Carl Edwards said
SKIPPACK, WA - A community college student planned a school shooting, but apparently lacked the motivation to follow through. Carl Wesley Edwards was taken into custody Wednesday morning after his stepfather reported him to local police. The man became suspicious of his stepson when he was searching through the twenty-four year old's basement bedroom and found a hand-drawn map of the school, a case of .22 caliber ammunition, and a half-written manifesto. "The boxes of bullets is what really did it for me." says Edwards's stepfather. "He started a paper route earlier this month, but then he quit. I think he was saving up to buy the gun."
When asked about the incomplete manifesto he found, Edwards's stepfather stated that he was not too worried about it. "Well, it wouldn't be the first time we found some of Carl's unfinished work. He started a novel last winter. I don't think he even got past the first page. Boy couldn't even finish a grocery list."
Known in cyberspace as "CarlSaysFTW", the majority of Carl's social life existed online. Several of his internet "buddies" were contacted during the investigation but only one replied by saying "Carl seemed like a pretty normal guy. The only thing I didn't like about him was that he always signed off in mid-conversation." He frequented video game and film message boards as well as several social networking sites. The "about me" section of the young man's myspace page states "I'll think of something cool to put here later."
According to one of Edwards's neighborhood friends, Brent Lesman, Edwards mentioned the idea of the planned school shooting several times. "Yeah, he told me he was thinking about doing something crazy like that a few weeks back, but I didn't really think anything of it. I mean, two years ago he told me he was writing a screenplay, and nothing ever came of that." Lesman claims that he could think of no motive that his friend may have had for plotting the small-scale massacre. "I can't imagine that he had time to make any enemies. He only had class twice a week."
Though the potential for Edward's to actually complete his mission was apparently lacking, his stepfather felt that a crisis was avoided. "If I hadn't been searching around the basement for the laundry detergent, I never would've found this stuff and several people would've died. I thought I'd rather be safe than sorry. I always told my wife, if that boy ever learned to apply himself, he'd be dangerous."

I hate it when guys try to act like banging a drunken college girl is hard. It doesn't take spit game. It doesn't take effort. You just give her a few drinks and then let her do her act. You're not special, you're just there.
I missed your call, Chris. I had a party at my house Saturday, and nothing got done for about a day and a half. The only thing is...I got to stop hanging with people that get lost all the time. I had to spend half the time on the phone going, "No make a right at the gas station. Why did you make a left at the 7-Eleven? What do you mean you're in the Poconos?"

DC, I was using a lebowski quote, not being dirty. Tom A is the perfect gentleman. Probably the nicest. funniest guy I have ever met.
I had no intention of going, none. when balls canceled, I was out. but then Tom called me up and within 2 seconds, I was convinced.
I asked my friend to come along so that it wouldn't be weird. But an hour before we were about to leave, she declined. I told her the reason I was going to NYC was to meet up with old school friends. Tom was in on this idea and we were going to lie all night. but she said, "i think I'll be bored if you're with all your old college friends so I'm not going". I didn't have the heart to tell her the truth.
But I still had to go because at this point it was too late to cancel. . .

I write how I write. deal with it.
So, I had to rush to the bus station. I threw all my shit in a plastic bag. I missed the 6:00 bus and got on the 6:40. Then I hit a shitload of traffic. That's when it hit me. what the fuck am I doing? I am going to NYC to meet a complete stranger from the fucking internet by myself. I almost started laughing in my seat. but I held it together. I started doing my hair and makeup in the dark and decided it would be a fun night regardless.
I arrived at the port authority at like 9:20. I ran into the bathroom and got changed into my slutty shirt which i promised all of you I would wear. I didn't realize quite how slutty it was until the entire Times Square area looked at me like I was a hooker, even the asians.

I arrived at O'lunney's Irish Pub really fucking late. I practically ran their from the bus station so I was all sweaty and out of breath. and the plastic bag with my shit in it was black and because I was sweaty the dye on the bag ran all over my arm. so I had to run right to the bathroom and wash my arms. I looked up in the mirror and realized that by putting my makeup on in the dark on a bus, it was less than perfect.
I had a zit in the middle of my eyebrows and I put cover up on it but forgot to rub it in, so I had this big peach dot on my face.
(tom a did not know about this....until now of course)
So then I met him around the other side of the bar. He was strikingly handsome and there was not an ounce of weirdness at all.
