Merry Christmas!

I saw you oggling this at Target the last time you went with me there, so I assumed that you didn't have this yet. Wow. Sex Pistols, on vinyl? Seems cool, even to me.

Anyway, I just wanted you to know that...um...I'm really thankful that you don't hate me. For, you know. Breaking up with Teresa. You really  should hate me--because she's your best friend more than I was to her-- but you chose not to. Heck, you even gave me a hug when she dashed off in tears, and whispered to me, "You did the right thing, Thomas," before running off to follow Teresa.

And even before that. You were always there for me, Rachel. You lured me into this entire science club shit, and meeting you and everyone else (yes, Aris, included) has been one of the best things that's happened to me.

I know I'm not in the position to say things like this anymore, but...look out for Teresa for me, okay?

Here's a poem for you, because I'm cool.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Punk rock will never be dead
As long as I'm with you

Merry Christmas!
