E-mail between Jubilee and Manny

From:[Jubilee]
Subject: Your journal entry.
Manny,
Just caught your latest journal entry. Gotta say, here I was all this time thinking you wanted to be my friend and that we were actually developing that and now I learn I'm just a 'playmate'.
Fuck, can't believe this.
-Jubilee.
From: de la Rocha, Manuel
To: Lee, Jubilation
Relax.
In order to get some points through some people's heads, you need to use language they understand and can relate to.
You're not a playmate. You're a friend. A very attractive, very _American_ friend.
Does this make sense?

Okay, I can deal with that.
You wanted to talk to me about stuff? I saw you said you would in the entry. Would it help if I said I'm gonna do my best to avoid her from now on?
Obi e-mailed me after everything, said I should lay off and I was hurtin' you as well as her. :(
I promised I would...

Basically, I just want a little less blatant antagonism. Subtlety, my dear, is a wonderful thing. You can take whatever shots you feel the need to take - I'm certainly not going to stop you! But I wish you'd exercise some discretion.
That's all.
You up for another movie night this weekend? Just the two of us, a bottle of cider, some candlelight, and whatever you want to watch.

Subject: Subtlety
I could make the excuse that I'm American. ;) But I'll go for subtle next time if she does something against me. Promised Obi that I'd lay off, so I'm sticking to that. Will only react if she comes after me.
Definitely up for a movie night. I can show you some more action flicks. "Enter the Dragon" is a classic Bruce Lee one. If you're bringing Cider, I'll bring the cheese and crackers. :) You got any opinion on type of cheese?

From: Manuel
Something with some flavor, please. I detest squishy tasteless cheese.

Monet recently got in a shipment of gourmet food.
(She was going on last week about how she couldn't get any decent food in this backwards country. *Why is it I'm friends with people who all think America is backward and without style? I'd be offended if I didn't find you guys complaining so damn funny.* Of course, maybe it's just me that people think is without style. You'd think nobody liked colour. I'll ask her if I can borrow some of the cheese she got. Gotta talk to her about Mandarin class anyhow, so I'll ask then.

I like squishy tasteless cheese about as much as you like weak watered-down-to-nothing American Tea when you could have the flavorful Chinese stuff.
I suspect that I see colors differently than other people do, so that doesn't help. And I am a connoiseur of fashion, both for men and women. It's not that you wear colors - it's that the colors you wear clash horribly, and they're jarring to the eye. Sometimes, if that's the effect you want, that's good, but other times, it just makes you come across as Just Another Kid.

You know, I never thought of it that way before. Although, I tend to choose clothing by the way it makes me feel, and then for how it looks. Although, I got a lot of stuff from the time when Monet and I went shopping in France. (You've got her to thank for that bikini you like on me so much.)
Gotta go. Got to practice with my Violin.

That's fair enough. I'd be a raging hypocrite if I said that how I felt didn't change how I'd dress. And I do like that bikini. It does wonderful things for you. Enjoy the violin practice. I've always liked violin music.
