Angie-
Here is the email that I promised you.
And...now that I'm sitting here writing it, I have no idea what to write. *looks sheepish* The mansion is kind of boring without everyone around. Especially you. I miss you a lot.
Hope your cousins weren't too annoying. Especially the one who wants to be a mutant. What's the plan when you meet up with everyone else? I heard something about Brighton, which is where Amanda's from, right?
Anyways, that's about all I can think to write for now. More later maybe.
Yours,
Doug

Merci. This came just when I needed to see it too. Or, else I checked my email at just the right time. I am not sure.
My cousins were not too annoying, actually. Jean-Phillipe - that is the one who wants to be a mutant had the good sense to rescue me from my mother's insistance that I go to church before I go back. I do not think he is though, since he is already fourteen. He and I actaully had a good conversation, once I told him to stop being a git about my cards.
I am definitly spending too much time around Amanda, if I am using 'git' frequently, but he likes swearwords that are not French. I promised him a list, since he is going to send me some more cards.
He is a silly boy who wears eyeliner, and listens to too much bad music, but once he stopped trying to be odder than I am on purpose, we had a good conversation. He plays a game like the D&D one you and Jamie like so much, but with werewolves and vampires and ghosts.
I meet up with everyone tommorow evening when my parents drop me off, and yes, we are going to Brighton, and I think that is where Amanda is from, or else, she lived there for a while. I think we are going to a club, and I am not sure what else. I am a little nervous about my parents meeting people, but .. not a lot. My parents are being very tolerant, and I had pictures so they are not going to be too surprised about anyone.
I also finally told them about you. Well, I told them I had a date next week, because it distracted my mother.

I'm glad this came at a good time to improve your mood.
Okay, maybe I can give Jean-Phillipe the benefit of the doubt. He still sounds amazingly pretentious, though. But he can't be too bad if he plays White Wolf games. Just as long as he still is aware of the difference between the gaming world and real life. Not like the freaky people who actually try to _be_ vampires because it's all goth and trendy.
Clubbing sounds like fun. I'm jealous. Of course, my only other clubbing experience didn't turn out quite that well, so maybe I'm better off. *wry*
I'm glad that your parents are being tolerant and everything.
I...ohboy. What did they say? *nervous*

He is a little pretentious, and he is 'all goth and trendy', as you say. He does not want to be a vampire though. I am terribly tempted to tell him I know a werewolf. Though it would mean explaining the mutant power, and I am not sure how much my parents have told the rest of my relatives.
We will go clubbing again sometime, and it will be a better experience than the last time. None of Remy's stupid name jokes.
My father asked if you were one of the people I had pictures of, (I do. Photos and a few drawings.) and asked about your mutant power. My mother wanted to know if you were Catholic. She has an obsession right now, and it is really, really driving me quite mad. She will stop eventually though.

Yeah, that would be funny to see the look on his face. But you're right about the explanations. Probably best not to.
I...would like that a lot. There was a lot of badness that happened that night. At the club...and after. :-(
What'd you tell your father about my power? What'd he say? I'm curious. :)
And as for the whole religion thing...my dad is Catholic, and my mom is Presbyterian. So I was kinda raised in both churches. Remind me to tell you the story of the monsignor at my dad's church when they were going through pre-Cana counseling. :)
Miss you.

I hope, perhaps someday. If anyone in my family would be understanding...
What happened at the club? If it is not too pushy to ask, that is.
I tried to explain your power to my father. He.. seemed amused, I think. He said that boys who speak languages are always attractive to girls, and that when he was sixteen, the girls all dated the boys who could speak English and Italian and Spanish. I did not explain the body language part, but he asked about the computers part. He said something about enigmas, which I looked up, and do not understand. He said you would though.
I am not telling my mother you are Catholic. Mostly because I am not telling my mother anything involving religion right now. If I avoid the subject, she will stop telling me that I have a gift from God.
I miss you too.

Yeah, it's nice to have people to talk to, and be honest about everything. I'm lucky to have a few of those right here in the mansion.
The club...Amanda got me drunk and teased me pretty mercilessly. Remy tried to give me some sort of advice on women. I rescued Amanda from a bunch of drunken fratboys, and got a tongue-lashing for it. But...it wasn't so much the club as what happened after. But I don't know if I should tell you, because I don't want you feeling bad about it.
Tell your father that speaking every language under the sun hasn't gotten me anywhere up until you asked me on a date.
And yeah, that line about enigmas could be really loaded. Hm. That's an interesting thought.
And that's fine. I'm sure your mother will calm down about things soon.
*yawn* I think I should probably head to bed. All those all-nighters staying up talking to you have kinda whacked my sleep cycle. Not that I'm complaining when it means I get to talk to you. :)
Miss you.
Love,
Doug

I am not sure I can possibly feel any worse about what happened, espically if I am guessing correctly what you mean.
Now, I just mostly want it to be over. Though a very small part of me is taking some kind of joy in Manuel being miserable. Which I suppose is at the least a little bit wrong.
Can you speak all of them? Or just the ones you have heard?
I .. do not understand the enigma thing. Why would puzzles have to do with computers?
My sleep cycles are so abnormal that I think I stopped trying to make them normal anymore.
Miss you a lot.
