Good to hear from you. :)

Let me take the opportunity to announce that I still have your latest e-mail in my inbox, waiting for me to respond to it. It might take a while (yes, even longer), since I am caught in just-before-exam studying. Sorry.

That's OK. I figured that you were in the midst of exam-build up, so I am cutting you slack :P Respond at your leisure!

Also, I had no idea that "finieren" wasn't a verb in German. Boy, I sure avoided some embarrassment there!

You are most gracious.

What about "finieren"? Where did it come up? Ich stehe gerade auf'm Schlauch.

I thought it meant "to finish" but it turns out to mean...nothing at all. I have been believing this fallacy for years! It didn't come up anywhere, it was just part of the corpus of knowledge until recently!

Tell no-one.

Ich bin sehr dankbar. Doch keine Erpressung!

Oh no!

Although ... you just might want to send me some more pictures of you, just to be sure...

More blackmail material, no doubt! I'm onto you...

Sneaky Germans.

Blackmail? BLACKMAIL? I would never blackmail you, my darling love. Sell your pictures to the highest bidder, perhaps, but never blackmail you. That would be unethical.
