I have a confession to make. I’m a trust fund baby and a member of the educated Elite. In my defense, I'm a newcomer in both categories. I got my trust fund at 18 and graduated Yale University this year. I was a double major, at university, in biochemistry and celibacy, until as a sophomore, I met this tall, handsome, awkward, disheveled, physicist in a coffee shop and knavishly schemed my way into his life. (He insists that he knavishly schemed his way into my life.) Let’s get poetic-ish.. I said, “Let’s start a flirtationship abstract, immaterial and fun. We have a little chemistry - an interesting.. tension. Could we just have an involvement and not read into it? Something friction free, hands free, germ free, and guilt free? Let's get a pizza, don't worry, I'm paying.” Of course, that was a lie. I had designs, I wanted him in the utmost and honestly, when do I not get what I want? "I was by far the knavishist." I admitted. "Then you don't know knavishEST.," he responded, shaking his head 'no'. . . songs for this: Honeypie by JAWNY Really Saying Something by Bananarama & Fun Boy Three

<3 . You know, I could squeeze something clever, complementary, sharing, or inquisitive into 500 characters. And you would respectfully respond, which I’m sure must feel like a chore, at least sometimes. But I’m feeling like I just want to sit with this one and just bask in the enchantment your words engender in me.

Shouldn't you be in bed? Classes tomorrow. And I've seen Peter's picture. Hardly disheveled
