birthday present for next year?

Allison: dave gets a 10% discount on the iphone! whoooweee!
Geoffrey: nice! you might have to get a different area code though
Allison: oh. never thought of that. but maybe he just gets the discount on the hardware. so i could buy it and activate it w/my number. we'll talk about it at home over xmas. he said the 16 gig and 24 gig models are coming out in '08
Geoffrey: yeah, you might want to wait for those. Howie says he's gotten three new ones as his model is riddled with bugs. i'd wait for the new models. Terry had problems with his too. the first version of anything mac is never good. Jobs always fixes it with version 2. same thing happened with the original iPods
Allison: true

I'll call you on my way home. love you toots!
Allison: ok, that sounds like fun. love you! xoxo

Ham and Cheese

Allison: score! 2 pedi appts at 2PM on saturday 12/22 hooray!
Geoffrey: make sure you tell mom now so she keeps that time open on her calendar and doesn't schedule picking up the ham
Allison: ha, will do. we're going to end up picking up the ham, i'm sure :)
Geoffrey: that's my fave part of going home. Picking up the "ham"
Allison: HA
Geoffrey: it will be meaningless to me next year when I am 100% vegan
Allison: jigga wha?
Geoffrey: hehehehehe. I doubt I will eat much meat when we are home. i barely eat any now
Allison: its a big jump from no meat to vegan
Geoffrey: i had a salad today. When we went to Song the other week, I didn't have meat. I had Mexican and didn't order pollo. I'm very conscious of it now. I never order a slice with pepperoni
Allison: yeah but vegan is no cheese, no dairy, no eggs, etc
Geoffrey: i know that. that might be hard for me. no cheese is hard. i like it. i don't miss milk. it hurts me. i love ice cream. that would be gone :(
Allison: if milk hurts you then ice cream should too
Geoffrey: it does. it hurts me in the morning.

i can't even watch it!!!!!
Allison: WHAT???
that is ridiculously disgusting
do they do it for a sexual thing?
Geoffrey: yes
people get off on other people's feces. I know that. But I didn't know about people getting off on vomit
the world is fucking crazy
Allison: that is the foulest thing i've ever heard
Geoffrey: yeah, it's on a porn site(the original video) so it must be a sexual freak thing
