sigh . . . you northeast liberal arts college/baccanal kids offer me such endless amusement but that's nothing you haven't heard me say before. Terrific interview!

Any girl who had to endure for years of dealing with those pseudo-sensitive man whores that Wesleyan produces in droves deserves a Gothamist Interview.

try washing down that thai with a little seagram, son. but you really shouldn't be taking someone else's food in the first place, you never know who's watching your every move...

Wow...all these comments. Thanks for the apology, Johannes. But, I was being a tad sensitive earlier. I got this interview due to trading some of that good gossip I mentioned previously. And I'll be sure to give Krucoff a cut if I strike it...umm, employed. We can negotiate the terms. And more flattery please. It's always welcome!

Sorry, messed up my real email. here it is. Again, though freedom of speech is important, especially in these times, i should not have flown off the handle and dissed you.

Oh, fine. I apologize also.

I apologize for my comments. It's just been a bad day and I was just a little envious that she got so much attention as to get a Gothamist interview. Best of luck in finding a job, i know it's hard, i gave up and went to school instead. so again, sorry to all i offended, especially Candice.

you guessed it! she caught my eye right around 45th and broadway...or was it fremont and mission? i can never remember these things.

So, krucoff, you saw her on the street and wanted to do her? a fine choice.

i find people in mischievous ways, sometimes bribes but i asked candice for the interview before knowing her employment situation (or knowing her at all for that matter) and there isn't a "hire me" angle to this. her unemployed plight is not at all unique and that wasnt the point of it, but her many other aspects are indeed special. i will remind you candice, if you get employment as a result of this interview then i am entitled to 5% of the rest of your life's earnings. you heard me, LIFE'S EARNINGS. i accept paypal.

Hey Candice- I'm putting in MY real e-mail address. Loved the interview and I'll say it-you are adorable!

Come on, now. Let's not bicker. Wesleyan is all about creating a positive environment -- a very expensive, often stylish environment -- in which divergent and sometimes divisive opinions find an open and accomodating forum for discussion. That said: Candice, I like your Wesleyan pluck, and I wasn't underwhelmed by your interview. From one English major to another (who was also unemployed and living at home for waaaaaaay longer than you've been), I salute you. Your interview has launched a kind of vain nostalgia that, had we not had such cookie-cutter experiences, I might actually be proud of. Go Wes, and send me your resume!

Candice

Tue, 16 Mar 2004 15:52:12 -0500

Wow...thanks for your opinion, Johannes. And I could've sworn I said that myself. It's not like I put my phone number and a link to my resume at the bottom. You dropped in with your little criticism. Happy, now? It's especially rich that you couldn't put in a real email address. Go stand under a bridge, troll!

I appreciate Gothamist trying to help out this girl, but who cares? So she's unemployed, tons of people are. Her singular story isn't that singular, it's underwelming. and looks desperate.

I love that Candice gives the right directions to tourists. If they are annoying types in SoHo, I tend to misdirect them. And on Sunday, the matriarch of a tourist family FREAKED out at the Park Place 2/3 station, demanding to know where the World Trade Center was. I decided to direct them to where the WTC used to be and leave it at that.
