. But it was moving day just two days ago. My building was full on condemned for no other reason than... It was about to collapse! Yeah, 'cause that's totally a minor thing. So now that I've gotten my computer set up - as I have no lappy and no cell phone (WOE!) - I can do... things now! So glad my boss gave me time off work even if that means less money.

List of things to do:
1. Sort out wardrobe - Weekend task?
2. Call repair shop - will I have enough for groceries and for a new key/lock combo for the Gremlin?
3. Start a savings jar for a new car - why am I driving a GREMLIN?
4. Practice for work!

Further infos, Hello! I'm Mirza Naji in #402. If my music gets too loud just pound on a wall or bang in the door. Just please don't call the cops.

Also also: Never move boxes in heels. I swear to god, my feet are bruised or something from it. Worst idea EVER. I just like feeling tall...er and having the knowledge that if some horrible person comes chasing me down the street and... I get pinned or something, I have a weapon! Although god forbid I have to run in heels. Can you imagine? Speaking of shoes, anyone know any good shoe websites? I need something in green. If I can afford it after I fix Grem-Grems.

Locked to 107

I kind of miss the crazy-ass beard I had going on. Though I'm glad that ended before I showed up to work wearing only a sheet.

Can we please, like, sink to the bottom of the ocean? Right now? There's a night dive next Saturday, with our name on it. The start is Marina Del Ray and the destination is Santa Monica Pier - provided that the weather cooperates, of course. Are you in?

Oh, and sorry if you got caught in the freak rainstorm on the way home on Tuesday. I think that was me. It's really sad how easily I can just talk about this now like it's normal My life, what has happened to it

Locked to P3A

I think I almost started a tornado. Do you know how fucked up that would have been, to start a tornado right now?

Locked to D3

So.

(on a weekday after this, Cassie does one last round of calls, this one to a Mr. Vincent A. Laurent; caller ID only states it's from the Ocean Institute)

Ring.

Hello All,

There was an error in the order I placed and the bakery sent me 13 orders of a bakers-dozen cup cakes. They are all red velvet and to die for!

Would anyone like any or could any one please suggest a place I can donate them to? They did not charge for the error and I would hate to see them go to waste.

Please let me know as soon as possible,

With best wishes,
Honey Skye Griffin-Laurent of P3

Uhm. There’s this bookcase in my living room that... is falling apart. I don’t know what happened and I think I might just give up and throw the thing out if I have to use my hammer on it again. So. Uhm. Would anyone want to lend me a hand?

Of course, if you’re busy, it’s okay! I just thought I’d ask since... well. That’s the kind of thing neighbors do for one another, right?

I just moved in. So. I think I’m your neighbor now?

Emma Sheridan. I live up in 1003. I can read your tarot if you’d like. I mean. In exchange for the help?

Did you fucking know some asshole moved into my top floor?

[After Xander says something about her acting superior to the others in the building she lets it get under her skin]

Fellow Patrons of this Building,

I believe my affairs are now in order and so I have time to jot a note to you all and offer my greetings and my well wishes.

My name is Honey Skye Griffin. I am a lawyer by trade but please, don't let that scare you off.

I look forward to meeting you all. Feel free to come up for a cup of sugar or a cup of coffee (or both!) if the neccesity or interest takes you to P3.

Warmest Regards,
Honey

A Proposed Pardon Stirs Passions in New Mexico

It's kind of funny.

"Here's your pardon. Our bad."

Hullo, building. My name is Brighid, and I’ve just moved in to 705. I’ll apologize in advance for keeping odd hours for a bit. There’s an eight-hour difference between here and home that I’m trying to adjust to before school starts. I’ll be starting classes as a freshman at Cal State Fullerton soon, and if anyone has suggestions on the best way to get to and from campus while I try to muddle through the process of getting a driving licence here, I welcome them.

I guess that’s it for now. Sure I’ll be running into some of you eventually.

Sláinte.

Tell me I'm not the only one who felt the earthquake last night. Chingadera falling over, almost bonked me on the head.

[After this]

:ring... ring...:

( Lovely day for tea and crumpets... )

Hey, guys!

Sorry it's taken so long for me to put this together. I'd rather do a zillion bench presses than have to actually run but Melinda is making me My trainer had to go over it like ten times and point out everything that was wrong... Anyway, I won't ramble. So I'll just cut to the chase! Ohgod running puns

The route is 2.4 miles long, running through parts of the city as well as the beach. It sticks to places with sidewalks and street lamps, for safety reasons. My plan is to do two circuits of it in one go, three times a week. Right now, I'm thinking Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday. For me, the time is completely flexible. This is a part of my training, so I can move things around it a bit. I'd prefer early morning, but I can work with your schedules!

Also, obviously you don't have to come with me every time. So please don't feel obligated if you want to take a day off or just don't want to do it anymore. I won't be mad! Thanks so much for offering to do this with me, though. I really needed the motivation!

- Riley

Sarah,

Hey, it's Paul. I don't want to look like a stalker know it's weird to have me randomly popping up with a message for you here but I didn't want to just show up at your door. I heard you were here too and I'm sure someone else has told you I'm here as well. Skye gave me your apartment number. Are you doing alright? I just wanted to check up with you. I know it's been awhile. Have you seen Roy? Please tell me Roy's okay I'm worried about him Maybe we should break into his apartment
