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?

There are a lot of drawbacks when it comes to this weird thing.

But the woman thing was making it worse. Ain't you glad it's not that?

I dunno, maybe, but I still don't get your man thing...it's not like it makes any more sense knowing that you think I'm weird.

Would you stop making this a me thing when it's a you thing?

Stop giving me all the credit will you? It's definitely a you thing, in fact I'm giving you this one.

Don't I tell you when you just don't get me? So, I'm telling you this is a guy thing. You just don't get it 'cause yer weird. Blowing it off and putting it on me's just you being sensitive, like you said.

Yeah, yeah...it's a guy thing which means it's a you thing since that thing has nothing to do with me if I'm too weird to be apart of it...so it's all about you. And I'm not being sensitive...I just don't get that whole you thing which is the guy thing, that you share with other guys that know as much about the guy thing as you do.

...You're still touchy about the boring bedroom thing, aren't you? That's why you're doing this to me, isn't it? You go and ask a stupid question and don't get an answer in weird-ese so you can't understand it, so you're gonna weird at me until I just come out and speak not-guy speak at you. Is that your plan? Oi.

No, you already told me I wasn't boring...we're past that subject now...we're onto the man thing subject. You're making it sound like I'm torturing you.

...Is there anything you just don't do with guys? You oughtta at least get that you just don't hit girls, even if you pretend you don't get the hitting thing all together--which is a guy thing, but you actually get that one. Yer just weird about it.

Yes, go to the john. Never go to the john with a guy unless it's for a quickie. Anything else there are rules for. Like standing at the furthest urinal away from the other guys and not making eye contact and definitely not shaking hands. Same rules applies with girls...except girls congregate in the bathroom with other girls so they follow entirely different rules that are taboo in the world of male toilet etiquette. And naturally I don't hit girls if I don't hit anyone and I wouldn't hit a girl even if I did...and I respect my elders, that's why oma and opa get so much respect from me.

THAT'S IT! That kinda question is like following a guy in there after having sex with him, picking the closest urinal and giving your toilet-neighbor a smile and a wink before doing your business! It was a question kinda like that!

It's not the same! It was a simple question...not a wink and a nod over your business. Any normal person would have either been forward or they would have lied. Of course when it's you nothing is ever forward and you never lie so...it is a you thing.

You ask all your partners for a performance review?

Only the ones who use the term "bored" in reference to me.

Happens a lot, does it?

If it does, I'm never aware of it.

...You still don't get it, huh?

It's somethin' real important and personal to you, right?

You might be surprised to know that there aren't that many things in the world that I'm really particular about. It's always the important things like music and image. Being a pleasing bedmate is one of those things and it's even more personal. It's also not something a guy could bring up to a girl, but since you're a guy it's different.

M'not surprised at all. I know you pretty well, y'know... So, I know if you ask like you did, it's important to you, and personal. We won't worry about what you can and can't do with girls, since we're both guys here... kinda... but guy or girl, guys shouldn't talk about anything too personal AND important with someone they've fucked. Personal, like talkin' about body parts that're hot's usually okay. But not with guys, unless it's talkin' about someone else's hot personal parts. Important, like pick up lines with music, that's fine. Anything too important like actually thinkin' about music where it gets so important it's personal's out. And if it gets personal in the other kinda personal way, the not-body way, it's only sometimes okay with other guys, but only if it's not important. But it's completely off limits if you're ever even thinking you might wanna fuck someone some day.

So the moral of this story is...don't talk about anything that's personal with you. I think I've got it.

Well, this kinda game sometimes requires goin' personal, even though I've gone and fucked you, but it's a weird game like that. But in general, I mean... You can, I guess, but you didn't have anything to really gain there unless you just wanted to make me say something embarrassing...And you did, a little, so... You said you weren't trying to do anything like that, but you can lie, so... if that's your strategy, I guess you can talk about almost anything you want... since yer weird and all...

You can't say something like that after I've gone and learned my lesson from this experience.

If I don't, you'll think you really can't when you can! I can't dodge around about the rules of the game, we're already confused enough there as it is!

Then what was this whole talk about guy things for? To see if I'll lose my mind?
