  • Today I had planned to tell Mystery Girl once and for all how deeply I love her. She had promised me one hour of her time tonight but, alas, her parents are going out of town and they need her to watch her younger sister for the weekend. I’ve been anticipating this sacred hour all week and suddenly I must wait possibly another. Oh I swear I’ll go mad!


    However, the bulk of what I wanted to tell her has been put in written form, a thorough, four-page letter I was going to give her. Please think me not a coward for “passing a note” but I wanted to make absolutely clear my feelings for her. I’ve had several close friends read it and they agree it does the job.


    I think, therefore, that I will leave the letter in her care tonight for her to read at her own leisure. Then, when I finally have one hour of her time, we have something to discuss.


    Please, I ask of of you, remember me in your prayers. I have fear of few things in life, but it is times like these that tests even the most tempered courage.


    To satiate your curiosity perhaps some day I will post the contents of the letter. We’ll see how well things go first.

  • I think letters are awesome-you can put everything you want to say, how you want to say it, and know it won’t get messed up with your nerves!  And then you can’t forget anything either!  I don’t know who this Mystery Girl is, but if your feelings are returned the way you hope, it will be an aweome relationship for you.  i will be thinking about you this weekend!  good luck!

  • I wish you all the luck in the world. You’ll be in my prayers.
    Also, notes are not stupid. They’re what made me realize my writing ability originally, and still the best way I have to commit my feelings to people, as well as communicate. Guess that’s why I’m a print journalist… Matters of the heart are sometimes best left to a letter form as well, because like print media, it doesn’t force itself on you, but gives you time to review it when you want to and read the message more than once.
    On a side note, I didn’t know you knew anything about the Ender Wiggin series, including the Shadow series… I take from your comment, you at least know something about the series. Or am I reading too deep into that? Have a great week, and I’ll talk at ya later.

  • I wish you all the best, Jake!

  • i love you, jake. good luck.
