"the piano’s this melancholy soundtrack to her smile..."

It's been an interesting week for me and it's only Wednesday. I'm not sure how I feel about that.
I passed a test I really didn't think I was going to pass. I basically got and turned down a job that I've thought I wanted for years. I cut off all my hair last night...or rather, early this morning when I should've been sleeping. I realized that not only have I lost contact with most of my closest friends, but there are a couple that I really don't think I am going to get back. I found out the infomercial for the sham-wow is a fraud! I know. Click on that for evidence. I guess that's all part of life, right? It doesn't make it any less disheartening. Oh, and Mom, just to up-to-date you on the infomercial since you had no idea what I was talking about...

"I'm writing again, these letters to you...on much, I know..."

Dear Aloha Shave Ice Place located by the Purple Turtle,

You make the best Shave Ice snow cones since Hawaii. Thank you, thank you. (minus the blue raspberry, you might wanna tone that one down). I even like ice cream in the bottom of my snow cone, which sounded gross to me at first. It is most delicious. I have restored faith that the amazingness of Hawaii can in fact be found in some little things in this place I reside for now and my summer is uplifted having found you. Please never leave me.

Tastefully yours,
your number one fan




Dear Nightmares,
Please stop. I hate your guts and this morning I woke up crying because I thought Michelangelo was dead. I am sick of your nonsense and I will have no more of it.
Stop toying with my emotions and get out of town already. Nobody likes you.
Good Riddance,
Your sleepless enemy


Dear Bishop,
Thank you for giving me a calling today. I am kind of nervous, because I've only ever taught sunbeams and they are way less scary than big people, but I will try my best.
Sincerely,
New Calling-er



Dear Mom and Dad,
No thank you for not showing up to watch the movie in the movie room. We saved it for you anyway, so there is no getting out of it. Plus I have junior mints and popcorn, courtesy of your last visit. Plus you could go straight over to seeing baby Nathan from my place. Plus, you love that movie and we got it to watch with you! Plus I'm awesome and I know you secretly love hanging out with me.
Disappointed until further notice,
your loving daughter

"WAIT! oh yes, wait a minute Mr. Postman. Waiiiiiit Mr. Postman..."

Dear UPS Man,

Thank you for delivering a brand new lappytop to me for no apparent reason, and then writing down my name as "KMONG" on the proof of signature receipt you can look up online, so that if the real owner tried to contact me, they would be looking for an Asian. Sorry if you lost your job.
Pleasantly Confused,
KMONG

Dear Neighbor girl with the amazing last name of Stouffels,
Thank you for not living where the box said you lived and never coming to get your laptop and finally re-ordering with overnight shipping so that by the time I got in contact with Dell, you already had your new purchase.
Curiously Amused,
your friendly neighbor

Dear Dell Customer Service,
Thank you for responding to my email regarding the laptop I received in error. It was kind of rude of you to not really read my letter and respond with a message about some user manual or another, but after two tries I am now giving up. Thanks for the new Lappytop.
Gratefully Yours,
shiny new laptop owner
