This site is just for miscellaneous stuff that I am doing. Check back often, as always, because this site is constantly evolving. I was recently cleaning and organizing my closet and some papers and drawers when I found this note. Originally, I thought it was just some little note that I had written one of my "best friends" in middle school, but when I opened it up, I found that it was much, much more. If you have read my most recent entries on my Contemplations page, then you know that I am currently undergoing a crisis. Well, the note was actually one I had written to him last year!! So, means I had been writing about him on Contemplations, I thought it juicy to share with you all. Names bleeped out of course! Much love! June 24, 2001
Dear "Him,"
I know that we really haven't talked much before this year, and that one fun week doesn't make us the best of friends. But, I do enjoy spending time with you guys. I know we always say we'll keep in touch after swimming is over, but this year, I really mean it. I want to stay friends with you and your brother. Truthfully, you two are the only ones that I still have respect for anymore. Everyone else I know smokes, does drugs, drinks, has sex (promiscuity:) and goes to wild parties and clubs. You guys are the only ones who don't make me feel stupid or inexperienced because I haven't done any of that. I mean, as much as I would love to boast about how hammered I got friday night, unfortunately, I have some morals. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm glad that I found someone that I can finally relate to.
Okay, now for the real reason that I'm actually writing this. Hmmm...this is hard to say. Okay, my purpose in writing this letter is not to boost your ego, but to give an explanation. Confused? You should be-haha! Just joking! We've been spending a lot of time together this week ("the swim cliche") and I want to say that I really enjoy the time and the conversations that we've had (I could lecture on about the Holocaust all day-FYI: The major concentration/death camps were Auschwitz-Berkenau, Treblinka, Majdanek, and Malthausen.:)
Sincerely,
Me
I would like to add a slight disclosure. This letter was written almost exactly a year ago, and a lot has happened in a year. So, if you know me, don't hold it against me that I've let some of my morals crumble and have done some of the things that I said I haven't.
Also, the thing about the Holocaust was an inside joke between us. Last summer, he came with me up to Havre de Grace to a used book store. And on the drive back, we were talking about intellectual points of interest and he caught me offguard with a question, so I guess I decided to take the liberty of answering him in this letter. |
