Holla!

Anyone going to this Italian Festival that I was informed of either tonight or tomorrow? It's like 2.5 miles from my sister's house. I wonder if I could walk there and back, and not die. I want to do it, at least, but I'm not sure. I'm kind of nervous. I don't know how safe it is to do so. I am staying off of Forest if anyone can tell me if it would be okay for me to take the trek by foot. I would probably start walking by 3ish if I decided to go tomorrow, but I hate doing those sorts of things alone. Any insight on the area and how 'safe' it is to walk by myself?

Yeah some times waiting on a bus isn't to fun but it isn't that bad I'm not sure if the 25 on Delaware or the 20 Elmwood is better for you. If didn't go yet I hope you have a good time.

tinypliny writes at 09:16:05 07/18/08 - Comment #37176: Yeah, its a long hike. As (e:leetee) had suggested, I would take the Bus to Hertel - it's really very reasonable. You could always walk coming back. I think its a very safe walk and even really scenic, at time. I have walked the route many many times and say this from personal experience. Enjoy the festival!!

leetee writes at 07:01:44 07/18/08 - Comment #37168: You could walk there, sure, but then, when you're there, would you want to walk more? These kinds of festival thingies are always accessible by foot only, so the only way to see and experience them all, is by foot.

If you don't have a car, take the bus. The 20 Elmwood goes right up to Hertel and it only costs $1.50. Here's the NFTA site with the Elmwood bus route :::link:::

Hertel itself is safe to walk. Not sure where, exactly, you would be walking from, but in general, your route is safe. If you're going from the general area of the strip to Hertel, that is. I say anything east of Richmond, west of Main would be safe to walk at night. Remember, walking main thoroughfares is always safer since you can be seen by more people. There is safety in numbers.

Good luck and have fun! Wish i could be there instead of studying or at work!

Trying so hard!

I am having a hard time getting a handle on this site, granted, I have been a member for a day. Is there a way to comment back on comments, or do you have to just post another entry? How do you put in user names into an entry? I also tried logging into the GATHER thingie, and it wouldn't let me.

Anyhow, I just my new job tomorrow. I am a little nervous. I have to wear retainers in my lip piercings, but one side of my mouth is thicker than the other, and I have to be creative in order to be discrete. Then, since I have my ears stretched a little bit, I had to buy plugs that are seemingly normal earrings, however, the ones I bought use those little rubber/plastic 'O' rings, and I apparently am allergic to them. How obnoxious.

With all that said, I want to thank everyone for welcoming me. It's wonderful to see that there is a community of friends in the area. I can't wait to start getting to know everyone.

metalpeter writes at 04:59:31 07/18/08 - Comment #37166: In terms of the comments what you could do is is comment on your own journal then to respond to each persons comment write and e the : the name and it higlights it like (e:baily) for example or (e:tinypliny) that right a response to them and hope they read it. The other option is that if when you signed up you gave your e-mail then when ever a comment is posted it goes to your e-mail then you can hit reply and write back to each person. The other option is to respond to what that person said on your post as a comment on there latest journal. There are two other options that work the first one is under everyone's picture there is that yellow square post it note that if you click on it you can send them a short message there is an icon for that on everyones page and if you point the arrow at it, it will say if you have any new messages, but not to many people use that so the person may not remember to check it. Also under peoples user picture there is an envelope that you can click on and then what you type it will send to there e-mail. Granted some people don't have an e-mail account set up from (e:strip). So it is about what you feel the most comfortable doing.

Hope (e:Tinypliny)'s tutorial helped you. Takes a few times to navigate around (e:strip) to get the hang of it (least it did for me and if i can figure it out, anyone can), but once you do, you'll be happy you stuck it out. Mostly everyone here is harmless. :O)

Where's the new job at? Hope the first day went well. Sorry to hear you gotta take out your piercings... it blows. Back in the '80's, i was fired from a job for not taking out a nose ring. Fun stuff.

tinypliny writes at 09:03:58 07/17/08 - Comment #37135: Look to the right at the panel where the user-avatars/photos appear (when they are online). Below the panel is a small chat window - you can instant message anyone who is online at that time, you could also post pictures, links etc. Same as you would do in an instant messaging system. Ask your questions and someone would come along and answer them.

Enjoy your time at (e:strip)! :)

New!

Thanks for having me! Sort of new to Buffalo, at least permanently. I want to get to know some people in the area so I am not bored out of my mind. I also like exchanging ideas. Talk to me!
