It's fun when people play along...
The following is a verbatim conversation with my friend Craig, who is starting a new job soon, so has some time off, and I tried to tap to potentially fill Greg's spot on our trip to Cancun (long story....but in short, the strike being over might screw him now).
It's worth noting that Craig was my frosh buddy when I was in third year (he's an '05 Mech), and I introduced him to Queen's somewhat forcefully at the Buddy Smoker... then, when the Buddy Boatcruise fell on a weekend when I was away with Bands, I left him in Jon's care...... he ended up hiding from him in the bathroom.... True story. But, we only knew that Craig had somehow disappeared from the boat until this year at Homecoming, when we met up at Ritual and he spilled the real story...
Iain: When do you start work?
Craig: i thought it was gonna be the 3rd but they pushed it back to the 10th... here we go again
Iain: you want a fun way to kill a week?
Craig: sure
Iain: you wanna come to Cancun?
Craig says: lol
Iain: seriously....
Craig: now i didn't see that coming
Iain: my roommate likely can't make it b/c end of strike = exams next week....
Craig: oh shitty. as interesting as it sounds, i don't think i'll be able to go
Iain: ah...poo....
Craig: i owe too much money to go on a trip and i want my new car so i gotta save up all the money i make... when i eventually start
Iain: haha....right......you and your "priorities"
Craig: :)
Iain: anyway....if you think of anyone, let me know....we've booked it, so we're going for sure....
Craig: ok. how many people are going?
Iain: 3 right now....but we've booked 4... did I mention one of the others is Jon?
Craig: so you're planning on a nice conservative week
Iain: tea and crumpets
Craig: nice
Iain: maybe jam if we're feeling adventurous
Craig: wow, count me out... that's just way too much
Iain: would marmalade have been more your speed?
Craig: yeah that'd probably be ok
Iain: then we'll tone down our condiments just for you...... don't want to get all outta control with the spreadable products...
Craig: sweet
Okay, so it's not that funny...but I went to the trouble of copying and pasting it, so fuck it....

Dear Gomme,
I heart your blog. Now I have something else to distract me from refreshing my email and staring at walls at work. I was also happy to read that someone else hasn't won a single fucking thing in roll up the rim, and that TimHo's isn't necessarily on a personal mission to destroy my life.
Finally, I am impressed by your use of pictures in your blog. I would like to snaz up my own blog, but am not s-m-r-t enough. How do you do it?
Much sexy love,
ThePeach
