This is one of the stranger message boards I've seen. I'm not quite sure what it's all about. All I know was I was getting the shit spammed out of me, and getting on here seems to have made it stop. I don't know who signed me up for this, but I hope they didn't sign me up for any others. I'd hate to have to change over emails because of too much spam, I've had my current email for a long time now.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

That's okay. It's not a rare circumstance when that happens. I get the WTF look on a daily basis.

Seriously, though, don't worry about things here. Everyone really is super nice and chill and we're through most of the rough stuff this time. Except I hear some people are still missing. Shit.

BTW, it's kind of cool that your group picked you out right away and could tell you who you were. It cuts back on the remembering time.

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

I must be touched in the head for accepting this so easily. But my bullshit alarm isn't going off yet for some reason.

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

Very cool and it probably won't go off at all because, seriously, this is legit.

Oh, I think I totally forgot to tell you my other name. I already said Javi but I'm also Hanuman. Kind of like, well, pretty much a monkey god.

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

I think I do know it's for real. But there's still another part of my brain that's telling me I'm one big step closer to getting locked up in the looney bin.

Monkey god? Like in The Forbidden Kingdom? Do you know Kung Fu?

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

We'd never let you get locked up. There would be a jailbreak, honest, hand to heart. At the very least your group would come to get you. Like I said, there's good people here. Just don't let yourself get too thrown. Oh, and if I start to ramble or annoy you just tell me to shut up and it'll be cool.

Like in the Ramayana - Hindu mythology. But that's a really fun movie!

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

No, you're fine. It's nice to know I'm not the only crazy one anymore. For the longest time, I kind of thought I was.

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

As the cat says, man, we're all mad here. If we're all mad, then no one's mad and you can rest easy. It's a good kind of madness.

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

So what else can you tell me about all this?

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

Well, since I'm feeling better than I was a couple days ago, sure but I'm a little new to all this, too, so some of this is guessing or what others told me. Basically, it comes down to the fact that, congratulations, you're a godling. All of those stories, all of those religions - they were all real and are still real and it's us. Which is kinda weird to think about. Especially if you grew up, you know, being that religion. Kind of. My dad's still a practicing Hindu so you can bet I haven't told him yet. XD

BTW, how much do you watch the news and where are you?

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

I'm in California. I don't watch a lot of news. Why?

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

Because a while back there were some attacks on some of the others but that seems to have all gone quiet now. I haven't had any problems, for sure, except this Gaia thing and that is not really something we can do anything about. Unfortunately. So I just wanted to make sure you stayed safe!

Oh, cool! Where in California? I'm in Berkeley.

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

I've been blissfully ignorant up until when whoever it was started sending me emails.

Really? I'm in Los Angeles.

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

Yep. I'm in college up here at UofC, major unknown but it'll come to me.

How are you liking LA? I haven't been down there in years.

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

I've only been here since the fall. I'm a freshman at UCLA.

I like it here alright. It's a hell of a lot better than Nebraska. It has been a big adjustment.

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

Cool. We're both freshmen! Have you picked out your major yet? What sort of stuff do you like to do?

What's Nebraska like? I've never been. Actually, I haven't been out of California too much at all.

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

Oh yeah? Sweet! I'm hoping to go premed, so I've been loading up on the sciences so far.

Been keeping busy with school, but my roomie's good at getting me out and making me be social. Getting out to bars and clubs seeing the sights.

What's Nebraska like? Worst place ever. Nothing there at all, at least not where I m from.

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

Very cool! That's hard stuff so my hat's off to you. I'm glad to hear that your roomie keeps you with us slackers, too. It's important to have fun so you have breaks in between learning things.

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

He's a good guy, puts up with all my quirks and weirdness. And I do get my breaks from the books too. Gone to some concerts, gone to some things on campus. The beaches, of course. There was really nothing to do back home, and I mean nothing, so I'm still working on figuring out what to do with myself here.

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

You'll figure it out. You're in LA, man. There's plenty to do. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy and all that stuff.

If you ever come up to the Bay Area, you'll have to look me up, okay? I'll show you around.

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

There is plenty to do, that is right.

That'd be cool. Have you met anyone else from here?

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

From the boards here? Yep. Got to meet Kali when she hauled me out of my house in order to get our missing stuff back. She's very, very cool and I'm glad she's on our side.

Oh, hey, do you like pizza?

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, I do. I never knew there were so many different kinds of pizzas. There really wasn't much variety in foods back home.

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

Excellent. Then I'm taking you to The Cheese Board if you come up. Best pizza and 100% worth the wait.

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

So what's there to do in Berkeley, other than the pizza?
