Turn around Bright Eyes

every now and then i fall apart

dear jessica(wakefield),

hey remember that one time you had to bring a collection to show and tell, and yours was a collection of all things bearing your name? i thought that was cool! i have a collection like that too! well, sort of, because finding things with your name on it when your name is not that conventional to put on things is kind of hard around here. but i do have a collection of all things cat-ish:

maybe we could have been friends. i remember you like cats too! the time when you guys "rescued" misty? although if i were around i could have told you that keeping a full-grown cat, and a pregnant one at that? in the closet? might not be such a good idea. the matter of poop was never discussed, and i kind of wondered.

i wondered also if we could have been BFF. maybe not. i�m not that big of a lila fan. but i do like the perks� and maybe elizabeth would be more receptive towards being friends with the dark-skinned malaysian kid. maybe i need to really impress you and lila (and sometimes ellen), prove myself to be cool before you guys would want to BFF me. but maybe i�ll just be the friend that is cool with both of you, and seriously that is just fine.

but alas! we�ll never know.

yours sincerely,
nerryna.
