For a certain redhead:

My roomate Rodney (the one I cannonballed) just walked by the office, and this transpired:
Rodney: "I don't believe you."
Me(paying attention to my email): "Huh?"
Rodney: "You've been on that computer for 7 hours! You even ate your dinner in here. How can you sit there for 7 hours?"
Me (grinning): "Easy. It's all for a girl."
Rodney: "A girl? A girl's got you in here instead of eating dinner with us?"
Me:(still grinning) "Absofuckinlutely." "And you were watching American Idol."
Rodney(continuing on his way): "I do not get straight people."

and also,............

When I wrote this in Mexico, there was no "whomever" involved. I knew exactly who I was talking about.

"I don't know, I'm a little drunk, so maybe I'm saying more than I should, but...I've only met a few truly kindred, fascinating girls in my life, and in most cases they were either already with someone or lived on the other end of the country. Or both.

I want that girl, whomever and whatever she may be, here with me right now, so I can fall asleep with her in my arms, drifting off to the smell of her hair, and waking up next to her sleepy smile in the morning.

Tonight I just have my pillow and the smell of the ocean.

Goodnight, my love, wherever you are."

I just wanted to be clear about that. And I'm still smiling, too.
