S: LTL
Spoke to my mum this morning – she had waved off the plane this morning and they are on their way back now. She was thrilled to meet Hayden again – everyone says how much he looks like me. Had a good chat with her – will tell you about it later.
Good luck with everything today baby. Knock ’em dead and show ’em some leg

T: bet shes’ sad to see Hayden go – like seeing you off again then, was it? or was she happy that time around?

S: HAHAHAHA – you think yr funny – but yr not!
That was only the second time I saw my mum cry – when I left England. First time was when my Grandad died. I hugged her both times.
So what you wearing? You happy? I’m a bit sore in the neck – but no headache yet but I’m sure it will come.
Shaun (what’s my Chinese name – I think I should get one – what kind of symbols would be suitable)

T: my lip’s so sore, it’s making me wince and cry.

S: I can’t even kiss it better – cos it would make it worse.

T: i’m going to have to pout my way through the day.

S: Wish I could see that pout.

T: cheer me up baby, you do – ltl

S: I’m feeling pretty chirpy today. Gonna leave at 4.30. I got an interview at 2pm on Monday for that UNIX position!!! Better polish my shoes hey!
Shauny-worny

T: sha – hun? maybe?
it means silly white trying to be one of us – let’s make fun of him (sorry babe)

S: You will be sorry – very sorry. I got the rope ready!

T: well then, i think you cry more than your mother – you must be the girl of the family (ha). you should definitely go back then baby. and stay there…..no don’t. i’d miss you.

S: Yr stuck with me babe – sorry about that.

T: anyway, i think i’ve only seen my mother cry a few times too – but even though she seems it, i don’t think she’s that tough. she cried over her cheeseburger when dad told her to lay off andrew and they had a bit of a domestic – i remember it well, i felt very sorry for her, and it was wierd to see her cry – i think she tried to hide it – that was
the first time i remember seeing her cry.

S: It’s pretty weird isn’t it. Maybe it was the cheeseburger.

T: good luck baby – you go good! you better put on your favourite dress for the occasion

S: Thanks sweety. I’m not sure I’ll actually WANT to do the job but what the hell – something different to do on a Monday hey!
Well, I’ll just HAVE to go shopping for a new skirt.
Sha-hun (what the flip does that mean)>

T: hey, just did the marketing trial multiple choice thing again – and got 20/22!!!!!! but kept getting stuck on the one question – then i got it finally!!! i got 22!!!!
cool huh, love tlj, ltl…..

S: Hope they ask you the same q’s in the exam! You’re the best baby. I got faith in you – hope you got it in me! Was sad yesterday when you said you felt guilty cos I still don’t think you have anything to be guilty about and after all we are in the here and now….sorry – got off track there can always talk about this some other time when you’ve got less on your mind. Sorry sorry sorry. You r cool yr da best don’t ever expand yr chest

S: Where you bin? I bin calling you no answer me. Snubber? Like friday mon – you snub me.
Snub me no more lady I no like it.
Sexy

T: well, i was just out having lunch with two older gentlemen – who paid for me! and it was yum-cha!

S: Damn it babe you make me so jealous. Who are these old guys – I’ll kill em!

T: so i couldn’t answer the phone. anyway, you still meeting me babe? what time, where? are you going straight to the harbourside brasserie – cause if you are you should meet me at uni, and i’ll see if i can go out from there.

S: I guess I can meet you at uni but I probably won’t get there til about 7. If you want you can come meet me in Chatswood or just wait at the bar for me – let me know.

T: anyway, i know you’ll be at the physio, so reply with a time to meet and a place, and if i can’t make it, i’ll leave a message on your answering machine.

S: Well, meet me at the bar at around 7. Otherwise meet me in Chatswood – I’ll drop you home if you have to go home or we can amble down into the city stopping for a coffee or something on the way. How does that sound?

T: feeling a bit sick though.

S: I have a cure for that.

T: better go, classes start in 10 mins. had a great time looking at books in the co-op shop. there’s so much stuff I just gotta read!

S: You know what I’m gonna say don’t you?

T: ok, be at the bar around 7 but be there quick – or i’ll get pissed…………………………off, and i’ll leave.

S: I’ll be there soon as I can sweetheart – you betcha oh yes dolly babe

T: by the way, don’t you dare kill those GENTLEmen – i think they’re pretty rich and handsome. they can drive too, and they’re of very high breeding – very good bloodline so i’ve heard.

S: Inbred? Seriously – any friend of yours is a friend of mine (if they wanna be of course (and most of them don’t (oh well)))

T: see ya babe, tlj.

S: You will and you better believe this monkey’s coming at ya full force dynamo baby shock baby boo

S: TLJ
Hey, thanks for the education last night in Dial-Up Networking and Telnet – you’re a Unix Queen! I did some more mucking around last night changing the prompt and setting up aliases. They only keep the setting for that session though. I want them as default – I know they’ll be a setting somewhere – do you know where it is – could be in the /usr/passwd file maybe. Anyway, enough of that techo talk. thanks for a wonderful night last night and I’m glad you din’t get too upset at yr thrashings at gin rummy! i was very sporting in my loss at Spit I thought.
I had a dream last night that I had a big toenail – just on the left foot.

catch ya honey. hope you’re having a great day, Shaun went all the way, with tlj!!!!!!!!!

I like this – can we do it again?
Again?
Again?
Again….
Shaun

T: alright sweety, here’s how i think you can do it. vi or pico your .cshrc file and set up aliases in there – for example, an entry could be
alias dir ‘ls-la’, or
alias exit ‘bye’ or something like that. if this doesn’t work, i don’t know what will – is this what you wanted to know?

i hope this email has been informative and helpful. now i gotta print some stuff off.

speak to you later, love tlj

S: TLJ
Another quick Q then. What is your .cshrc file? Also how do I do a list of .cshrc files from the root searching all subdirectories (so I can find where this file is stored?) Yes, what you wrote below is what I want to do
you are a legend – very informative and helpful – thank you baby
Yes, please speak to me later.
Shaun

T: the file is stored in my /student/tl** directory. it is a hidden file, thus you have to do a dir or ls-la on it as ‘-a’ shows all hidden files. does this answer part of your question? oh – you mean on your machine????? umm try ls-al anyway, and i’ll get back to you if this doesn’t work ok?
glad to be able to help in any way.
love tlj

T: sorry i mean alias bye exit as is the one in my .cshrc file.

S: Does this mean you can type bye at the command prompt and it will execute exit?

T: if you want you can pico my .cshrc file but don’t fuck with anything ok? punk…….

S: Only with you sweety – I don’t wanna pico yr files anyway – not after my telling off last night!

T: was pretty jovial this morning and wanted to jump up and down and see you

S: Ahh, wish you coulda…

T: but just feeling very sleepy now.

S: Me too….zzzzzz

T: have a great time tonight, TLJ

S: I’m debating whether to go or not….maybe find out how much it costs first…YOU have a great time tonight too – whatever you are doing
Shauny

T: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you’re getting the hang of it – so am I actually. i thought i’d only learnt to email at uni…
tlj

S: TLJ
Decided not to go tonight – I’m too tired and should save some cash (I can watch DC instead!). I want to go next Tuesday to the Iron Duke (perhaps you can go to that one?). Hope yr having a good day and hope you get yr SM finished today.
Shaun

T: i think tonight sounds even better – aren’t all those noise bands you love so much playing??? i think you’d really have fun. anyway, i’m sorry you’re not going…….i wish i could go.
love tlj
ps – any more luck with .cshrc thing????

T: wanted to come see you, but was busy printing

S: What kind of piss-poor excuse is this???? So you’d rather be printing than coming to see me. I hope it was double-sided colour and not some cheap B+W you picked up on the corner.

T: and now it’s 1:30 and I’ve got to get home to do sm before josh comes.

S: Read that last sentence back (with a perverted mind)….I really don’t wanna think about it.

T: hope i can see you tomorrow

S: YOU BETTER

T: love ya sweety, tlj – ring ya from home (and bed)

S: You did – thank you!
