RubyMars:Heyyourself.
AHall80:How wasyourbday?
RubyMars:Great. Everyone came over and we went out to eat. The restaurant brought me out a slice of cake and sang happy birthday while I stared at each of my family members, cursing them out in my head for doing thattome.
AHall80:They do that to youeveryyear?
RubyMars:No. They know I hate it, so they switch it up. I never know when they’ll do it and when they won’t, because if they always did, I’d stop going out to dinner onthatday.
AHall80:PoorRuby
RubyMars:Poorme. :)
RubyMars:It was agoodday.
AHall80:Did you get anypresents?
RubyMars:Yes. :) Let’s see, my mom and #4 got me clothes and a season 1 DVD ofBuffy the Vampire Slayerwith the cover signed. My dad sent me a gift certificate for an airline to buy a flight out to visit him. My oldest brother, Seb, gave me $50. Jonathan gave me $50 too and a gift card for makeup. His boyfriend gave me a really pretty scarf that I’m scared to wear because I’m pretty sure it cost two hundred dollars. Tali, my older sister, gave me $50 and a gift card to this fabric store, and my little sister gave me some really neat custom business cards. And my friends just gave me random things like bags of Fritos, some DVDs and gift cards. It wasgreat.

AHall80:Same old shit every day. :] The days feel even longer knowing I’mleavingsoon.
AHall80:Is kickboxing a monthlymembership?
RubyMars:Ibet.
RubyMars:No. It was cheaper to buy a year pass for X amount ofclasses.
AHall80:You don’t care if I give some of the soldiers staying here the books you sent me? Not all of them,justsome.
RubyMars:Of course not. They were a gift… and they were all used copies. Do whateveryouwant.
AHall80:That’s what I thought, just wanted to check. I need something to read on the flight back in case I don’t fallasleep.
RubyMars:I bet you’ll be asleep in the first twentyminutes.
AHall80:Not betting againstyoulol
RubyMars:Are you dead set on having pizza first thing you can when yougetback?
AHall80:Pizza andabeer.
AHall80:Arealbeer.
RubyMars:I forgot they don’t have real beer over there… and you did mention having a beerbefore.
AHall80:Yeah. They have the nonalcoholic stuff, but no. Some guys get it when they’re desperate, but I’d rather not waste my money. That and cigarettes are what everybody starts missing the mostoverhere.
