Dear Tube Socks

Dear Tube Socks,

It’s me again. I hope you had a good year. Free of athletes’ feet and toe jams. Lemme cut to the chase. On Decemberween morning, when I open you guys up, you’re going to hear…things. Hurtful things. Unforgivable things. Things like, Uhhh… and Oh, man! and This present of tube socks totally sucks and I hate it! Don’t you believe a word of it, Tube Socks.

I love you guys. I don’t know what I’d do without my yearly pair. But a guy’s gotta keep up appearances, right? If peoples found out I have a soft spot for tube socks, it’d be all over. It took me years to live down that Martina Navratilova poster…and I will not go down that road again.

We can be secret friends. Like that hunchback kid at school. In closing, please disregard any and all negative comments or negative burning you may hear or experience on Decemberween.

Stealthily Yours,

Strong Bad

Oh internet, I've missed you.

I have internet!

Much thanks to my brother, Nona the Ninja, for hacking me into someone else's signal.

Now I won't be bored on my day off.

Simon…

Tonight after watching a Lost marathon(season 1) with my mom and Bethany, I came home to my cat, Simon meowing at my door. He was hungry, and even though I've fed him a couple times today, I decided I'd feed him one more time before I went to bed. After he was done eating, he begin rubbing up against my leg and purring. So I picked him up and just held and petted him, just like I always do. And then it hit me. This is going to be the last night I ever do this with him.

And so I just continued to hold and pet him, now crying in my computer chair until he got bored and squirmed out of my arms.

I wonder if he knew I was giving him back to the shelter tomorrow if he would have squirmed away so fast.

People, I am sad. Had I known I would be getting rid of him so quickly I never would have gotten him. He didn't even make it to his first Christmas with me. *sigh*

Simon, you were my first room mate in my new apartment, and you kept me sane when I felt like I was going crazy. I hope you find yourself an awesome home with some kickbut owners.
