But for some reason, while typing an email today, I was typing a list of things to a friend of mine and had nothing to say in number three, so so I put “Hi, Opal!” instead. Then, realizing that my friend would have no idea who Opal is, I changed it to “There is no number three, I just hate lists with only two things on them”.

I think I’m reading this board too much.

That’s very funny, because:

1. I found myself doing that myself a few days ago, in an email to a friend
2. I left it in there, just to see what the reaction was!

Hmm… I think I should have said “myself” once more there, just to be sure.

Ack. That’ll teach me to post without reading every single thread. What the hell is wrong with me? 😉
