Dear You 2.0

[lovesonia]

sorry to be using this thread so much again but... more dear yous are needing to be written!

Dear You,

Wow. Just... wow. Totally not what I expected to happen. I really didn't think you liked me. Like, at all. Yet we talked for... how long?? 6 hours altogether? I think? That was crazy. I look forward to talking to you again soon.

Dear You,

I've been watching the snow fall outside all night and wish you were here. Apparently the locals were right, saying there's always a storm at the end of March. First rain of spring and now there's a good inch or two of snow outside. Craziness!

Je t'aime.
-Nikki

Dear You,

You know what's the most discouraging thing possible to give me for my birthday? A card that reads "Sometimes life can be all sunshine and rainbows" on the front, and then "and sometimes it can just be a steaming pile of crap" on the inside.

Um...happy birthday to me?

I guess, though, this still fits with my sentiments on people...

Dear You,

I am DONE with professional communication. DONE. Finished. I've TRIED for FOUR f****** YEARS to communicate professionally with you about dates and times. FOUR YEARS. It is NOT too much to expect a change. I'm glad you're "aware" that this is your issue, but buddy! Awareness only goes so damn far. YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO ME. YOU AGREED TO BE ON MY COMMITTEE. THIS IS YOUR JOB. I AM IMPORTANT -- I AM YOUR JOB. I refuse to feel bad about reminding you of that.

Professionalism has done me absolutely no good thus far.

It's OVER.

Your student.

[starlooker]

Dear You,

My feelings were really hurt. Not that I expected you to be jumping for joy. I know it's hard when other people are getting fieldwork sites and you aren't. I really do. I've been there, you know? But still. I was dreading telling you about it and it was worse than I thought it would be. It's one thing not to be able to say, "I'm happy for you" and get off the phone or change the topic. It's another thing to be all sarcastic, tell me that the only reason I got it was that I had my advisor recommend me (which is BULLSHIT), and continually make sarcastic, "Well, that's just great." comments. What the f*** kind of friend are you, anyways?

So I replied once, "Yes, actually, it is great." Most people at that point would apologize for being, well, pricks but you just don't quit.

We're going to have a talk about this. That was f****** ridiculous.

Whatever.

Your cohortmate.

[Gravity Defier]

Dearest you,
Thank you. In my most sincere state of being, to the point of being uncomfortable, I thank you for everything. I know that it was stressful for you, and a lot of pressure, and time-consuming, and in the way for what your normal routine is, and all that jazz...and I know what a burden that can be. But I loved your city, and I loved the time I spent here. And I'll miss you. Achingly so, at first, until it becomes a dull ache that I can't quite place. I love you.

Goodbye love, goodbye love.

-Alea

Err...

Dear you 2.0,
I left it up there because it was true for this morning/last night. I'll have something different to say/think/feel, though before I leave.

Dear You,

I dreamed that a bunch of you were going to be in the Dakota area. Why must you all be so East Coast?

Pwebber

[Gravity Defier]

Dear you,
I was in Fargo twice, which is one visit more than a sane person who doesn't have to live there would do. You should go to Chicago in July.

[Virlomi]

Dear You,

Hey, did you get in ok? I was worried about you all of yesterday. I miss you. I had such a beautiful time introducing you to my city, and just being with you again. I'm so grateful that you went through all of the time and expense and hassle of coming out, it was so lovely just being near you. Let me know you got back ok.

Lovith youith,

Dear you two,

I'm so sure you gals are actually a lesbian couple it's not even funny.

[Gravity Defier]

Dear you,
Should we come out now, or wait until it's even more glaringly obvious?

Your secret lesbian lover.

[Rei]

Dear you,

For the love of paper! Please stop leaving the iron on right by my books! I've asked you several times already and yet I come back and so often there it is: heat-source radiating onto glue-bound paper. So please, please, please learn to unplug the silly thing!

~your room-mate

[Miss Abbie]

Dear you,

That made me so happy.

I miss you and your Britishisms.

-me

Dear you,

Whenever I see that, I think of the Dolls, which I know is not at all what you are getting at with it. Tragic. Somehow it makes me feel more anchored, that it's there, though. I mean, otherwise, I more or less float, with these loose little connections and memories of connections that I miss and don't miss at the same time. So I guess what I mean to say is thank you for being yourself and thank you for having that and all but mostly thank you for ignoring me--I know I'm being weird.

-me

[Virlomi]

Dear You,

But that would sort of put a wrench in your whole "womaned scorned" theory. You can't have it both ways...

[powerfulcheese04]

Dear you,

Why didn't you say you couldn't work with him when we asked you directly who you couldn't work with? Now this is a huge mess!

--Kim

Dear you,

Thank you for being really understanding about my decision. I do want to redirect the way that this works, and I'm glad you're on board. I think next year will be awesome.

Love,
your EP

Dear MPAA,

I feel so bad for distributing more copies of 300 than I can count during school today. I like the feeling.

[Rei]

Dear you,

What on earth is your standard for lowering the flag to half-mast? I swear you do it at random! One day it's at full-mast, then the next it's at half and for no apparent reason! *smacks upside the head*

~me

[Virlomi]

Dear you,

I have never felt the need to bother taking the time to put 's in my text messages. I always feel like people can figure it out. Until today, when you wrote me one for the first time. I'm not sure what it means exactly that I felt compelled to go through the effort of putting them in for you, but I know it means something. This is gonna be interesting. And just to say, it couldn't have started at a better time. The messages from you today deleted the ones from him in my message history. That's got to mean something too, right? Well... who knows, here goes. Here goes.

Dear you,
What makes you so vehement about a piece of cloth? How does it do ANYTHING to you? Please stop bugging us. Please.

[Young Val]

dear you,


you know, i've got this manuscript sitting on my desk. it's been there for over a month. i'm only on page 158.

i can't finish it.

i mean, i can't.

every week or so, i read a chapter. 20 pages here. 20 pages there. until i get to a line or a paragraph or a page that is all about you and me and us and then i put it down, put it away, stand up, go cry in the bathroom and come back to my desk to do something, anything, else.

it's a GOOD book. the author is talented, the writing is lovely, there are some flaws, but this is her debut, it's to be expected. we'll fix them. she's a client already. what i mean is, we'll fix them if i ever get around to finishing the goddamn book.

my bosses keep asking after it. i tell fib after fib to get them off my back.


it hurts. i can't finish it. i NEED to finish it. and it makes me think about you more than i already do.

i just wanted to let you know. that you're still in everything for me.

love,
Kel

[Miss Abbie]

Dear you,

No, she does not make her personal conclusions relevant to others. I was bored, annoyed by her nauseatingly mystical, pretentious, narcissistic essay. I am wholly unconvinced of anything she mentioned in this piece of recycling bin decoration, save that she was an awful writer in middle school. Writing happens in the head and hands, with the exception of cheerleaders, who do, in fact, use their arms, legs, and fellow cheerleaders to spell words, and somehow I doubt that is what she was doing while running from her paranoid delutions of assassins waiting around each corner.

Disgustedly,
me

[Jebus]

Dear You,

not at all my dear, it makes perfect sense. Heart-broken, you must have sworn off men, knowing that all other future prospects would forever fall short in comparison to me.

[Young Val]

dear you,

for the win!

[Young Val]

dear you,

i finished the manuscript. yes. that one. i just finished it.

it hurts so much i can't even cry anymore.

i miss you.

love,
Kel

Dear you,
Thats definitely going to be the last time I tell anyone anything.

Me.

[shadow-petra]

Dear you,

Work harder. open up your eyes, you live in America. it's a melting pot, there's more you need to know. Your upset, I know and I'm sorry, but if you're not so close-minded, maybe you would've been accepted for the exchange trip. You were the one who wanted me to do this with you, so stop blaming me.

-me

[steph]

Dear you,

I so want to come down there and hug you right now. Reading your thoughts lately has made my heart just want to make yours feel better. I love you, even though I have never had the opportunity to hug you. Maybe someday, since you don't live to far from some of my family!

Love,
Steph

[Rei]

Dear You,

I hope I've been listening correctly, because after tomorrow it'll be too late to change anything. I'm certain that it is right, but I'll need you pulling me from the front and someone pushing me forward from behind because nothing in me feels ready or... I'm not sure what. Deserving? Comfortable? Life has just gone crazy and I need You to sort it out. I'm trusting you to have written the script and I'll just do my best to follow the blocking as well as I can.

~nervously, yet willingly yours, me

Dear you,
You don't own him. Get over yourself.

Dear you,
You're right. WE own him. And we are the majority. So stay out unless you can behave.

[Gravity Defier]

Dear you,
I picked up the book for Penelope tonight while I was playing at B&N because I have this funny feeling the movie won't be here for quite a while, if ever. Not sure why I felt that was important enough to post about...but it felt like an okay enough thing to do considering I'd have no clue what it was if not for you.

-Alea

Dear you,
If that was to me, which it obviously may not be, then just that alone makes me feel 1000 times better.

Love,
Alea

Dear you,
I'm disappointed in you. Not that you care, just thought I'd throw it out there.

Dear you,

It was for you.

Dear General you,

This is why I don't take naps:

I was real tired from sunrise service the this morning, so about 5 pm I decided to log off of the computer and take about an hours worth of nap.

I fell a asleep and dreamt about body-hopping from pwebber to pwebber.

[Eaquae Legit]

Dear You,

I really admire the way you turn an insult. It warms my heart.
