It will be interesting to see the flipside of this with Recruit.
On a side note I had to add a tear to the smiley face in their email subjects cause it kept doing this
which u don't get a proper smiley when u do that in a subject line..lol stupid but annoying. Mostly self edited so usual disclaimer applies.Season 4 Continues...

Still avoiding me? Clark, I am hurt ..very hurt. I thought we had a better relationship then that. I am still expecting you to do that assignment.

SUBJECT: re: :'(
Do you actually think, Lois, that I can just walk up to any girl and do the assignment? As you so often have pointed out, this is Smallville. A small town.
Besides, I thought you were taking a break from all things weird.

SUBJECT: re: re: :'(
So.. go to Granville. As if that would hurt you. Not as many people know you and I am sure there is some pretty blonde you can practice on. I swear I heard you mention to your dad that some Tracey was a nice girl.
I am taking a break from the weird. Are you putting yourself in the same category Clarkie? Aw, you really need to buck up that self esteem there champ. Can't win the girls if you see yourself as weird.
FROM: Clark Kent
TO: isthisloveCoverdale@thedigitalwave.com
SUBJECT: uh no..
I am not even going to continue the 'weird' conversation.
Lois, Stacey is like in her 40's. And I said I thought Stacey was a nice lady. How you got 'girl' from that I don't know. While I am sure she'd be flattered by the attention, as she says I am cute, she has a son only a few years younger then me. So it would be at the least..creepy.
FROM: Lois Lane
TO: Elmerfudd@thedigitalwave.com
SUBJECT: re: uh no..
Okay, so Stacey wouldn't work. You don't go for older woman I guess huh?
Hmm..Oh, at that little grocers was that tiny blonde, kinda like another tiny blonde we know, who I think thought you were cute. Personally, Ithink she is a little crazy but obviously for this assignment to work someone has to find you desirable.
Smallville, the only thing weird about you is your obsession for flannel.
FROM: Clark Kent
TO: isthisloveCoverdale@thedigitalwave.com
SUBJECT: re: re: uh no.
Two things Lois, one.. no matter how many hints you throw out there, I am not going to try this on Chloe. Nor Candy. She's a bit.. let's just say she isn't my type.
Two, for someone who thinks that its weird others would find me desirable, you seem to want to spend a lot of time with me and give me loads of attention. Its a little ironic don't you think?
Oh and I'm not the only one who likes flannel.
FROM: Lois Lane
TO: Elmerfudd@thedigitalwave.com
SUBJECT:re:re: re: uh no.
Do you honestly think I desire you? Whatever Smallville! No, I just enjoy tormenting you. That is all. You're like free cable, an all in one farm boy sports package.
I also love how you say you're not doing this assignment and yet discussing options of who to practice on. Truly that is ironic aspect of all this.
Not the only one to like flannel? No, you're not. There are let's see oh..lumberjacks and.. mostly yeah its just lumberjacks.
FROM: Clark Kent
TO: isthisloveCoverdale@thedigitalwave.com
SUBJECT: no subject
I wasn't discussing options. I was simply pointing out that your suggestions wouldn't work if I did do the assignment. Which I am not.
You know what Lois? Consider yourself cut off from your free entertainment. Think of it as your own assignment or better yet a challenge, can Lois go a week without having her 'Clarkie' fix?
Also Lois, I wasn't referring to lumberjacks. I was actually thinking of a certain girl who likes to invade my space and steal my clothes.
FROM: Lois Lane
TO: Elmerfudd@thedigitalwave.com
SUBJECT: You are gonna lose!
Fine you're on! This won't take any effort plaid man, I don't need a Clarkie fix. Its going to be you missing meby the way. In fact, I bet before the week is out you'll need me.
Oh I will only do this challenge on the condition that you have to do the assignment if I win. No more weaseling your way out of it.
Sleeping in your shirts Smallville, only means I like sleeping in flannel. It doesn't mean I have an obsession with it. Unlike you it doesn't compirse of most of my wardrobe.
FROM: Clark Kent
TO: isthisloveCoverdale@thedigitalwave.com
SUBJECT:re:You are gonna lose!
Need you? Highly unlikely. So okay from today till next Thursday. Not one email or you lost the challenge.
And since I know you'll lose I can deal with the conditions. Talk to you in a few days Lois
By the way, I think you meant comprise. Spell check Lois! it doesn't actually hurt.
FROM: Lois Lane
TO: Elmerfudd@thedigitalwave.com
SUBJECT: re: re: You are gonna lose!
Okay okay..so I am breaking the silence and losing the challenge. But I just had to say.. What were you thinking? Alicia? Vegas? Marriage?
Smallville, you are the oddest farm boy i've ever known. What are you going to do next? Join a motorcycle gang. I can picture it now a leather jacket with a plaid patch sewn on the back. haha.
FROM: Clark Kent
TO: isthisloveCoverdale@thedigitalwave.com
SUBJECT: re: re: re: You are gonna lose!
Its a little complicated Lois. I can't really go into it but no,no motorcycle gangs. This hasn't been some sort of walk in the park for me.

SUBJECT:nosubject
I bet it hasn't, Ma and Pa must be pretty ticked. No worries Smallville. I've been down this road in my own way. Though getting hitched was not one of them.
Where you on drugs by chance? Though I figure you'd probably have to be drugged to be on drugs, atleast willingly.

Can we drop the subject please Lois, for once?

Sure.
Oh, I know you've been hiding in your barn the last few days but perhaps you might think about coming out and joining the human race. Karaoke night tomorrow night!

I don't sing Lois. So not so sure what the point would be.

SUBJECT: re: re: poke
Does there half to be a point? Besides, Chloe and I can never not sing. You have to come just for that..I promise it will be entertaining
Who knows? You might actually have fun and widen your musical tastes all at the same time.
Shocking idea I know..

Ha ha Lois. I might come, I'll think about it.
FROM: Lois Lane

SUBJECT: Hey.. : )
Hi Clark,
Just wanted to see how you were doing. Chloe said you've been kinda down since...well, you know. I know I'm not the best person for this sorta thing and God knows I tend to put my foot in my mouth.
I just wanted you to know that I've been where your at. Not the exact same circumstances, but I lost someone I cared about and I had tried to help.
Since I am not very good with the whole words and empathy thing, I'll just tell you what happened and if you do ever just want to talk, you know where to find me. I promise to not bust your chops.
Right after I had turned 15, my dad had gotten a transfer order. We ended up in this little army base. I have to say I didn't think I'd make any friends as quick as I did. First day, I met this girl named Maggie. She was a lot of fun and we became inseparable, although I never went to her house and when she went home, it was always on her own. I should have clued in then that something was wrong, but I didn't, not at first.
Then one day, she came over and I saw the first sign. It was the beginning of summer at the time and the first real warm day. I mentioned going swimming and she balked. Being nosy like I am, I had to know why and found that she had bruises all over her. Usually hidden by her clothes.
I just assumed it was her dad. It wasn't far fetched because he was known for his temper. And sometime in those communities, people don't say anything. You'd think they would, but they don't. Anyway, I made a stink and a fuss on behalf of Maggie, no one really listened to me, said Maggie was difficult and needed a firm hand as she was often in trouble.
Maggie never seemed upset about my help or even what was being said about her, but she kept insisting it wasn't her father. I didn't really believe her, but I couldn't get her to tell me who it really was.
One day she didn't come over like we planned. So I went to her house. Maggie was in bed, she had gotten beat up pretty good. I made her go to the medical center when she coughed up blood. Turned out she had a few ribs, amoung other things, broken.
Everything exploded. I never got to see Maggie really after that. Her dad was put through the ringer as they investigated him. At the time I was happy, because I believed she'd be okay. Then three weeks later, Maggie disappeared and it couldn't have been her dad because he had been deployed before hand.
She was found two days later.
I'm not one for crying, but I did then. Maggie deserved better than that and when it came out who had been hurting her and killed her, I wanted to hurt them. I never told anyone that before. Not even the General knows what I had actually been planning. It never came to pass. Lucky for me, there were too many obstacles in the way.
Like I said, I know its not the same nor will it take away the pain of how you feel. But maybe it will help to know you're not alone.
I'm coming down this weekend, so I'll be around if you want to talk.
FROM: Lois Lane
TO: Elmerfudd@thedigitalwave.com
SUBJECT: Hello!
The whole thing in the barn last night..was just to torment me with awkward silences. I've told you I don't like them!!
Just for that I'm working on a new lesson plan.
FROM: Clark Kent
TO: isthisloveCoverdale@thedigitalwave.com
SUBJECT: re: Hello!
Lois, you did offer to be there. I told you then I didn't really have anything to say so I don't know why you decided to torture yourself. I was doing my chores so I am sure I could have survived without you.
FROM: Lois Lane
TO: Elmerfudd@thedigitalwave.com
SUBJECT: re: re: Hello!
That's the thing though isn't Smallville? You really do need to you know..talk. Chloe would be happy to listen if you don't want to spill it to me. Bottling all that up can't be good. One day you're gonna explode and I don't want to be picking pieces of farm boy and flannel out of my hair.
Question..if you weren't doing chores does that mean you would have needed me?I find the way you worded that interesting.
FROM: Clark Kent
TO:isthisloveCoverdale@thedigitalwave.com
SUBJECT: re: re: re: Hello!
Lois, I am thankful for you offering to be here for me. And what you said and wrote, it has helped and If i ever need to talk, Chloe or even you will know. So don't take this the wrong way but isn't there someone else you can drive to distraction?
FROM: Lois Lane
TO:Elmerfudd@thedigitalwave.com
SUBJECT: : )
Okay...Okay.I can take a hint. So I'll leave you alone..for now. Seriously though..talk to someone.
Smallville, there is only one you and no one else will do for driving to distraction
Feel special.. you are FROM: Clark Kent

Gee Thanks Lois! You are too kind..
