E-mail to Kitty

To: {QT}
From: {4U}
Subject: those wacky people in Chicago with the excellent genes

Meant to ask last week, but the rate things happen around here . . .

How'd that talk with your parents go? They sprung for the skywriting to let everybody in Illinois know about their genius daugher yet?

Subject: They may have good genes but they're nuts

I'll tell you more about it after class, but the highlight is she didn't say "Come back to Chicago and go to school here" very often, and the lowlight is she did say "you should find a nice Jewish boy and settle down".

-sighs-

She's wacko, Jamie, completely wacko.

From: {nefarious gentile}
Subject: Whahuh?

What, she thinks I'm your wild oats?

. . . Heh. I'm a wild oat. That could be kinda hot, actually.

Y'know, I think I go to temple with you more often than I go to the actual church I'm, y'know, technically supposed to. God doesn't seem to mind.

Do you think it would help if I e-mailed her, or called, or something, and explained about how I intend to stick around as long as is humanly possible, and how we've thought about the religion thing and we respect each other's beliefs and it isn't a problem for us, and, um . . . honorable intentions, and like that? Or would that just mess things up more?

To: [favorite goy]
From: [yeah, I'm purehearted. Right...]
Subject: that was pretty much my first reaction, too

Hey, I think you're hot even though I don't think your a wild oat. Hmph.

Honestly, I've no idea what she'd think if you did that. Truth is, she mentioned it and I told her we weren't gonna have that conversation and hung up. Which, I admit, was probably not the best of all possibly options, but I was sleepy.

Why not? Go ahead and give it a shot.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

To: {well, okay, but a very cute heartbeat anyway}
From: {oatboy}
Subject: At least she didn't have a list of names?

All I'm saying is, if you want me to be your wild oat some night you just have to ask. ;)

I think I will, once I figure out what I want to say exactly. Will keep you posted.

To: [oatboy has to be the best email nick you have ever come up with]
From: [although I think this makes me into an equine or some other oat-eating animal...]
Subject: No, she was convinced that going to school in New York I would have pleanty of options. Which is not inaccurate, just unncessary.

And what, pray tell, would being my wild oat entail, if I may ask? Cause now I'm curious.

Am on tinderhooks. Or at least very curious to see what it will turn into.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

To: {Then I'd be an oat-eater-eater}
From: {which could get recursive really quickly}
Subject: Just as long as the boys in question figure this out. We may have to be mushy so they get the idea.

I think it would involve a lot of using me for your own enjoyment and possibly kicking me out of bed in the morning.

Will try to think quickly, then. Erm--I just realized, I don't actually know your mom's e-mail address.

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

To: [You're your own recursive function]
From: [Loves you more than Linux]
Subject: I never turn down a reason to be mushy

But that would be silly. You're far more comfortable than my pillow, and I'm usually the one who has to run to get to all my classes on time.

Take whatever time you need. It'd probably be bad to send something off spur of the moment. Or not. -shrug-

Mom's email is: prydeful_s at hotmail.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

To: {sexy geek}
From: {10: Love you. 20: Goto 10}
Subject: Sounds like a plan then.

Well, I think that part is optional anyway. We can probably dispense with it. ;)

I just want to make a good impression, is all. I mean, they're gonna have to get used to me sooner or later, and the sooner the better.

Hey, you haven't mentioned what your dad thinks about all this. Everything okay there?

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

To: [abuses programing languages]
From: [the geekiest]
Subject: Excellent. Plans are good.

Ah, well, as long as we can skip that bit.

And I've no idea what my dad thinks. Haven't heard from him and he's never home when I call.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

To: {also the sexiest}
From: {has Pascal tied up in the closet}
Subject: Especially when they're just excuses to do what we'd do anyway.

We can definitely skip that bit. And I'll try very hard to remember not to make you late for class. :)

And he hasn't called you back at all? That's . . . kinda odd. Do you know anybody else back in Chicago that could actually go to his place and check on him, make sure he's OK?

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

To: [Your duping utterly fails to follow the triangle]
From: [Glad you think so]
Subject: Very true

-grin- 'preciate that.

Er... Well, mom said she'd tell him about NYU and I assume she'd tell me if there were something going on, but... That's a point.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

To: {Well, I've got eyes, don't I?}
From: {irregular polygon}
Subject: Movie this weekend? Speaking of things we do.

No promises if I get distracted, though. :)

I'm just thinking here, if he's not returning your mom's calls either, it might be a good idea to have somebody else on deck too.

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

To: [Septagon!]
From: [Yes, and very nice eyes they are, too]
Subject: Oooh, sounds good. Sin City's supposed to be good, I hear...

I'm sure my GPA can handle a few 'distractions'.

Well, and given the parental track record as far as keeping me abrest of problem goes, I think you have a point. I'll try emailing one of his coworkers.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

To: {That's nine sides, right?}
From: {four-eyes, at the moment}
Subject: I've heard that too. Let's go for it. :)

With your GPA we can be distracted for a very long time indeed. And to think there are people in the world who don't like smart girls. :)

Hope everything's okay.

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

To: [seven, silly]
From: [So, if you wore glasses it would be eight?]
Subject: It's a date.

Many, yes, but then from what I hear there are people in the world who don't like clean-cut farm boys, either, and they're clearly nuts.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

To: {Well, September's the ninth month.}
From: {Yes, but that would just be confusing.}
Subject: Date! Woohoo!

As long as you like them who cares about anybody else?

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

To: [September comes, I believe, from the old Roman Septimus. Cause seriosly, most of the months are from old Romans]
From: [And you would never do anything that would be confusing...]
Subject: You know what we haven't done in a while? Kidnap-dates. We should start doing thoes again.

A very good point. And is it odd that there's more text in the header to our emails now than in the body?

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

To: {Ah, well, and you hear things about those old Romans. No wonder.}
From: {as clear and straightforward as a glass train full of yardsticks}
Subject: We should! Whose turn is it? Yours, I think.

You're asking me for an opinion on whether or not something is odd?

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

To: [-snerk-]
From: [now there's an image. Where do you come up with these things?]
Subject: Probably. Shall now have to stop thinking about homework and think about being sneaky. Hmm...

Yes, I am. I figured you'd be the most knowledgable on the matter... :p

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

To: {Well, you do!}
From: {Talent and practice.}
Subject: Have I said lately how good sneaky looks on you?

Weeellll, yes, in general, but that also means my oddness threshold is a lot further out than most people's. Even most people who live here.

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

To: [Am not arguing, as you're absolutely right, am just amused]
From: [Ah, now I see...]
Subject: nope

A very good point. I withdraw my question. It was a silly question anyway.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

To: {Well, that was the whole point, so yay.}
From: {When I'm really bored I come up with weird metaphors to kill time.}
Subject: Sneaky is almost as good as translucent black lacy underwear.

Not that silly. And anyway, silly is good. The answer is, yes, it's a little odd. But so are we. :)

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

To: [makes his points]
From: [can think of better ways to keep you from getting bored]
Subject: What if I'm being sneaky in translucent black lacy underwear or about translucent black lacy underwear?

Yes, yes we are.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

To: {cute when amused}
From: {very interested in these other ways of which you speak}
Subject: . . . I think I need to take a moment here.

Just further proof of my "odd is good" theory. :)

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

To: [having a moment]
From: [curious if your roommate is about]
Subject: I shall have to take this reaction into consideration

It's a solid proof and I can not find any holes in it. I approve of your logic.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

To: {inspirer of moments}
From: {all alone in the room}
Subject: Please do. I'm not above begging.

Yay logic!

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

To: [not for long]
From: [a right muse I am]
Subject: I think I knew that about you.

Mmm, logic.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

To: {ooh?}
From: {anticipatory}
Subject: Well, I'd hope so.

Logic is--ooh, hello, Kitty in my lap. Much better things to do with my hands than type.
