Subject: Hi
Moved into the dorm here and just finally got the wireless set up. No roommate yet; he's a Junior and I guess they don't have to check in for a few more days. Not completely unpacked, but I found the Dekaranger guy. Dork. ...He's on my desk.
Also I found the other thing, which is *not* on my desk. And is still evil. Also got your
e-mail. I repeat. Dork.
I tried to call, but the twinkiephone's acting wacky. It works just fine for regular numbers, but it won't reach Fandom. Willow says it's probably just something to do with the portal, but it's been two days and it still hasn't worn off; you may have to look at it when I come home back for Homecoming. Was starting to get worried that the e-mail would be the same way til I got the chance to log in and found yours.
Tell everybody I miss them and I'll write soon - this is the test shot over the bow for the alumni network thing. Let's see if I got it right!
love you,
Xander

Yes, it took about six times before he finally gave up trying for the night.
