I am procrastinator squared.
For me, writing letters is deadly. One, it's easily addicting. Heck, I've been writing letters back-and-forth to people for ages and I've got a shoebox full of old letters, reminding me of my innocence and stupidity and wretched phases of ethnic pride, what-have-you. It was kind of sad (and 'sad' as in 'pathetic'). I continually make friends, lose them, but keep in touch or I build friendships with people online and there's letter contact. Fine.
But then there's number two. I have a habit of being consistent for a while and then ... nothing. I can write to someone for a month, relay messages back and forth regularly, and you won't hear from me for months. And I've got no reason for it either except that I'm busy (but a normal person can find some way to fit writng a letter in their schedule) and I'm lazy.
I am god-awful, I know. It means I'm better than you but this is just a pathetic attempt to boost my burnt ego.
Yeah. I think that was it.
Jenzy, I sent you one. I assume you'll get it sometime next week or sooner. I don't know.
Oh yeah, and the HP fans (particularly of the R/Hr and H/Hr persuasion) are crazier than any shippers I know. They're vicious! The R/Hr fans are mean (some of them anyway, and their two leaders being Emerson and Marissa/Melissa/I don't know) and H/Hr are vicious in retaliation to everyone because they feel betrayed. Eh. I'd be disappointed myself and JKR did blow them down ... not a very polite way, either.
But that's neither here nor there.

I know you're a procrastinator; a bad habit that's been with you for ages. I totally relate to your second and third paragraph. Then I get to your fourth and my eyes bug out, thinking "WHAT?! She hasn't written me in AGES! What does that mean?"
Of course I realize shortly afterwards that you just finished writing to me, which means I am saved from the fallen-from-grace category of unworthy beings.
Good, hearty laugh indeed.

i tell you, though. i wrote the entire day and my fingers on my right hand are numb. ooh, the things i do for people. just kidding. ♥
if you are unworthy, then i am unworthy. i'm afraid it automatically works that way.
:P

hopefully it will arrive before i leave for nyc on sunday. if not, memphis will have my heart for a while longer with your letter as the connecting string.
actually, i'm very excited about my trip. i secretly fear the hairdressers in memphis, so the last time i had a haircut was a year ago. and while i'm too cowardly to chop all of it off, it certainly is time for a trim at least. then i'm making the rounds to all the bakeries/coffee shops that were on the recommendations lists on the foodblog websites. of course i'm counting on the major walking to burn off the gargantuan load of calorie-intake. gonna sneak a peek at nyuniversity and shop for some decent clothing, a no-go in the south.
i'll see what sets off the "ashie" bulb in my head and will get it for you. =) so be prepared for a nice little gift.

i hope you have fun 'cos that place rocks! i went there in may as a graduation present. unfortunately, the day i went it was raining which was the shits.
oh monkey. food! i didn't get to try any good desserts, although we stopped in front of this french patisserie and i really, really wanted to go in because they had pastries and chocolate-dipped strawberries and i was DYING. i'd have committed a crime just to get something.
ooh ... speaking of nyu, what college are you attending? :D
i swear to god, you are too nice to me. i don't need any gifts, trust me! heck, i still have yours; it's just sitting here and either i forget or like ... procrastinate, which makes me forget. it's craptastic (my ability to send things on time, that is).

most of the time i buy the dessert not for its taste but for its delicate appearance. hell, half of the time it ends up tasting shitty but no use wasting four dollars, ne?
college...heh. with all sorts of crap things happening i was absent for 2.5 months of school, and the whole faculty and mother think it's better if i re-do my senior year. so, i'm gonna be stuck in memphis for another year. i really don't know how i'll survive because i HATE the upcoming class and this blasted city.
but if you ask where i want to go then it's nyu. i'm gonna try early decision this year and hopefully get accepted by winter break.
pft. i know you don't need any gifts and that you still have mine. but whatever. &hearts
