Hey K,

I actually wrote you because I was trying to weed out friends on facebook and anyone who didn't respond within two months got erased. I have thought about over the years and wondered how you were getting along. When my mum said she saw you I thought it was a good time to see how you had been after all this time. I only erased you because of my "rule." I only want close friends stalking me on fb... :D

St. P's really fucked us all up, huh? I have actually blocked most of it from my memory because of all the weird stuff that happened and, more importantly, how things were handled by the adults... oh, well, water under the bridge now, right? The past should stay in the past and all that. I am not a believer anymore- nor am I an atheist, but I definitely go out of my way to avoid people who go to church regularly. I give up my problems to 'The Universe" and only deal with things I actually have control over. Life has been really great to me so far, so it must work... at least I'm happy.

Did you know that I dated TCS for about 5 or 6 months after I graduated from college? It was a strange relationship because he was working as a trucker (who had an incredible addiction to sex) and I was getting over a slight substance abuse problem and a very long term relationship. Oh, and his Mom had a mental breakdown at the C Mall when she found out we were dating, and he never defended me to her. Seriously, crying hysterically and falling to her knees like her world was over. I never thought I was that horrible a person, we all have problems, but what an over reaction... I wish him all the best, but I really chalk it all up to the black hole of St. P's for making us all socially awkward.

Well, I have a ton of work to do, so I best be off. Quickly in regards to your last paragraph, I got to shake Hillary's personal security guards' hand last Friday!! and I live right around the corner from "The Lady." Life in Burma is amazing. So much better than Korea. I would like to keep in touch. I have had the privilege of maintaining a lot of friends from every stage in life, and you were one of the first truly unique people I had met who WANTED to be different. You inspired me at a young age, and I still think of you when someone brings up "My So-Called life." :)

Hope this wasn't a huge over kill as a response. You know I could never hold a grudge- still can't.

Hope to hear from you soon. It is so much easier for me to get on gmail bc fb is mostly blocked by big brother here.
