Announcement: Transcription of Catherine date underway -

[asperhes]

I'm starting a new thread here so that this gets visibility. The mods can do what they feel is appropriate.

I'm starting a transcription of Catherine date part 1. If you have already started this, let me know ASAP so I'm not wasting my time.

Anyone else who decides to transcribe other parts of this date should announce it here so that efforts are not duplicated.

There are people who understandably want transcripts NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW, so I'm just going to throw caution to the wind here.

Here, let's try this.

Catie Date Video Part One: transcription finished.
Catie Date Video Part Two: transcription finished.
Catie Date Video Part Three: transcription finished.
Catie Date Video Part Four: transcription finished.
Catie Date Video Part Five: Being worked on.
Catie Date Video Part Six: transcription finished.
Catie Date Video Part Seven: transcription finished.
Catie Date Video Part Eight: transcription finished.
Catie Date Video Part Nine: transcription finished.

Finished transcriptions are in the post right after this one.

 

[asperhes]

Edit: These are all the finished transcripts. Six is here: https://kiwifarms.net/threads/annou...-of-catherine-date-underway.8096/#post-574468

I saved mine as plain text files. They look OK when I open it with Windows Wordpad Application.

I'd say they're about 90% complete. Catherine is the hardest to hear. Others should proofread.

 

[Pikonic]

Chris (to waitress): Yeah bring me a sweet tea, and do y’all have cream here?
Waitress: [?]
Chris: Yeah, half and half. Yeah, and bring me some half and half cream please.

I'm pretty sure the waitress is saying "we have half and half and one precent milk."

 

[asperhes]

Starting part 2.

 

[Mitsunari]

I have an exam on Tuesday but after that, I could start transcribing too, if you'd like some help.

 

[MACH-IV]

I'm pro at transcribing stuff and looks like a few others are down to help out. We should each pick one part and combine them all and fix any mistakes.

I'm gonna start Part 6 in a few hours when I have some free time. If anyone else has already started let me know.

 

[MACH-IV]

Has anybody considered using Genius.com for transcriptions? It allows users to add line by line annotations which is great for Christorians.
Once I transcribe part 6 i'll put it up on Genius and see how it looks.

 

[AnOminous]

I've done a lot of transcription. Not sure when/where/what to grab and start, but if there's an agreed-upon format I could do something. Just let me know.

I even have a USB foot pedal I just attached for a different reason.

 

[asperhes]

I just finished part 2 (the second 15 minutes) and posted it in that thread. Again, anyone who wants to jump in is free to do so, but should announce it first in this thread, so that someone else doesn't waste their time making a duplicate.

I've done a lot of transcription. Not sure when/where/what to grab and start, but if there's an agreed-upon format I could do something. Just let me know.

I even have a USB foot pedal I just attached for a different reason.

I was thinking that foot pedal would be great, I've seen it in action.

There's no agreed on format and it doesn't really matter, as it'll all get posted to the CWCki eventually and get sorted out. If you feel like getting started, feel free.

 

[AnOminous]

Part 5 taken? I'll do that if not.

 

[asperhes]

Part 5 taken? I'll do that if not.

It's officially yours.

 

[MACH-IV]

Alright, here's part 6. I'll edit it when we decide how to format these.

-Continued from pt. 5 where Chris is discussing his extended family-
Chris: -pretty much close minded to her nowadays
Al: Are they assholes?
Chris: Yea, essentially, I would say, I would say that, yea. They uh, yea she grew up in Red Oak. She was born in Red Oak, Virginia and uh, within the Weston family there they spread rumors about her. Sort of things like, she’s a slut. That sort of thing.
Catie: What would make them say that?
Al: Yea, why would they… talking bad about someone in your own family, that’s just like harming yourself
Catie: That’s just bullying
Chris: Yea I would say either their assholes or they’re just stressed with their own lives. If they would do it when they were younger I would definitely say “assholes”.
Al: Was it just misconceptions or rumors?
Chris: Yea, I would say definitely misconceptions and rumors. Uh, even, even Cole who was born of my mother there uh…
Al: Oh yea Cole, that guy you mentioned earlier
Chris: Yea… uh anyway, he’s got a chip on his shoulder against my mother as well because uh, of things that he’s been told about her from things, from the relatives, and his father in law, even his birthfather
Al: Wait. Cole, your mother is his mother too, right?
Chris: Yes
Al: That’s mother and son
Chris: Yea
Al: and he doesn’t want to take care of her when she’s sick?
Chris: Yea, he’s like, he just doesn’t wanna do a thing with her
Catie: Wow
Al: What’s he been told? What are these people telling him?
Chris: -sigh- yea, well my mother, she could tell it better than I could
Catie: I mean, did he tell you at all? It seems like something brothers would talk about.
Chris: Well, uh, well actually all of my half-siblings are all distant, cuz I was child when they were all adults
Al: There’s an age gap thalere.
Chris: Big age gap.
Al: So that makes it harder to communicate with them then?
Chris: yea, even more difficult when they don’t even give you the information themselves and you have to try to look it up on the interne- through whatever and then you, then you send em a letter or email multiple times and then they don’t respond.
Al: So wait, you didn’t even have their contact info, you had to look it up online?
Chris: I had to look up Cole’s information online, uh, from my father, he had two children Allen and Carol. Allen is a, a alloth- an optomologlist [meaning ophthalmologist] in Chestfield County. David Allen Chandler, doctor. Anyway he lives over in ??ville. My father knew that, he did. umm… as for Carol, he, we have no idea where the Hell she is and Allen would be able to know where she is definitely and Allen still doesn’t want to do a thing with me or his mother in law here.
Al: So, how long has it been since you’ve been in touch with him?
Chris: Well, my, well, my father and I before he died uhh, earlier summer two thousand ‘leven, we tried to find him at his house, where he’s living at but they were out. They might have gone on vacation uhh we had an idea, we had an idea ?without any notice? but we had uuuh had like a couple of gifts for Allen and his family cuz he got married, has a daughter named Savanna.
Catie: Ok.
Chris: Yea, so anyway, uh so we left the presents with their next door neighbor.
Al: So you drove to their house then or wherever they live?
Catie: Just drove there and they weren’t there?
Chris: Yea
Al: What did you get for them, what presents?
Chris: My father had like this stained glass bird he wanted to give that too Sava- yea the gifts were for Savanna really. Yea he wanted to give her the stained glass bird and for a little while I collected Squinkies.
Al: Squinkies? What’s a Squinkie?
Chris: They’re the cute little animal-type plastic squishy things. You can put ‘em on pencils or pencils and pegs and they’re like, there like little various characters -
Al: Oh like, those little erasers you put on the end of pencils sometimes.
Chris: Yea, yea, yea, but these are not erasers.
Al: Oh, they’re like decorative.
Chris: Yea
Catie: I never even heard of that ????????
Chris: Yea they came out like within the past decade
Al: Cool.
Catie: I guess, yea I would’ve been overseas then.
Al: So there’s no… your father’s side of the family there’s no… on your mother’s side of the family there’s nobody either?
Chris: Nobody on my father’s side of the family, they’re all old as well. And pretty much my father, he has siblings but they’re all half siblings as well and he never really got close to them either, they, they never really got close to him.
Catie: So you and your mom really don’t have much of a support network.
Chris: Yea, kind of up a creek with a wing and a prayer… (pause) I didn’t want to say without a paddle, because we did sort of have a paddle so that’s why “with a wing and a prayer”
Al: That… that sucks man.
Catie: Yea. That’s terrible. I mean, we haven’t always been close but at least we have family.
Al: So what are your long term plans, I mean, where do you see you and Catie five years from now?
Chris: Well, hopefully uhhh, more organized and all that and uhhh… definitely would like to be married.
Al: So are you gonna be living with Catie then or are three going to be living with your mom?
Chris: Yea I think, uhh, I think uhh, i think we’re uhhh, all going to be living together. Yea cuz I don’t want to leave my mother behind. I’m sure all of us will be living together.
Al: So do you plan on doing this Sonichu thing, comic book thing or continue with the art?
Chris: Yea, i’m thinking I am going to continue with the art.
Al: So have you thought about getting a job at all though? I know the economies bad right now.
Chris: Yea, i’m gonna apply… i’m apply for a part time job after uhhh, yea after we move back in, uhh but I guess part time, I guess I might be flexible. I might try beforehand but i’m still not certain about that when the house will be completed.
Al: Yea
Chris: and we have to move everything back to the house - we’re renting a storage unit as well.
Al: You don’t have like a, like with the applications for job checks or anything, one of the things that can make it harder is if you have a felony on your record. I mean, you don’t have any crimes on your record, do you?
Chris: -sigh- No, not really, but the trolls -
Al: You never got arrested or anything like that?
Chris: Yea, my mother and I we have been arrested… upon a trap set by, set by the guy who pressed charges against us.
Al: So was he one of the trolls then, or one of these internet bullies?
Chris: Yea I say he was among the trolls I say everybody and the police around here are amongst the trolls as well. I mean, it’s not confirmed but my mother and I we end up speculating there.
Al: So was it these -
Catie: So you and your mom both think -
Chris: It’s the impression we get from, from, when we were talks with the police while we were under their custody at the time, or when we were going to report something, like we reported the trawwwllls and their ? have been going on and nothing got done.
Catie: There’s not always a lot they can do about that. What made you think, like apart from that, what made you conclude that trolls were in the police.
Chris: uuuh
Al: Yea, what made you think that the cops were trolls?
Catie: Yea what had you -
Chris: Essentially it was within the attitude and the signal- the body language and subtle signal
Catie: The attitude and body language, like how so, what specific?
Al: Were the police not very professional then?
Chris: Yea they were not, they were not very professional, they’re more brutish - more like shoot first, or arrest first, beat ‘em up, ask questions later.
Catie: You got beat up by the police?
Chris: Yea we both did that time.
Al: So were you physically injured? You could’ve sued the police if they abused you.
Chris: Yea we were completely injured, my mother was too.
Catie: What happened? Did you break a bone, did you need stitches?
Chris: uuh.. no bones were broken, but they broke my glasses
Al: Well that’s still damage to property, it’s not physical injury, but, so did they pay for your glasses then?
Chris: uh -sigh- no, we, my mother and I we were already going through our own stress from the court dates and everything. Fortunately we got settled, we got stuck with a felony charge, mother and I, but that’ll be cleared up next June or July.
Catie: Next June, so do you have a court date?
Chris: uhhh i don’t think there is a court date, i’m not sure.
Al: When was this? What happened?
Catie: Yea, when did this happen?
Chris: Yea this was October 2011. (pause) Michael Snyder, the Game Hobby place I had been banned from there cuz Michael hated my guts April 2008 and uh he was definitely a total asshole.
Catie: How was he an asshole to you?
Chris: He was just very mean, uncaring, he wouldn’t even give service when I went in one time before that, that just, uh ask him ok everythings past everything and he’s like “no” he’s like “no” and he was gonna call the police on evidence so I left
Al: So wait a second, you went into the store one time and you talked with him and what happened?
Chris: Yea, I tried to reason with him. Like I was like uhh -sigh- I had it audio recorded and I uploaded it for the reason i had at the time -
Al: Wait a second, why would you record it and then why would you upload it? Where did you upload it to?
Chris: Well, because I, because I (pause) well it was because, you know, so I could prove Michael was as mean as he was. Had he had not been mean I wouldn’t have uploaded it at all, but I mean it was audio when I had a digital camera in my pocket and it recorded the audio.
Catie: Ok?
Al: And when was this?
Chris: Uhh this was like ummm two thousand nine, or ten.
Catie: Ok so it was a few years ago.
Chris: Yea
Al: So he was just basically an asshole?
Chris: Yea he was just, it was like every time it was just like every time I got half way through sentence he was just like “nope.” rah blah blah blah “nope” blah blah blah “nope.” Just a minute, “nope, nope, nope.” bipbipbibpbip “nope” -
Al: So Chris, that was in two-thousand and ten then?
Chris: Nine or ten I don’t remember exactly
Al: And you said you got arrested in 20011
Chris: Yea because it was a trap essentially. My mother and I, we were in that part of town and we saw a sign on a store window that said “under new management” so I figured Michael was gone, right, but no he was the new manager of the place now and he had the police on call, ready right there at the people, at the Staple’s store to, to be like witnesses and everything and mom and I we tried to make our escape but they, but nobody would let us and then like, Snyder paid the police, told “beat the crap outta ‘em and arrest ‘em!” something like that.
Catie: He bribed the police?
Chris: Yea
Al: Why would he do that? Why would he hate you so much?
(pause for obnoxious birthday song in background)
Al: Why would he do that? He sounds like a really cruel guy?
Chris: Yea, he was really cruel.
Catie: How’d you find out he bribed the cops, did somebody tell you?
Chris: Yea, well, pretty much my mom figured it out, essentially and you know it’s like com- it’s like common sense to put two and two together and he figured that he would profit from me and my mother, he thought we were rich but we were not so rich. We had- it was a lot of money we had, but Mr. C, my father had left us and it paid the court and lawyer fees.
Al: So what were you charged with then? I mean, it sounds like you didn’t really do anything.
Chris: Yeaaa we were charged with trespassing.
Al: Well you mentioned a felony too. It doesn’t sound like trespassing would just be a felony
Chris: There was also uhh… There were -
Al: You said you tried to make an escape, did you run from the cops?
Chris: uhhh a bit… yea.
Al: Wow
Chris: Yea, they were blocking, they were try to block our path out but we made it out but then they cornered us at the nearby court building in the back parking lot, behind the building.
Al: Chris, I’ve had to deal with cops myself, and i’ve gotta say, you never look forward to dealing with the cops but they’re still the police. You gotta treat them with respect. Even if you don’t agree with them you still have to show respect.
Chris: Yea… that’s…
Al: It’s just important to do.
Chris: Yea, that’s still the process i’m trying to get to. ? uhh giving the good from the bad from and i’m still seeing bad in a lot of ‘em because with the bribery and everything they can be corrupted. Cuz you don’t know what’s going on in their heads.
Catie: You realize that if you find actual evidence, like if you could actually put a case together for that you can sue them and you can -
Al: Yea, if they slip up and you get evidence that they’ve been bribed or that they maltreated you -
Catie: You could get the charges dropped and it’ll be off your record completely and it’ll be like it never happened.
Chris: Yea but.. yea…but that hardly… My mother thought that at one point but we we’re so stressed and everything we couldn’t really act on it.
Al: It can be hard to find evidence of that, yea.
Catie: It can be hard, but if this is all true, if this is really what happened then goodness knows what else has been happening.
Chris: well.. yea, yea
Catie: So you could be able to help a lot of people if you did that.
Al: Yea if the police around here are acting like that you might not be the only victim. They could be doing that to other people.
(pause)
Al: What happened then, did you get a felony on your record?
Chris: Yea, because there was a little bit of -

[Mrs Paul]

Half and half in iced tea? God, that's disgusting.

 

[asperhes]

Starting part 3.

 

[asperhes]

Just finished part 3 and posted it in the appropriate thread.

 

[Takayuki Yagami]

Half and half in iced tea? God, that's disgusting.

And it doesn't make sense if he thinks he's royalty now. Upper classes don't usually add cream to tea from what I understand.

 

[LordCustos3]

Parts 7 & 8?
Good god, how long winded is that bloviating blowhard?
How did the girl not just jump up after 30 minutes and go "Nope. I'm done. I can't stand it anymore. There are no lulz here. I'm leaving."

And it doesn't make sense if he thinks he's royalty now. Upper classes don't usually add cream to tea from what I understand.

Too true. They use the tears of peasants and orphans.

 

[Stud2Stud]

How did the girl not just jump up after 30 minutes and go "Nope. I'm done. I can't stand it anymore. There are no lulz here. I'm leaving."

Well, they didn't really go for "Lulz" and more for information. Unfortunately, Chris is a broken record of fiction and falsehood.

And it doesn't make sense if he thinks he's royalty now. Upper classes don't usually add cream to tea from what I understand.

Nah, that's just the phony aristocrats taking away all the limelight from the TRUE and HONEST Weston royalty.

 

[Sonitistic]

I'm so excited I could shit myself. I love you Kiwis.
