Christmas Comes Early?

I just got an e-mail from The University telling students to please check their e-mail. I’ll let you find the irony in that one for yourself.

Speaking of The University, I’m winding down yet another semester, having just completed a 3 hour Tax Accounting final while sporting an intense headache the entire time and getting about 3 hours of sleep the night before due to said headache. I’m sure I did fine.

But, with the semester ending, it also means I’ll not be seeing the dear roommate, Spider, as often since he’ll be working during the break while living with his parents. And I’ll be doing the same, just without the working bit. Logically, since the two of us won’t be seeing each other properly before Christmas time, we decided to exchange gifts early. And, psh. It was his idea to exchange gifts . . .

Really, the truth is I hadn’t actually properly exchanged Christmas gifts with anyone in over 5 years, and I found it embarrassingly nice. I suppose there’s still some unfulfilled yearning for traditional family gatherings in me somewhere. And Spider and I might not be exactly a traditional family (or a family at all), but it’s the closest substitute I’ve got at the moment.

Please insert your gay jokes after the beep.

I thought my school was the only one who sent out stupid emails telling people to check email! I don’t think it sounds gay, I think it’s cute!!

Really I certainly hope you’re not gay, may change a few aspects of our relationship. Not to mention my entire family exchanges gifts, I don’t know what that says about us, I suppose we do live near San Francisco…my! Anyway love, I hope you feel better. Do you still have a headache? Must get lots of rest and lots of water.

Funny thing is, I don’t ever check my school email because I get it all sent to gmail, and I rarely find the need to email professors or whatever…so I went and deleted about 10 pages of unread messages today. Thank you, GC&SU. Why are you living with your parents over the break if you’ve got an apartment? Hell, that’s why I’m getting an apartment, so I don’t have to live at home anymore. Freak.

Yes, really I never check my student email. And really Mat, exchanging gifts is not gay… but if that’s what you thing of it then I guess I won’t get you anything…

Hah. You’re right, Spider is like John. Um, and I mean that in the nicest possible way, excluding the criminal record and serial cheating and latent drug addiction and so on….

its been 5 yrs since you’ve exchanged a gift? How sad. Well, that’s all I really had to say. Enjoy your holiday. -Steph

You’ve sent too many messages or you’ve received too many messages? Michael says I should return your note. He said you were fit and someone he’d consider fucking. Or maybe that’s what I wish he would’ve said. I don’t know, sometimes I confuse fantasy and reality.
