Chicago's very own Crystal Chiang and her Craigslist adventures.

There is a 24 year old self-proclaimed nerd from Wicker Park making posts to craigslist and reposting your responses to her blog. Some of her responses are not very nice, so I think she needs to be called out on it. Her name is Crystal Chiang. She goes by the online names of: sugarobscura, logicalbiscotti, and silverki55. She thinks everyone is out of her league, despite dropping out of med school to go to culinary school. Below are just some of the highlights of her blog 's responses to your posts:




"I love idiots.

How about a game of "try to be more realistic about what league you're in next time?"

Okay, kiddo, maybe it's time someone sat you down and told you about the concept of "leagues."

You sound unexceptional.

Oy. What is it with these kids answering my ad?

So, you're a tool *and* a douche?

The best part is that this dude is even kind of shaped like Pac-Man.

To be honest, I didn't read his e-mail all the way through until two seconds before I pasted it in here
A victim of pop culture isn't necessarily a hero. It might be that he wants to see Tekken on the big screen, but he's not sure. He can't answer the animated series question, because either he hasn't seen an animated series in a while, or he's been blind for some time-- it's hard to tell, because he types like a 10 year old (that's right, I just demoted him two years). I just don't understand how someone could basically score a zero on my questions, and still think that they're somehow in my league. Did he really think that this would impress me enough for me to respond back? Did he really think that no one else would write a better response? Please.

Apart from a certain statment, this is just a run-of-the-mill mediocre-at-best response. (Ok, this is funny because she rips on people for their spelling and grammar, yet she cannot spell statement correctly)
Well, I guess he didn't want a relationship that badly, since he didn't bother writing anything about himself at all, except for the fact that he likes making fun of the desperate people on Craig's List.

Hi, I found your response in my inbox and I thought it would be really cool to post it to my blog. I don't know what you were thinking by responding, nor should you expect a response from me. I thought your response was only moderately entertaining at best.

Nice job on the half-assed response you sent me. It seems clear to me that it took you very little time to write it-- after all, you answered a majority of the questions incorrectly."

So, Crystal, I'm afraid I'm going to have to tell you publicly that you are not a nice person. And your actions against those who wish to remain anonymous are not so anonymous themselves. The information you gathered and posted about these people was private. The information I gathered and posted about you was very, very much public.

In fact, she made numerous postings ripping on people's personal Craigslist responses and then posting them publically:

Crystal Chiang's first posting of personal information from responses she received on her numerous Chicago Craigslist personal's post
Crystal Chiang's second posting of reponses from her adventures in Chicago Craigslist dating
Hmmm, google didnt cache her third posting of responses from her personals post to Craigslist, damn!
Crystal Chiang's fourth posting of responses from her Craigslist dating ad
Crystal Chiang's fifth posting of responses, in which she says she becomes "downright snarky!". And shes on other dating websites as well! I wonder if shes posting those responses somewhere too.
Crystal Chiang's sixth post, I'm not even going to make an effort here. I'm tired. Okay, that's enough feeling good. Shall we continue tearing people apart now?". Yes Crystal, lets tear you apart. You deserve it.
"The funniest thing about internet anonymity" oh the irony!
Three words: computer science major. Automatic fail. Oh, and then his answers leave something to be desired. Three words: Med School Dropout. To play with your easy bake oven. "The single biggest turn-off in nerddom is geeking out about a truly wretched anime series."
And the last one. I'm spent.

Owen Engine, located in Wicker Park, has the following listed for her:
As the child of scientists, Crystal possesses a heady sense of all that goes into baking but also believes that food should reward the soul as much as the stomach, just like her mother’s dumplings.  While attending the Culinary Institute of America in New York, Crystal worked at Marcus Samuelsson’s Aquavit, Manhattan’s premier Scandinavian restaurant, and then she worked at Alto, with Chef Michael White, where she studied Northern Italian pastry.
