Certifiably annoying  
So I come home to find a green "You've got mail" card from the post office telling me I have certified mail (return receipt requested), with a check mark saying that either me or my "agent" has to be present to sign for the item (I can't just sign the card). 'm not expecting anything, and I have no idea who this assclown Paul McDonnell is. I'm tempted to just let them sit at the post office and let them return them. Who sends a certified letter?

I Googled him, but only come up with the treasurer or Riverside or something. Of course it could be anything: it could be from the settlement with Microsoft. But it also could be the beginning of a nightmare of identity theft from my ID getting stolen. Or maybe the RIAA is suing me. Whatever it is, Mr. McDonnell has evidentally sent two letters to me that I'm supposed to go get. Considering the loss of my wallet a month ago, I'm more than a little concerned.

[edit: removed some text that I think I worded poorly and gave the wrong impression]

I am in the same boat. I am just reading to keep up and neglecting alot of my commenting responsiblity. Maybe Mr. McDonnell is returning your idenification?

I wish... but the card indicates there are two letters. Besides, who would pay $5 to mail an ID back?

I don't think people are that nice. :-/

Re: Scotch tape for a cardboard utopia
eek! no, I don't. I have like no rules! It's just that I do actually read all the entries on my friends list like every other day or so, and it's become too much. It seems groups are what most ppl do, so I guess I have to do the same. :-/ I just want to make sure I don't move someone who actively reads my blog to a group I read less often. That wouldn't seem fair. Or maybe I drank too much wine :-p

Re: Scotch tape for a cardboard utopia
mmm wine. May I suggest the 2002 Dr. Loosen "Dr. L" Riesling from the Mosel region. A nice "drink up" wine, and a personal favorite :)

Re: Scotch tape for a cardboard utopia
eek. i know little about wine. I need to take a Learning Annex class. I just went to Trader Joe's and bought up all the cheap Pinot Grigio I could find. ...and of course a couple of two-buck chucks. I'm not buying whatever it is I'm drinking right now again though.. it kinda sux0rs.

Re:
hmm.. maybe I wrote this entry wrong. I actually did this so I could friend more ppl. I miss that part of LJ coz I've had trouble keeping up because I've been reading everything... I suspect a number of ppl on my friends list never read my entries, which I'm totally ok with. But if I have to prune the list, I'd rather start there. ...if that makes sense. I'm interested in everyone on my list, or I wouldn't have added them. Going this way is kinda arbitrary, but not sure how else to do it.

I probably should just lock this entry. I think it's giving the wrong impression. :-/

Re:
turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. County of Riverside had some property taxes owed, and it was a notice that the property would be auctioned off if the property taxes weren't paid. I called, but I guess they send it to anyone it could possibly match with the same name to cover their butts.
