So, the not-often-discussed Will writes:

Now, on to business: I am almost done with school. In like 3 weeks, I'll have my master's degree and I'll make rude gestures toward Texas out the back window of my car as I speed off to civilization. The funny thing is that I was just beginning to get comfortable here. Oh well.

Boo. I finish school even sooner, but I don't leave Texas until September. Nevertheless, London awaits! I'm most looking forward to arriving on foreign shores to meet and greet the UK sinister kids. So, I don't think girls are scary. But I do think boys are a little scary. Case in point: my birthday was last week. I've been seeing a boy on an extremely casual level, and he was rather rude at my birthday party (e.g., drinking a little more than he could handle, acting relatively silly in all respects, etc.). I saw him yesterday for the first time since the party, and he's all grinning and proud of himself, and he's like, "I got you something!" I, of course, assume that he's off and bought me Pokemon: The First Movie or some loveable plush toy in the $20-$30 range. Needless to say, I'm puzzled when he hands me a small box. Inside is this absolutely lovely diamond tennis bracelet. I later find out from a mutual friend that he worked extra days and put away a lot of extra money to buy it. Without question, it's absolutely lovely, and it was an incredibly sweet gesture. At the same time, though, he's like, "Well, here you go" with the whole thing and acting all casual and.. and... well, I think it's just plain weird. Moreover, when I thanked him for said bracelet, he said, "Oh, there's no need to thank me. I know you only like really nice things, so I thought I should get you something really nice." Hmm. Boys are weird. In all the best ways. Off to mail graduation invitations and announcements. I want a pink dress for my college graduation party, but I've had no luck in finding one. Any suggestions?
