So, The 20th is my girlfriend's birthday. Which is tomorrow. One hour from now, to be specific. Seeing as I'm in a long distance relationship with her right now (no, i have not moved yet...) It would take me at least a day to ship her a present.

Now, about a month ago, i went to a jeweler, and picked out a couple of .75 carat sapphires. He told me that he would order some white gold casings for them, so i could give her a pair of earrings that had been set with her favorite stone. So, no big deal, right? I gave him my number, and he told me that he would call me as soon as they were done so i could come down and pick them up.

Since then, it has been what seems like ages, and i've been down there twice more to see if he had finished yet. as of last week, he hadn't. and each time, he had a different excuse for why he hadn't taken the ten minutes and set the fucking stones in the fucking earrings.

So now, it's almost my girlfriend's birthday, and i'm going to have to give them to her late, because of a jeweler with an IQ of 46. Fuck.

(no, i'm not asking for anything. i just needed to rant a bit. grrrr...)

The New York Institute for Modern Psionics is always willing to accept donations, and seeing as i'm it's head chairman, i suppose you could just paypal me the money and save us both some time....

I'll do it if you start talking in my head or something.

'kay. But for that you're going to have to stand about five feet in front of me.

Sorry to be off-topic, but, were you the one who wrote the psionics text file? It's either you or Siatek.

Nope, wasn't me. As far as real life psionics go, it's closer to tai chi then anything else. I doubt any of that "psi ball" shit is real.

Psycho Crusher!

*flames rip through you*

Bison Wins!

Miss the birthday, thus getting her pissed off at you.

Give her the earrings to apologize.

Have make-up sex.

Win/win.

First, I'd need to obliterate the catholic church. any ideas?

Just say you wanna rli give them to her in person. Lets say in a romantic way, she will probably apreciate that more than through the post.

Just say "I got ya something special but due to idiots the store hasn't finished"
