reyonthehill
: though we dont call them
crkr44
: huh
crkr44: ? was there a falling out?
reyonthehill: okay short-long story
crkr44
: by the way, all the “we’s” are hilarious
reyonthehill: emilia thought that the twosome had
broken up since the two had different addresses (in
syracuse alumni listings) which i guess dont mean a
thing

reyonthehill
: then i get a random email from greg
mentioning how they vbought a place together (around
8 months ago) which i forwarded to emilia

reyonthehill
: she replies dsaying “i guess i was wrong,
they are still together” and may have written an
additional line i cant remmeber now

reyonthehill
: but she replyed ALL
reyonthehill
: and greg got the email
reyonthehill
: which if u read quickly might sound bad if
u were greg or liz (not really, but u know how people
are)

reyonthehill
: especially if it was unintentionally sent to
u

crkr44
: I hear ya. like maybe it sounded like you thought
they would spit

reyonthehill: then emilia tried to RECALL the message
with OUTLOOK

crkr44
: that’s funny
reyonthehill: so greg got an email saying EMILIA is
RECALLING such a message

reyonthehill
: doesnt look good
crkr44
: ha ha. that’s funny email humor
reyonthehill: for new years em and i went to santa
barbara and took a day to go to LA

reyonthehill
: i tried calling liz and greg and they
wouldnt call us bac

crkr44
: that’s bs
reyonthehill: although i am not sure if i had right
number or not, but it makes story sound better that
way

crkr44
: its not even like anything was bad
crkr44: ha ha, it does
reyonthehill: yes, i specialize in email humor
reyonthehill
: thats the story
crkr44
