**Rasa:** I made a statement of honor while claiming no status of decency.

**nymysys:** In company such as this, I’d think a question of character to be flattering.

Nym! Just when we were all getting along again! I believe, coming from Tymp, that that was a high compliment. Or something. Please don’t go? ::hands Nym a scratchie/Nen sammich::

Considering that you asked me to handcuff you to the bed, I don’t think you’ll be leaving anytime soon.

Lordy, a scratchie/Nen sammich? Being handcuffed to the bed? You guys really know how to treat a girl. Now if I can only get Nen back in here to beg me a little, I’d definitely stay.

I thought that might get you to stay, Nym. Of course, Tymp offered avocado and swiss sammiches earlier… nto sure if he’s got any left so you may have to settle for the scratchie/Nen sammich…

**Nymph** , baby, I don’t beg, I seduce.

[Hi-Jackal]

**Rasa** , I was just thinking about you. I was channel surfing when something caught my eye. You know those “This day in history” (or something to that effect) mini-segments featured in Headline News? They were talking about the notorious terrorist Carlos the Jackal (if the name rings a bell, you probably heard him being mentioned in “Gotcha” or saw “The Assignment”). Well, turns out that his real name is Illitch **Ra** mírez **Sa** nchez. Any relation? 😃

Um, quasar. No, I am not the Jackal. Heard of him, but alas, I am too young, and too female… but thanks for thinking of me, I think!

Ok. It’s a new day. I declare today “Be Kind to Nen” day. Let’s kill him (um, figuratively, please) with kindness!

I’ll start by emailing him a get-well card, and some chicken soup. Plus some nice toasty whiskey n’ honey for his throat.

Sorry, Tymp… I might be eeeeeevil, but not to a poor, ill, in the middle of finals week guy like Nen. Well, at least not today. Am I still on the list?

No worries, **Rasa**. You’d have to work pretty hard to get your name pulled off the list.

I never said the list was a good thing, btw. It could be my list of assassination targets. You never know. 😉

Happy Be Kind To Nen Day, everyone! I’m going to go take a bath to celebrate.

What? You want me to be clean, don’t you? What? Why are you all laughing?

And btw, y’all wish me luck that my Jeep is in one piece. I could give a damn if the paint is damaged as long as it’s drivable. Keep your fingers crossed, please.

Hmm. Good point, **Tymp**. The context it was said in led me to believe the list was a Good Thing. Pardon me, I must go rethink my worldview.

Yay! Tymp and Nym are here! I have people to play with! Which is good, since the email gods are still frowning upon me. Either that or no one wants to return my emails.

Good luck vibes Nym! I hope your Jeep is ok.
