All i want for Christmas...

All i really want for Christmas is the same thing that i want every year.
I want to be able to try "New Coke". This year i even went as far as
emailing the people at CocaCola to see if they would send me some.
I finally got a reply (sort of):



FROM DUSTY, TO COKE-

I have heard all about "New Coke", but somehow
i never tried it when it was introduced. I was
wondering if there was any way possible for me
to get my hands on some.

FROM COKE, TO DUSTY-
We appreciate your interest in The Coca-Cola
Company and will respond to your email as quickly
as possible.

Your Thread ID is 1-EKJTRA. Please refer to this
ID for future assistance on your message.

We thank you for your patience.

Sincerely,
The Coca-Cola Company

Now can someone please tell me what they meant by that?
Does that mean that they will email me again?
Or do i need to await the visit of a suspicious looking guy
in a trench-coat (not Tre) and respond with
"1-EKJTRA" when he tells me that "the amber goose flys at midnight"?

Basically, i just want someone to help me get ahold of some
New Coke. Any ideas would be appreciated. By the way,
Merry Christmas!

Oh yeah, don't forget to take the Herro Kitty Psych Test

Playing Favorites

Parents always say that they don't have a favorite child. My parents said it. Just because they say it though, doesn't make it true. Take my family for instance, my sister (Kristie) and i both know that i am the favorite child in our family. In fact, she is always bringing up bitter memories of the past just to point out the fact that I am the favorite. I would like to hear from my avid readers. Were you "the favorite" or the bitter, resentful sibling, who was forced into the shadows by parents who refused to face the truth?
