The Best Friend in the WOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLD!
So I have this best friend from college, right? He also happens to be my ex, but we were best friends first and we're still really close. He calls me on the way home from work (he lives in Florida, I live in TN) and we talk about fandom related crap (because he's the reason I got into comics and Smallville, so it's all his fault). Anyway you can skip this crap, the important stuff is below.
I few days ago he tells me that he's sending me a "present". He also claimed there was an "inscription" but I didn't believe him because he is not the sentimental type...at all. Anyway, I like being surprised, so I didn't ask what it was. Even still I assumed it was something like an action figure (Superman, Batman, Transformer, whatever), but I was still looking forward to it because I love free stuff...especially fandom related. I got the Fed Ex slip in the mail yesterday and I went to pick it up a few hours ago and had to wait till I got home just a little while ago to open it.
It was wrapped in bubble wrap, which I thought was overkill for a Transformer. Until I pulled the box out of the bubble wrap and saw the Apple logo. I was like, "What?" And then I opened up the box and said out loud, "No, he didn't."
This boy bought me an iPod Touch for Christmas. I seriously started crying when I opened it. Can I marry him now?
The "inscription" was a note in a small envelope attached to the box that says "Merry Christmas I know its early but there was a sale. Plus I owed you money from wwwaaaaaaayyyyyy back. Enjoy."
I knew what he was referring to, but I'd never brought up the fact that he owed me money from, like, three or four years ago. I wasn't even gonna stress about it until he found a job that he actually liked (and he definietly hates the one he has now. Post college jobs are like that). But, seriously, he is the best friend EVER! It's not that he got me an iPod Touch...it's that he got me and iPod Touch. It's the thought because I'd just been telling him how I need (like anyone needs an iPod) to get a new one because I've had mine since 2005 and I've drop it about as many times that in a very short time it might not work anymore (but boy is that thing resiliant).
Can you believe that? *squishes him*
ETA: OMG I TOTALLY MISSED THE ACTUAL INSCRIPTION ON THE BACK OF THE IPOD!!! It says:
Merry Christmas T-Baby (That's the nickname he insists on calling me)
Elliott
I repeat: Can you believe that? *squishes him*
