Dear You

This is for you.
For all the things we'll miss doing with you.
For all the things you'll be glad you missed.
For updates on summer weather.
Crazy adventures.
And silly nonsense.

This is for you to be able to laugh at my lack of blogging skills.
My poor grammar.
And my love of sentence fragments.
To listen to sad sad songs and happy little tunes with me.
And to keep you updated on all the books I'm reading on my own now.

Have fun in the land of trees and fog.
Miss us sometimes.
But not every moment.
And find a fossil or two for me.

Lots of love.
Me.

  1. This is for you.
    For all the things I'm still doing with you, mentally.
    For all the things I think I just as soon NOT miss.
    For all the things I'll miss doing with you.
    For cruel updates on the weather, while I shrink up here like Derick Jeter's nutsack. It's fucking 60 and that's supposed to be warm. Fucking idiots.
    Crazy adventures...of course.
    And silly nonsense--I think we'd have that going for us regardless of our location on Google Maps.

    This is for you to be able to put my 'blogging skills' to shame...and we shouldn't refer to it as a blog, because that makes it sound like some sort of used prophylactic....which it more or less is.
    My poor spelling!
    And MY love of sentences. In fragments. Like all the fossils I didn't find.
    To listen to...well, the radio out here is kind of like months/years behind home...so I guess I'll NEED that.
    And to keep you updated on the books that I probably won't ever finish. =)

    Have fun in the land of COMPLETELY NORMAL PEOPLE, because all things here are ball-sucking material. Example: Instead of getting flipped off the other day, some kid gave us a thumbs down...I almost didn't know what that meant. Is that a real thing anymore? I thought it was more of an antiquated expression than a gesture. Land of sunshine and sunburns, land of all things good and mostly manageable bad things.
    I'll miss you whenever I feel like it--you can't tell me what to do.
    And I'll tell you I'll find fossils for you, but mostly I'll cry when I think about it and then change my mind and go try to get through Desolation Angels instead.

    More than lots of love,
    Me.
