the back of the doll, it registers that and bzzt! Immediate failing grade.
So, how is the fishing thing with your dad going? Are you looking forward to coming to Paris and getting away from stinky fish stuff? I can’t wait for you to come. I can’t wait for my birthday! Oh. Geez. That sounds really pushy of me, doesn’t it? Ignore that. I’m not being pushy. I mean, if you don’t want to...you know...we don’t have to. I’m sure we can do something else. Cards, maybe. Or there’s French TV, it’s kind of fun. You can tell me what the people are saying. Or we could go see a movie.
Oh, never mind. Just forget that I e-mailed you and mentioned doing it, ‘K?
Big hugsy kisses,
Emily

be silly, I’ve told you a hundred times that I want to. You’re the only bird I’ve ever dated who thought I didn’t want to. I do, OK? Comprendez-vous?
You’re mad at me, aren’t you? You’re mad and speaking snide French at me because you think I’m acting like a big baby, right? Well, I can’t help it! I’ve never done this before! You have to cut me a litle slack here ‘cause I don’t know what I’m doing! Well, I mean, I know, I’ve seen the movies and had the talks, and besides, I watch HBO, so I know what happens, but I don’t have any practical experience at it, and now you’re mad at me because I wish I had!
I’m going to go sit on my bed and cry great big buckets of tears now. Just as soon as I’ve fed Jack.
Weepily,
Emily

Emily, I swear to god above, I WANT YOU! I’m not mad and I know you’re scared,
but I want you to stop thinking that I don’t want you, because I do. A lot. OK? You’re my girl, so stop worrying.
Scared? Moi? Hahahahahah, I laugh! Concerned, yes. Curious, oh yeah. Worried...mmm...OK. But scared? Bwahahahah!
Emily the so not scared

good. There’s nothing to be scared about. It’ll be fun. Erm...maybe not the first time, though. You’re not one of those people who runs to the doctor for everything, are you? My sister had to go to hospital after she shagged her boyfriend because she thought she might have picked up a disease from him. She fainted when they did a blood test.
OMG! OMG! TMI, TMI!
Emily the changing her mind about the whole thing...

understand it, I go places! I see things! But wherever you go, you find hotties. It’s just not fair, especially since you have a BF. And a French hottie! Did he have an accent? Was it droolworthy?
Pascal? Yeah, he has a French accent, and it is kind of nice, but you know, it’s not like I’m a hottie magnet or anything. I’m going with Devon, so I’m not looking for guys, and I can’t help it if there are just oodles more hotties in England and France than there are back home. And I can’t help but be polite to Pascal—Brother’s always on about being a Good American and all that stuff—so when Pascal stopped by my solitary confinement room this morning to see how I was doing, I forced myself to chat with him.
You’re not buying that forced bit, are you? Sigh. I figured you wouldn’t. You know me too well. OK, the truth is he’s just absolutely scrumdillyicious, although I am not interested in him that way. He’s just a friend. A really hot, nummy-eyed, drool-makingly fabu über-hottie friend, but still just a friend.
Mmmrrowr!
Speaking of that, do you know anyone who bled to death after doing it the first time?
I’m sorry you got stuck with Jack. That doesn’t seem fair that everyone should have I love the idea of buying him baby clothes! Have you seen them? Some of that stuff is so cute!
OMG! I went shopping this afternoon with Holly and the Y’all Sisters, and you would not believe the cute things I bought for Jack! This Puces Market place is utterly fabu! It’s actually a whole bunch of markets together, each with different sorts of stuff. There’s an antique market (interesting but very pricey),
