Hope everyone had a happy holiday. I was pleasantly surprised by my oma and opa this year. They flew all the way out to L.A. to see me...and bless them, they didn't bring my parents.

I didn't get back to the office until late this afternoon so it was a nice treat to find presents for me there too.

Henry, the book you put together is amazing, I'm sure it took you a while to find all of those compositions and put them all together like this.

That mirror you gave me, Herr Greed, is absurd...I love it. I spent an entire afternoon putting things in front of it...and I've found a very practical use for it.

Herr Justice, I'm not sure who Sheryl Nome is, but the CD was superb and so were the plecks! As for the finger painting...I wonder who gave you that bit of inspiration. It's going on my wall in the office!

Daryan I had a nice chat, sorry I couldn't stay a little longer, but visiting time was limited. Hope you enjoyed the gifts.

Danke Schön!

On a more serious note...is it un-neighborly to want to put up a hedge between your home and your new neighbor's home? I say this because I have these new neighbors...moved in not too long ago and they have a very interesting lifestyle. They're nice people and all but... I did get some very unhelpful advice when I went to the office. An associate of mine told me to write an anonymous letter...a brilliant idea in theory until you get down to the writing:

Dear Neighbors,

Not that I don't enjoy the view, but your bedroom window looks right into my bedroom window. I would be much obliged if you'd invest in some curtains.

Signed,

You can see the gaping holes in this can't you? And it's like watching a train wreck, you don't really want to, but when it's there for all the world to see it it's just kind of hard to look away. Then you want to go burn your corneas out with some liquid plumber. You see the dilemma?

Well I guess that's true.

Eh? But you can't not enjoy something if you've never tried it which is why you're better off not having a full time lover.

So yer not worried about it anymore?

I'm so against it I couldn't enjoy it if I tried, so it is somethin' I can not enjoy even without trying.

Hn...nope. Unless you've got something else on your mind.

Okay, okay I'll stop heckling you.

Not really. But if you of all people tries to ask guy-to-guy, I thought I'd make sure it's all clear. Even if it's not a guy-to-guy kinda topic.

Guy-to-guy topic? What does that even mean? You're a guy, I'm a guy...that makes it a guy-to-guy topic...

It's a guy thing, you wouldn't get it.

In case you haven't noticed, I am a guy.

Sure. It'd be pretty hard to miss unless you were tryin' to look like a girl again.

It's not like I'm a transvestite, I'm just comfortable enough with myself as a man. It's good that I'm that convincing, but don't be mistaken, Herr.

M'not mistaken. I know you got all the normal guy parts.

Good, so what's with the whole "it's a guy thing."

It's a guy thing.

You. Wouldn't get. It.

You. Hot Shot; Pretty Boy; the love of your life. Wouldn't get. Can't make sense outtah; can't follow; can't comprehend. It. The guy thing.

M'not sure how much clearer I can make this...

...

......

.........

I see...this is a Greed thing. Makes perfect sense now.

You're a guy, but yer also weird. Normal and extraordinary and lame and all kidnsa other guys can get it, but you're weird. That's more not-normal than all the other kindsa guys out there who might just have one or two more things wrong with 'em than normal. You're too weird to get it. The only thing "guy" about you is the guy parts, so you can't get guy things. It's like expecting someone born with German blood to be able to speak Germak even if they're from... some.... not German. Place.

I think you're confusing gender with how people are different. I'm a guy, physically. I have guy needs. I'm pretty sure I have guy thoughts but seeing as I can't read thoughts that's a moot point. So what about me isn't like a "guy?" The fact that I'd let myself be taken, or that I'm not aggressive, or that I'm vain?

No, definitely no--yer real aggressive sometimes--and no.

Look. You're tryin' to treat a guy thing like anything any two people with a three piece set can get, which just shows how much you don't get it. There ain't a whole lotta things related to that set besides itself, so that's not the deal breaker here. The fact that you don't get that is why you don't get the idea of what a guy thing is AND why you don't get this specific guy thing.

Get it?

So just because you're a guy doesn't mean you can get the guy thing...I don't get what you think the guy thing is...but you'd figure that a prerequisite would be...being a guy?

And since I don't get it I say we take a vote.

Some women can get some guy things, too, but... Man. How can a smart guy like you be so far off the mark... You're so weird I can't even call it normal just by trying to call you weird normally.

Alright. Fine. It's a guy thing, but I'll still try and explain it to you, before you start tryin' to fight over whether "guy things" even exist, then trying to get a vote like that's gonna make you understand anything, when you're the one that tried to ask for a damned favor guy to guy...

There's things you do and say and talk about with guys that you wouldn't with a chick, right? And there's things you do and say and talk about with girls that you don't with the boys, right? And there's things you do and say with people you don't fuck that you definitely don't do with people you do. And then with people you do do it with, you do it with them, but not with the people you don't. Real simple: it's one of those things.

So we fucked and therefore I'm incapable of understanding the guy thing.

... I don't think that's it.

What do you mean you don't think that's it...this is your guy thing?

I don't know why you don't get it, that's a you thing. A guy thing's a guy thing that I don't get to determine.

You're right...there's no way I could take this to a vote...it's too...asinine.

And it's not something guys talk about, so all real guys would just smack their heads and silently agree without speaking up. On top of that, this specific thing's a slept-with-person thing... because it's about sex, but that's exactly why it's wrong! Anyone with half a lick of sense'd just call you a sick freak for even thinkin' it's something you can just take a vote on! I know better, I know yer just weird, but, for your image's sake...

Gaaah, if it's for your image I've really gotta try again... There're things guys only talk about with guys, and with girls, and with girls they sleep with, and with guys they sleep with, right? Girls have things they only talk to girls about, and stuff like that, but I don't know about all that that much. Yer "guy to guy talk" topic's more like.... Like a girl you slept with tryin' to talk to you about somethin' girls should only talk about with girls... but since it's about sex, it'd have to be about girls they fucked, but some girls try to cross that line in the bedroom 'cause they're weird girls. But we're both guys. Who fucked. So that's even weirder when you do it.

I think we should just leave it at that, now you're giving me the impression that you think of me in terms of a woman. It's just making it worse.
