Well, Christmas Eve, actually. And yeah, he has a name, but I enjoy the fact that all of his friends and co-workers who have directed them to this weblog now call him “Guy I’m Dating” or G.I.D. for short.
Ernie: Okay, first of all, I’m not good at giving presents and Christmas time, so don’t hate me that this gift isn’t wrapped. Here you go.
GID: Ohmygod. It’s a picture of a lobster.
Ernie: A lobster. Stuffed with diamonds. You like it?
GID: Ohmygod.
Ernie: You like it? My roommate drew it for me.
GID: Ohmygod.
I’m pretty sure it was a good “Ohmygod.” Don’t worry, I bought him a sweater so I wouldn’t feel like a cheapskate. I’ll probably be borrowing it one of these days anyway. Heh.
