 		well, Amanda doesn't like old and creepy men so that rules me out. Laughing

Seriously though, she clearly won't hear any voices - unless they're telepathic - however she may still receive strange pics.

 		that's debatable, the others hear the voices in their heads & Amanda's deafness is from psychosomatic trauma, not a physiological reason. She may still hear the voices.

 		Well, this creepy old man emailed her and got a reply:

I wrote:

Amanda,

Hello there.. this is going to seem strange and out of
the blue to you, but some friends and I recently
learned about your blog, which is quite nice and
well-done. I'm contacting you to find out if, well,
you have experienced anything strange recently,
possibly while you are using the computer? (that is,
other than this email!). If you have, then perhaps
my friends and I can help explain some of what might
be going on.

If you don't know what I mean, then you can probably
ignore this.

All the best,
Dante


Amanda wrote:

Dante, is it?

While I am curious about much of what you said, including how you found out about my blog, what struck an "emotional chord" with me is the context of your message.

Yes, this is quite out of the blue. While I find myself in some need to express what you are hinting at (if you are hinting at what I believe you may be), I am slightly confused as to how you ended up here.

I really wish that I could go into more detail, but I hope that you can understand a womans resistance to jump into the arms of her "Knight is Shining Armor" only to find a frog. IOW, comfort is what keeps me from admitting to the context.

At this time I really do not know what I am asking for. Maybe some more information, possibly some confirmation that we are both talking about the same thing. If the title of my wordpress means anything to you, please let me know. If it does not, then I know my answer.

One more question that I hope you can answer for me. How can I walk faster then a 737, traveling top speed at cruising altitude? Yes, I know that it sounds like a strange question, but it has been bothering me ever since my daddy asked me it this afternoon.

Thanks;

Amanda

I know, I was joking.

Moreso, Aden's a pain b/c Norton is blocking his page. XD

Also, this all seems like a spectacular setup to make trying to find a workaround for the 'voices,' so I'm sure that she won't hear them. Besides, she would've talked about it in her blogs by now, IMO.

---

I imagine the skulls will update the Chosen page soon.

---

I posted on her blog explaining the situation. Was I too haste? Whoops... Um... I guess she set it up so that it wasn't approved so nobody else can see what I wrote... Until we convince her we understand what's going on. I'm currently e-mailing her about her blog.

/so blunt

Edit:

Ok, looks like I received an e-mail back from Amanda.

Quote:

Yes, I read them and I am still trying to figure all of this out. You just can't throw this kind of emotional baggage onto a woman. You must ease her into it and give her an opportunity to adjust. Smile

Give me some time to go over what you wrote and take a look at the sites that you mentioned and I will get back to you.

Thanks;

Amanda

PS: I am sorry if the above comes across as rude. It is not meant to be that way, I promise. If all of this is what I think it may be, then I have a lot of questions that I hope you will be able to answer for me. Just give me a little time to soak all of this in.

 		New email exchange with Amanda.

I wrote:

Amanda,

Hello again. I am pleased that you replied. First of
all, I think the answer to your father's question is
that you actually have to be *on* the 737, walking
forward, and then you'll be going faster. Why did
your father ask you that?

Anyway, the title of your wordpress blog *does* mean
something to me, in a way that is very much related to
how we found it in the first place. I'm not sure
where to begin, but I am going to try to be as upfront
as possible. Recently, my friends and I have become
aware that several individuals have been "chosen" to
help save humanity. I know that this sounds very
dramatic, but we believe that it is true. We have
been in contact with these entities who want to help
save the word, and they were the ones that helped lead
us to two of these "chosen individuals" -- and now we
have reason to believe that you might be the third
because we were led to your wordpress site in the same
way. The other chosen were initially contacted via
"voices" that they seemed to hear through their
computer, which is why the title of your blog seems so
relevant. At first they thought that they might be
going crazy, but I think that we have helped convince
them that this is serious.

So, I guess I want to know if you've been experiencing
anything similar at all. I know that you have every
reason to be cautious about this, but if any of this
resonates with you, then I believe that we can perhaps
shed some light upon what is going on and help you
realize that you are not alone in this.

Let me know what you think,
Dante


Amanda wrote:

First.... Darn, that makes so much sense right now. I feel so stupid. Anyway, my daddy enjoys giving me riddles to try and solve. He says that puzzles keep the mind healthy, whatever that is supposed to mean. Thanks for the help on that one.

As for the rest of your message, I knew that you were going to be contacting me. If you understand the situation then you will also understand that I was "told" that you, and others like you, would be contacting me shortly. I just didn't know when or how. So I'm sorry about not being forward with you previously. I was actually kind of excited that it happened, but scared that it really happened (confusing, I know).

I probably deserve to be in an insane asylum after telling you this, but I am supposed to be contacted again soon after this contact has been made. Again, I do not know when or how that will happen.

You may notice that my blog is void of any mention of "the voices", as I have come to call them. I failed to make any mention of them because "hearing voices" in your head really is not something that you want the rest of the world to know about.

I still don't know what to make of all of this. However, given your pleasant messages of comfort and reassurance (you must be married or, at least attached, right?), I am hopeful that I will know in time.

Thanks again for your kind words.


Hugs and Kisses;

Amanda

 		Amanda's up on the chosen page.

Quote:
The Third Chosen
The third chosen has been found, by a message left to the second chosen. This cryptic message left to Aden has lead the path to the third chosen.

An ancient language was the key to unlocking this message.

http://amandap1att.wordpress.com/


Dante, you might want to tell her about this (it'd be good proof of what's gong on). I'm not telling her, given as she thinks I'm a creepy emotionless stalker. XD

Edit:

Response from Amanda.

That's okay. Maybe "reputation" was not quite the word that I was looking for, but that is neither here nor there.

I have been contacted by another who has mentioned these "skulls" so I now know that you are telling me the truth. I am still unsure how to take it. I am afraid that getting me to fully understand all of this will take some time.

As far as "the only voices you can hear" is concerned... you are somewhat correct. While I still hear my mothers voice from time to time, these are the only voices that I do not recognize. It is amazing what you can hear, even if you are deaf.

Thank you for being understanding.


Hugs and Kisses;

Amanda

Charlie <charlieol> wrote: Amanda,

I'm sorry for posting all that information in such a public place. I didn't mean to hurt your reputation, and I'm glad that you've hidden it.

The fact is that the first chosen was a young girl, and the second was a bartender. You seem much more mature than these two, so it makes sense that you'd want to hide some of your 'less-normal' attributes from the world.

I think that your blog title is referring to the voices of the Skulls I mentioned earlier, talking to you. If you can hear them, these would be the only voices you could hear.

I understand that you need to keep your reputation intact, so I'll refrain from posting sensitive information on your blog from now on.

 		And I think that's it from Amanda for now:

I wrote:

Amanda,

Let me assure you.. you definitely do not belong in an insane asylum! I can completely understand why you might feel that way, though. I can only imagine how weird this must be for you. Perhaps it would help to learn about the experiences of the other "Chosen."

This belongs to Missy Fisher: http://missyfisher.blogspot.com

And this belongs to Aden Warren: http://www.friendster.com/chibahcafe

There is one more thing that you should know, though, which might really make you *not* want to get involved with this at all. These entities who are trying to save the world... well, they appear to be a group of 13 crystal skulls.

Yes, you may roll your eyes now. Perhaps you should read about them yourself, which you can do starting here: http://www.freewebs.com/13crystalskulls/index.htm Don't be surprised when you see youself on the Chosen page!

The skulls really don't seem to be scary Halloween skulls at all. In fact, the last one, named Skyskull, was kind of a goof and enjoyed pig latin and funny faces. In fact, if you enjoy puzzles, then you are in luck, because whatever is going on seems to be all about riddles and puzzles!

Anyway, I will let you digest all of this information. Feel free to ask if you have any more questions. Also, if you *do* receive any further contact from the voices, you should let us know that as well. We're here to help!

Dante


Amanda wrote:

Will do, I promise.

I will also be sure to check out those links over the next hour or so. My favorite show ("MythBusters") is coming on soon and I never miss an episode.

Thank you very much for keeping me up to date on this whole thing. I will be sure to return the favor.


Hugs and Kisses;

Amanda

PS: Was it you or the other person who told me that the last "skull" was funny? Anyway, this one is not... it is quite rude.

 		Well I tried to see if Amanda could tell us anything more:

I wrote:

Amanda,

Well, rude how exactly??

Dante


Amanda wrote:

Hey there;

"Rude", as in "very demanding/pushy".

"You will listen!"
"You will know!"
"You will tell them!"

And all of this is going on in the middle of "Accounting" class. It stopped me DEAD in my tracks, to say the least. Thankfully I saved my responses until I got back home and was alone with whoever this voice was.

We often have masks, I can't help but wonder if this "voice" knows of my mask and is attempting to lift it?

Hugs and Kisses;

Amanda



is there anything puzzly going on here?

 		Don't think so. But I'd ask her about this 'mask' of hers--is it her deafness, or the pain of her mother's death, or what?

 		So yes, I asked about the mask...

I wrote:

That *does* sound rude. So what are your responses
like, then? Do you push back?? Smile

I am also curious about this 'mask.' What kind of
mask do you wear?

Dante


Amanda wrote:

Hello, again;

"Pushing back" lies just underneath one of the many masks that I wear. I may look sweet and innocent, but no one bosses me around. Not my daddy, not my friends and definitely not some "voice" that obviously enjoys interrupting my life in order to get in a word or two.

From what I remember, my response to the initial contact went a little like this:

"Okay, so who or what in the **** are you?"
"You will listen!"
"You have talked enough. It's my turn to talk now."
"You will know!"
"Seriously, you need to shut up."
"You will tell them!"
"Tell who what?"
"You will know!"

At that point I was getting a little on edge so I decided it was better to not ask any questions or make any more comments and just let be said what needed to be said in order to get it over with. That is when the "voice" told me that you, and others like you, would be contacting me soon and that I was to deliver a message. Something about it being my "destiny" or some bull like that.

I really didn't know what to make of the whole situation until you contacted me last night. Then I understood that, yes, I wasn't insane and that I was chosen. For what purpose other then to be used as a "delivery tool" I don't know. I guess I will find out with the rest of you.

My other masks will remain my own. Some are physical, others are emotional. Either way they are what I hide behind in order to make it through this thing called life.


Hugs and Kisses;

Amanda

 		[UPDATE] Puzzle on Amanda's Blog
Ok, so if you check out Amanda's blog, you'll see a pic.

A bunch of different colored blocks. My theory? HEX codes. I'm gonna try that.

 		So I asked Amanda about her message and she said she would put it on her blog, and so she did!

Amanda wrote:

Check out my wordpress blog. I was actually brave enough to put the message that I was given up on the net for the whole world to witness (we improve ourselves through baby steps, I say).

I can't even begin to tell you what it means, but you mentioned something about dealing with puzzles (which I am assuming that is what this thing is) in the past so I trust that you will have some knowledge as to what the message may be.

Hugs and Kisses;

Amanda

 		pic solved
Good thinking Rekidk, HEX codes turned out to be the right way to go.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

The name of the image is gursvefggjb.jpg, which is ROT-13 for thefirsttwo.

I obtained the following HEX codes for the colors of each square:

04033C 15123C 15123C 13275A 1A0F1D
110914 22311C 121409 121409 121409
090A05 221910 050304 110708 150707
221819 181621 141319 010101 12090A

Taking the first two numbers of each code, you get:

04 15 15 13 1A
11 22 12 12 12
09 22 05 11 15
22 18 14 01 12

Using A=01, this can be translated as:

DOOM?
KULLL
IVEKO
VRNAL

which is close enough to DOOMSKULL LIVEJOURNAL

and sure enough: http://doomskull.livejournal.com/
