Sometimes I think I am so clever. After work this evening, I bought Dave's birthday present, The Matrix Reloaded DVD. I know how much he has been wanting to see it.

An hour ago, I thought I was so clever I was giggling with delight. He will love this, I think.

Then I think he has been wanting to see it for so long, and was going to rent it this weekend.

I think I'd better give it to him early.

I get home and ask him if he wants his present early.

He says no. He can wait.

Well, fuck waiting. I wanted to give it NOW as he will spoil it if I don't.

He says no again.

I was jsut getting ready to open my fucking mouth and beg and plead to give him his present early.

I happen to glance at his desk.

What is sitting all brandy-new in cellophane on his desk?

The Matrix Reloaded.

Fucking A.

Now I am stuck with a movie that I will probably hate.

Should just exchange it for a chick flick.

Dave must be amazed at how easy I gave that up. Would have felt like such a dork to give him something he just bought an few hours ago.
