I had admired her secretly for six long years, ever since we began sharing an office. I was so happy. I had prayed that if I could have a girl friend, I'd only kiss her, and only if she wanted me to. Now it looked like those prayers would be answered. Sharleena wouldn't be like Jane. Jane hurt me. I did something special for her: I rewrote the c-shell so it would print the command line backwards! Those silly, frivolous, things ... I went to pick her up ... I was so excited. I could hear carolling, I could smell turkey and stuffing ... Her roommate looked at me funny and sad ... "Sharleena's in Florida with her family"... I *did* think it strange the only day she had free this month was December 25th ... "You must be Vikki," I said ... "Yes" ... A long pause ... "Vikki, would you like to spend Christmas dragging the gut with me?" ... Another pause ... "You the goof that rewrote the c-shell for her?" ... "Yes" ... "Love isn't so special, is it, Ernie? ...
