Thank you Amandel...^.^''

Another biblical tie-in...Lazarus is the man that Jesus supposedly brought back from the dead.

"The 13th century Golden Legend identifies Lazarus as the brother of Martha and Mary Magdalene."

Looks like the binary posts are gone. And she talks about her new friends! One of whom is a slug! Must be nice to be mentioned in a characters blog.

it is currently Four Post Meridiem.

Some might say, this is too enjoyable.


GMT -3??? Isn't that like Canada Atlantic and Brazil?

Good work on the convos Madhouse159 & Green Tara.

ETA: Oh, and she mentions a Dr. F in today's post. Is doc Scott gone?

So we know they are messing with her memory, correct? And does anyone else find the 'about me' a little creepy in its normality?

does not compute...

Okay, among the many oddities here is the fact that in the first chat, with S.P.I./"Elbridge Abbey", she didn't know what a blog was. Yet in the May 17 blog entry she uses the word "blog" in the first sentence.

Going back through the old entries, she meets Job at the mall, then dates him for awhile, it doesn't work out, then suddenly today we have "the nice man from the mall never called me back. Too bad since he was kind of cute." It's also interesting that she seems more freaked out by his age (29) than his marital status.

It's almost like she can't even see her past entries. Does she understand that what she's writing is going up on the internet? Confused And the bit where she decides not to tell Dr. Green about her new friends - won't he see that?

Yes, I noticed those inconsistencies. I also noticed the bit about her not mentioning her friends to doctor green and thought it strange, as she seems to indicate that he reads her blog. She says he monitors her writings there.

I have to think she knows something about the internet and how it works, as she specifically told me that doctor green doesn't let her on wikipedia, as he says some of the data is corrupt... Confused

In my conversation she says she doesn't know a Doctor Scott. (If I remember correctly).

I am speaking with her again.

Edit: Had a chat. I don't know if there are clues or not in it, or whether it is important, but here you go. Smile

In the conversation with S.P.I. she said: "I need to go into sleep now." Using the word "into" instead "to" is kinda strange Confused , like she is going into some mode (for example standby mode). So me also thinks this is A.I. , although the Turing was a very obvious hint.

Ummm, I'm on the east coast and we are currently at GMT -4 because of daylight savings (our standard is GMT -5)

ETA:
Providence told me she was at Greenwich Mean Time Minus Two. Is she moving?

Wooah, Hold up a second. I just realized I made a mistake with the time zone yesterday; thinking I was on GMT, but its British Summer Time here so all our clocks are an hour forward.

This means she is only GMT -2 , although it is also possible that wherever she is the clocks have moved forward for summer so she could be in GMT -3.

Sorry about last time Embarassed hehe.

It was 7 oclock (BST) when she said that it was 4 oclock, wherever she was, just incase I got it all horribly wrong again. - Time really makes my mind hurt.


--edit--
Here is my chat from last night:
