How did you come up with "Red paper raindrops" in the firstplace?

I think it's a virus, like a computer virus.

Not much going on with the image, but notice the symbol below the ear.
Arrow ponting down? N over a V, something else?
ETA: also to the left of the symbol is "2085"

Wh o sad nd lonely


The email I sent, I used the subject Glass Magnet Spider, and asked simply "Why so sad and lonely?".
You can see that there are several letters missing from my original email, as well as in the Details of the original message. I haven't had a chance yet to figure out the significance of that yet.
As to the message itself, it feels like I'm getting a response from a computer - from the looks of it, it's partly a thesaurus - as it took the 2 keywords "sad" and "lonely" and gave different synonyms for them. Then it appears to break down into instructional posts...?
"place sauce packet on alloy tray" then empty it onto the tray, then wait and enjoy? ..
Or how about adjusting the axis degredation. I'll quit trying to parse all this out now before this post gets too long.

@Schwinn - the arrow looks to me like it's a N over a \/. Indicating North is down? Dunno - my impression.

 		New picture and new song up.

Song is Smoke gets in your eyes, written for the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musical "Roberta". Not sure who is singing it here.

Lyrics:

They asked me how I knew,
My true love was true,
Oh, I, of course, replied, something here inside,
Cannot be denied.

They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind,
Oh, when your heart's on fire, you must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes.

So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed,
To think they could doubt my love.
Yet today, my love has flown away,
I am without my love.

Now. laughing friends deride
The tears I cannot hide,
Oh, so I smile and say, when a lovely flame dies,
Smoke gets in your eyes.

Smoke gets in your eyes

Or something similar.


The Reg-Sea-Mia-Dol is the 2nd, flat 5, 3, and 1st degrees of a major scale in solfege with an added letter, not that is relevant in any way probably.

Still waiting for an email Sad haha

EDIT: also, B.E. Intl. and Martin Aggett? What did i miss?

 		Man, part of me is really hoping this doesn't actually start-start until 2010, because until winter break, I am absolutely slammed with schoolwork.

So hi guys! I've been kind of dead for the past few days, and apparently Bricker noticed... but he said something I thought y'all might find interesting.

Quote:
brianbricker:You still around? Four days ago you were very tired...and that's the least I've seen of you.

clas1ca: I'm not quite dead! Haha, school's been hell, but things are starting to get back to normal now.

brianbricker: Glad to hear it! I think you will find The Sunshine Mine well worth sticking around for.
brianbricker: ...it's not just me this time. :)

But it's a good thing we have a music major on our side, because Googling that comes up with absolutely fuckall. :B

Due to my upbringing, Ryutso's code immediately looked like, to me, Biblical verses until I realized the descending numbers made no sense.

Just throwing some stuff out here...

So the first number is sequential, 1 through 17.
Maybe this is supposed to match up with something else?

Also noticed all the pairs have the larger number first.
I went through and subtracted them all out, leaving:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
1:6; 2:3; 3:5; 4:10; 5:-; 6:3; 7:11; 8:11; 9:3; 10:3; 11:7; 12:17; 13:3; 14:18; 15:3; 16:41; 17:2


Until #16, it sure looked like it would fit the alphabet...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Substituting a=1, ... gives: FCEJ-CKKCCGQCRC_B, nothing interesting.
Using REGSEAMIADOL as 1-12 gives: AGED-GOOGGM*G*G*E, well I thought the AGED was interesting, but nothing really after that...

What do you mean sick? Health wise? Or are you having uh.. mental
difficulties? Why are you writing in binary? What are red paper
raindrops? What do you have to do with the Sinshine mine.

Martin Agget is this character created by some guy who apparently thinkg's he's real. He has a twitter account, a facebook and a bunch of other stuff to make it look like he's a real person. He started following me on Twitter during "I'm Sorry" and when I started tweeting about stuff relating to this one, he pointed out that the Sunshine Mine was actually a real mine disaster.

I thought that too. At first I though Konig Darzan code again, but it really did look like references to Biblical verses until the descending numbers. For a moment I thought Iris wanted us to read them backwards.

Coriander....Blood Rot? Interesting.

Also the "escape" message intrigues me. Normally you "escape" a character in code to get it to show up, normally with a backslash. However, it's almost like Iris wants to escape.
