Loser,

Yep, that'd be me. I suck. I feel so loser-ish. Oh well, the bot

teacher is talking about soil and ecology and such now, and I know that

stuff pretty well, inside and out. As for your tasteless joke, I've heard

it before. Pretty damn tasteless. If I was a self-righteous Christian, I'd

condemn you to rot in hell. But, since I'm an irreligious Taoist, kinda

sorta Pagan, kinda dude guy, I'll chuckle instead. Heheheheh. Well, off to

magazine class. I can hardly wait to talk about freaking women's magazines

some more. Oh joy. Can you feel the excitement in my voice. Oh boy. See

you after class, or in case you read this after you've seen me, then in

that case, see you after I get off work.

Your very own, very handsome Scotsman

This is something new. Mail from ME! Yeah, we don't mail each

other much anymore, but then on the other hand, we see each other every

day, sometimes twice in a whole day! Whoo-hoo! Cool huh?! Yeah, well I've

decided that all this whiny crap about getting a good nights sleep is a

buncha crappola and I'd rather have you come over and sacrifice an hour or

so of extra sleep, because hey, you're worth it right? You better be. I'm

right, I know it. I'm cool. I'm always right, and when I'm wrong (yes I

can be wrong), I'm cool about it. Yeah, I'm cool. Well, anyway I'll call

ya tonight and pick you up and we can study and so on. Of course we will

have to study and that doesn't include each other's errogenous zones. We

can study those Fri. Sat. and Sun. nights. Well anyways. Talk to you's

tonight.

p.s. on a more serious note, I do love you, very much.

June 2000

Hey, I figured you'd try to call me from your work today, but I guess you weren't working. I've got Thurs. and Sun. off this week so you can call me for sure on those days, but remember from now until July 21 I'm going to be out of the house from 7:30 am to about 4:30 or 5:00. I'm going to make sure that Dick Weed Leprechaun-boy doesn't schedule me to work before 7:00 ( I need to call out there and make sure, since next weeks schedule wasn't up yet). So, provided they schedule me correctly I should be around to receive calls between about 5:30 to 6:30. I suppose you'll just try to call me while you're at work, but I'll really rather you just call me from your house, but I guess you're going to do whatever when it comes to dealing with your bitchy mom. Also, I've got my B-day coming up on the 24th (in case you'd forgotten), and I really want to be able to see you that day. Talking to my dad yesterday he said he was wondering when the two of us would get down there to see them and I told him not likely with your parent's attitudes. But he still wanted me to ask you to maybe just try it and see. I guess they really want to see us, especially since we're going to both be gone out of state before too long. Well, lemme know about that. I'll let you know my next weeks sched. when I get it. I hope I get to talk to you some time this week. Oh yeah, and the first day of orientation was interesting. Looks like summer camp is going to be fun, but rather hot. I went and walked some of the trails after getting out of orientation and saw a juvenile skink (they have brilliant electric-blue tails), a female anole (brownish color), and a gray treefrog. Also we all saw a blue heron up at the park. Well, that's it for now. Gotta go. Hope you call me this week. I'll really miss you, especially after finishing reading Finn Mac Cool. It's really good. Go check it out - also it has a good love story in it too. It made me get all choked up on the last page. I'm gonna go and get another Morgan Llewelyn book and maybe a Mary Stewart. I seem to be getting into this historical fiction/fantasy stuff. You've corrupted me! Take care of yourself. I love you, Matt P.S. I stare at your pictures every night before I go to bed and I always think about you as I drift off to sleep.

June 25, 2000

Hey,

I got back in without incident. I'm tired, so I'm going to go look

longingly at my pictures of you and kiss them and then go to sleep

wishing you were next to me (*sigh*). I miss you so much. Take care of

yourself and stay out of trouble.

I love you,

Matt

P.S. Can't wait to hear your voice again (*sigh*).

August 2000

Hey, Here's the pic of me as a little kiddie. Are you trying to plan something for Sunday, or do we need to plan for something next week, or what? I've gotten a couple chapters into Outlander and I find it pretty engaging so far. I'm up to where she takes over as the healer at that castle (the MacKenzie's castle I think). Well, I'm gonna go watch a movie and then do some reading. I'll see if I can find that book at the Athens library. Call me soon. Miss you, love you Matt

August 15, 2000

Hey Lovely, I got back in just fine. Actually got back in at about 2:45, so it didn't take much time at all to get back. I'm in sort of a funk now. I really missed you immediately (like I always do after we part). I was thinking about how earlier we were talking about being married and just living life for a while. It seems like we're both so ready to do that right now, but it's as if we've got this relationship but we don't. I know that doesn't make much sense, but it just feels like we're on this lengthy hiatus. I've been reading these books you've read, and they've all got some romantic plot in them and lately it's had me thinking about all the little stuff that is missing. Sure we get to see each other every now and then, but we don't get to watch movies together. I miss having you curled up next to me watching some movie. I want so badly to just be able to hold you for a long time and run my fingers through your hair, or to talk about historical stuff, whatever. You know, just LIVE together. I just feel really bummed because this isn't the way it should've been. We should already be married and we should be going to Chicago together. Oh well, that's a whole different story. As I do every night, I'll look at my pictures of you and touch a kiss to them before I go to bed thinking about how much I miss having you there with me. I hope we can see each other again soon. I miss you so much! I love you, Matt P.S. I am off Sun. 27th and the following week I'm off Thurs. and Fri.

... check out the info on this page of the Clan Campbell website. Some interesting reading. It's www.ccsna.org/jsep60b.htm I checked out the Stone Mtn. Games page and it doesn't look like they're having a Tattoo this year either. I emailed them to ask if this is the case or not. However, something of interest might be the piping competition on Friday. They also have a Highland Evening, or some such thing on Saturday night. I figured if we went to both Sat. and Sun. at the games (which I'd like to do, if they don't have a Tattoo), as well as the Highland Evening and maybe the piping competition, it'd cost us about $50 each, plus $ for memorabilia and such. But, if there's no Tattoo, that means you could come down early Friday, or you could still come down late Thursday. We'll have to see. Just thought I'd mail you those specs. I think I might go out tomorrow (if the weather holds kind of balmy as it was today), and take some photos of myself in Highland regalia. Then again, if it's only in the mid to low 80's that still might be a bit warm. I'll let ya know. Love, Matt

Hey there M' Feisty Wee Bitch! ( A paraphrase of a line from Outlander in case you didna remember) Well, of course I've gotten to the part where they get married and so they're all romantic and such, and of course the steamy scenes bring back memories and spark new fantasies. Of course now I'm all bent out of shape because I miss you even more, and was wishing I'd kissed you a lot more the other day and how much I'd like to hold you or spoon up next to you. I'm just really bummed because now I'm in this terribly romantic mood and you're there and I'm here and I want nothing more than to have you around. I feel like I always miss you most when you're not around (though even when you are around I think about you all the time and even miss you when I don't get to see you during the day). I guess like Jamie was asking if the feeling ever goes away ( I don't know if he was talking about wanting to "get it" or the passion of loving), but anyway I was thinking that it hasn't gone away for me. I just hate that I always realize when you're not with me that I should've taken more advantage of the opportunities to kiss you or rub your shoulders, or to put my hands on your waist and hold you close... *sigh* (big, deep, poignant sigh). Well, I'm guessing you're probably close to crying now, so I better wrap this up. I resolve, once we're reunited, to take advantage of every opportunity to enjoy your company, be it a kiss, a hug, holding your hand, back rubs, all that stuff. It's a cliche for sure, but you never really know what you've got until it's gone. Man, I miss you so much! I can hardly bear the thought of what the next few months are going to be like... *sigh* Take care, I miss you more than my words can say... I love you, Matt
