ok I bought something from ebay for the FIRST TIME last week. I make a good deal of money now and I never spend it on anything except rent, so I thought I would treat myself to something. So I got a sweater from ebay. I got it from someone called "leewinter" and I had been in email contact with this person and I just have to share the email correspondence because it is just bizarre to me. So she emailed me innocently enought o say that my sweater had shipped and I emailed back "I will let you know when it gets here, thanks so much!" (I use a lot of exclamation points in my emails). And this is the email I got back:
"Thanks Katie. Give it a bit of time, well you are you paid with e-check that's time right there.
You sound like me??REALLY nice? I have a few more items to list? I do NOT do this. I'm a buyer!!
I'm trying to raise funds for my dog . He has cancer, 2 year old beagle. I'm not doing to bad.Vet
bills are 3,000-up!! He seems to be doing well. BUT your a nice buyer like me? I already had 1 girl email me yesterday, wheres by package,bla,bla,??? OMG!!!.It was sent over the weekend,I'm not responsible for the postal delays??I worked there I know!! PLEASE keep that in mind its holiday Monday. All Gov offices are closed? Think I will stick to buying. You got a deal on that sweater paid 60 for it. No returns. I had no choice. Thanks for being YOU, Your Friend, Lee"
Ok I literally copied and pasted that email from my account. So then I waited a few days and got the sweater no problem, it's very cute and it still had the price tag on it ($57) and I only paid $25. pretty good deal! So I emailed her back and said thanks, it got here fine. She had also included a thank-you card in the package, which I also thanked her for. And I got this email back:
" Your so VERY WELCOME!! You are the only buyer that emailed me back?? That's important to me? Your one hellof a girl!! Thanks so much, Hope you like it,I LOVE IT!! You got one hell of a deal!! Love Always, Lee".
Ok I don't know what it is, but there is a trend with using question marks in place of what should be exclamation points, and use of bad grammar. It just bugged me to even read it. But she seems very nice, although a little weird.

I can't remember who it was who said that using an exclamation point is like laughing at your own joke... Lee was, like, rolling in the aisle at his/her (?) own joke.
I like the email, though, because it sort of reminds me of those weird emails I once got from the prince of Nigeria. He also was not very good with English grammar, and he needed funds for his own suffering dog and vet bills. Weird, ey?
You're a good friend, though. Even to people who only meet you once, briefly, over eBay.
Also--you have a blog?? I have so much to learn about you!
