Dear Santa,

[Jand3rson]

Josh, don't let Tyler log on, alright? I don't like that side of you. get some sleep. and where are you getting those bruises and cuts from?

Yes, these are bruises from fighting. Yes, I'm comfortable with that. I am enlightened.

You are not your meaningless, random hookups.

You are not your long distance relationship.

You are the all singing, all dancing, crap of the world.

I want a Red Ryder carbine action 200 shot range model air rifle.

I regret having a girlfriend all last year at college. I missed out on a lot of good opportunities.

And by "opportunities", he means ass.

1. A Christmas Story kicks ass.
2. Please don't speak for me. Getting ass isn't what I was talking about. I spent a lot of weekends driving 4 hours away to visit my girlfriend. I missed out on doing a lot of things with my friends back at school. Also, the countless hours on the phone with the girlfriend kept me in many nights. All of that time could have been spent going out and meeting people and just having fun with my friends. Ass or not, I missed out on a lot of opportunities at college because of my long distance relationship.

1. A Christmas Story does INDEED kick ass. It just doesn't feel like Christmas until I've watched that movie.
2. Calm down, I wasn't speaking for you. I was making a joke. I just forgot to add my [sarcasm] brackets. :D

[Jarvis]

We were probably dumb to try to make it work. But I think it's noble our effort. It was just too much stress in the end, and it wasn't worth the work. It was making us unhappy instead.

When you can't even have fun hanging out with the girl anymore, it's time to call it quits. And it wasn't dumb trying to make it work. It all just goes toward experience. Learn from the past, and use it to your advantage in the future. Experiences, good or bad, are still experiences that can teach you something.

No harm done. I'm calm. I got to explain what I meant in more detail. But I did miss out on a lot of ass... :(
Actually, a became really good friends with a girl from Texas I met last year. One of the best friends I've ever made. If I had been single, we would have starting bangin' and now we wouldn't still be such good friends. NOT getting ass has benefits on rare occasion.

[Jand3rson]

See, I knew ass was in there somewhere. :D

There's a whole lot more to college than ass. It's more than just class. Whole lot more to learning than just books It's also more than just parties and drinking to it too. There's a whole lot more to life than fame, money, status, or sex. Still, there's a whole lot more to any of us than we probably know about each other. Although those in college may see some things, there is some we cannot see, and we miss out on. It's all about doing the best we can, and moving on from there. And if we fail, learn from out mistakes and grow. That's all we can do.

And I never regretted being in a long distance relationship. Missing out on bonding with my roommates, or parties, or hooking up never mattered as much as she did. And now with what I see as the real truth......i don't think that'll change.

Thanks Jarvis. Though you may be a random screenname on here, I appreciate your advice.
And let's stop talking about this mushy stuff before Barbara Walters invites us onto "The View"

*drags thread back OT*

my gf hasn't asked what i want yet, so just to make sure i got it i ordered my THR control arm ends yesterday 8) (no comments on quality yet, obviously, but their customer service gets an A.)

if she does, i'm gonna point her at ireland's site and tell her "urethane engine & tranny mounts".

hoping to scrape $200 out of dec 15th's check to snag her an ipod(/mini?) with. (i'm entirely guessing on the price there, if someone knows of a better source than froogle can find me i'd love to hear about it.)
