hi happy birthday rose!!! <3 Hello, and thanks. did you get johns present yet? I just opened it this very moment. What a stunning coincidence you would ask about it now. I am stunned. yeah i know!! what will you make with it? And who said it was something from which something else could be made? well john did tell me what it was duh..... I suppose I'll take a stab at learning the craft. It's the least I can do in response to the subtle dig concealed in his gesture. He often tells me I "need a new hobby" when I make perfectly reasonable analytical remarks. oh but rose i dont think he meant anything like that by it!! you see not everybody always means the opposite of what they say the way you and dave always do Maybe. His birthday is in a few months, isn't it? yep! i finally finished a present for him ive been working on it for years!!!! Years? It's so hard to tell when you're joking. Or if you're even capable of it. heheheh.... :) i just mailed it too so it is sure to get there on time mail takes a while to get anywhere from here!!! I'll probably craft something with strong sentimental value. That should burn him. i dont think you really mean that! I guess not. So, shall I expect a green package dropped to my house via airmail from whatever screwball cranny of the globe you're tucked into? err....... no :( sorry but you are sort of hard shop for <_< besides i have something for you today that i think you will like better than some thing in a box! Oh? it is a tip!!!! This is already intriguing enough to compensate for the grave scarcity of lavish gifts parachuting from the sky. Please go on. did you have a pet a long time ago that died? Yes. ok well how did you feel about your cat, did you love him a lot? "ok well", I didn't mention it was a cat, or that it was a male. Let's pretend I'm surprised and you're embarrassed and move on. To answer your question, I would describe my feelings toward the animal as lukewarm. ummmmm ok.... thats fine!!! it doesnt really matter i think, just..... what if someone told you you could play a game that would bring him back to life? If someone told me that, I would regard the remark with a great deal of skepticism. If that someone was you, on the other hand, then I would have to ask preemptively: Is that someone you? yes that someone is me!!!!!!!! i just thought you might find it interesting So what is this game? oh i dont know im just saying is all i think youll hear about it later and maybe you can talk to john and dave about it they are way more into all that stuff than i am!!!! I'll see what the word on the street is about it. In due time. For now I should probably order a copy of Knitting for Assholes. It would be a shame if I ran late with John's present.
