Weirdhow?

I’ve seen a lot of ads about those dating sites. I bet that might be why there are less, never really thought about it Iguess.

I lived in Shreveport until I was eighteen. You beenthere?

All of the actors you mentioned in movies… You also missedBruce.

There’s a movie about Cleopatra? I haven’t heard ofthatone.

The three games we have on repeat areHalo 3,Rock BandandBioshock.Call of DutyandGuitar Heroarerunnersup.

Here are the answers to yourquestions.

Chips, but not Fritos. Salt and vinegarmostly.

You said before winter sports—why? I like summer sports, I guess. We don’t have a lot of winter sports in Louisiana. I played ballinHS.

Dogs, but I got you on the mini pigs from the e-mail we’re pretending didn’t happen… they’re cute. My dad has a king shepherd back home. Lovethatdog.

Four siblings sounds… interesting. You allclose?

DearAaron,

About my other soldier pairing: weird likeweird.It was inappropriate and… weird. LOL. I’ll tell you if you really wanttoknow.

I can’t say I’ve ever been to Shreveport. I’ve been to NOLA once for Mardi Gras, and driven through Louisiana on vacation but only stopped for gas. Once in New Orleans was good enoughforme.

How could I miss Bruce? The number of times I’ve seenDie Hardis in the double digits. My mom calls him her boyfriend.Cleopatrais an old movie. It’s a classic from the 60s. The costumes were amazing. That’s why I’ve seen it so manytimes.

HaloandBioshockI get.Rock Bandthough?

What kind of ball did you play in high school? The only sport I ever watch is figure skating. I’m not into any other sports unless watchingFriday Night Lightscounts. (That’s aTVshow.)

I had to look up what a king shepherd was. I’ve only heard of German shepherds. What’s his/her name? As much as I love mini pigs, the only pet I have is a ferret namedSylvester.

My brothers, sisters and me all get along really well. I say this, but tomorrow I’ll complain about how one of them did something to make me mad. You’re probably familiar with that, and if you’re not, consider yourselflucky.

Do you want me to keep asking you random questions? Is there anything you’d want me to tell you about? Or talk about? I’m a good listener. Whateveryouwant.

Or do you want more jokes? Youtellme.

Hope you’redoingokay.

Bestwishes,
