Letters from JuliaJane

To whom it may concern-

Lately all my FB status updates have been in the form of short letters. I like letters. No one gets letters anymore. We should really bring that back, ya know? But I digress. At some point my friend Bridget Gibney told me I should make my letters into a blog. She doesn't know I already have a blog. Very few people do, since I don't really use it. Since Bridget only gives me really good advice I decided to do what she told me and enter my statusi (yes, that's plural of status. like foci is plural of fucus) in blogorific form. (that's blog+terrific, not blog+horrific, btw).

So here ya go. My statusi since I started writing letters:

dear cougs- thank you kindly for not losing to san diego state. i know they're doing better this year but it still would have felt like a great embarrassment given the history of the two teams should you have lost. i take back all the rude things i may or may not have said after you lost to the likes of utah state. sincerely- julia jane

dear lit reviews- i hate you. you are the devil. you ruin my life. i can't read the silly articles b/c they are so bloomin' boring, and therefor i can't fill out the four page (yes FOUR page) worksheet assigned to me. please just write yourself and leave me out of it entirely. sincerely- juliajane

dear midterms- i would like to cordially offer my thanks for not getting completely and totally out of hand. if you could just hold it down one more week i would be over the moon about it. sincerely- juliajane

dear self- choosing the killers as your pandora station was a really good move. TK, followed by cold play, franz ferdinand, and weezer has just been a delight and makes studying for this test that much more enjoyable. Thank you self for having awesome taste in music. sincerely- juliajane

dear self- are you sure a "glee cast" pandora station was a good idea? are you really going to be able to study while you're belting "Faithfully" in your mind? guess we're about to find out. sincerely- juliajane

dear girl from class- don't be sad that I shut.u.down. smarter folks than u have tried and failed. here's a tip tho: using the author's premise as an argument when I can then successfully argue that the premise is fallacious in nature is not gonna go well for u. hugs and kisses! julia jane

dear self- in five little hours you can have a nap. in fact, if you really want to you can sleep until friday, but then you have to spend the entire day writing an ethics paper. but ya know what? you're a champ and you deserve to sleep for upwards of 18 hours, so if that's what you want then do it. just get through... this last exam and then your time is your own. buck up champ. you can do it. sincerely- juliajane

Oct 15

dear self- all you have to do today is write a paper. just one measly little paper. only 5 pages. it's nothing really. come on. just write it. please? sincerely- juliajane

dear self- remember when you were picking out yogurt flavors and you were like "i had strong feelings regarding red velvet, but i can't remember what they were, so i'm gonna buy it anyway"? that was a bad move. if you can't remember loving something, but you DO remember you felt strongly about it, that probably means... it was sick nasty and you probably shouldn't buy it. sincerely- juliajane

... And yes, me finally putting this all in a blog is really a not-so-secret way of avoiding finishing my paper.

Sincerely JuliaJane
