Assignment #44: Part VII

Write Yourself A Letter

Dear Carly,

Something really strange has been happening. A week ago Izaak was here and he wanted it to snow so i told him i would manifest that for him. We woke up to snow and Miguel, Alan, and Julia were here too and we all went sledding and built a snowman and everything was real nice but the problem is is that now there's 1/2 a foot of snow on the ground. I'm not sure if it's my fault and i'm definitely not sure how to stop it. I wouldn't be too upset, except i'm trying to fly home for Christmas in a day and all of the flights out of town are being canceled. It's okay, i heard something about Christmas miracles earlier and i'm sure that if Southwest doesn't get me home, the magic of Christmas will.

You'd be happy to hear that i'm getting tougher. No, no, really. REALLY. Today was 20 degrees (with wind chill!) and i went out in a pair of tights, a mini-skirt and a coat. Also, i was about ready to bum out for the next week or so, because everybody left real suddenly, but instead i've been keeping productive. Mostly. Kelly and i started writing an album composed of songs that you would expect to hear at a Bar Mitzvah. We call ourselves The Shixa Bar Mitzvahs, and so far we've got our R&B jam and we're working on our dance jam. We started tagging and today we bought all of our Christmas presents. Keeping busy has been okay, pretty okay, but maybe i'm still bummed a little. All of my friends are really good at leaving and i'm really good at missing people. That's fine, according to my tag, posi-lock non-stop 4 ever. Or at least something similar.

I can't get Biz Markie's "Just a Friend" out of my head.

Hey, i hear that San Diego is 70 degrees right now. That doesn't sound too bad, even though San Diego as a whole might. Chin up though, right? Plus, i've got some really good plans in the making. Maybe i won't say them, in case they don't work out. But maybe in case i forget, i'll say that they have to do with the 101 and summertime. Man, summertime. Gimme some of that.

Keep warm, keep happy, keep going,
Love,
143,
Carly

P.s. NOW IS ALL YOU HAVE.
