hi! how are you? you might not remember me but this is your cousin 'nancy' writing to you. i came up from Florida a couple of years ago. i got your address from your aunt. they came from Orlando, fl. to visit. you probably know they were down here for vacation. anyway, she suggested that you and me be pen pals. i think it's a great idea. if you do, here's my address:
please write back!
i heard you went to California. you are so lucky! what is it like? was it fun? where in California did you go? i heard you also broke your leg there. how? well, i have to go now. i hope we can be pen pals. bye!
your cousin,
Nancy
see ya!
p.s. we might come up for Christmas vacation."
there are a some awesome things about this:
- we were 10.
- i still have this.
- i can almost guarantee that i didn't write Nancy back.
- Nancy has absolutely no recollection of writing this pen pal letter. i know, because i showed it to her recently.
- was i really all that lucky to go to California and break my fucking leg?
- Nancy literally just returned from California and i can guarantee she had a better time on her trip 20 years later than i did my first time around.
- she didn't come for Christmas vacation, but she did end up moving here in 2003.
- how much fun could i have possibly had with a fucking hip cast in July on vacation in California? not that much! i promise, the 2 nights in the hospital and the surgery were my least favorite moments, as were the lame 4th of July fireworks, trust me. the jumping to the front of the line at disneyland, sea world and theme parks due to the wheelchair was kinda cool though.
- i did remember her, but i obviously didn't care because like #3 says, i can almost guarantee, i didn't write her back and,
- i'm glad we didn't write, it might've ruined our actual friendship once she moved up here.
