 | 12:46 pm - A Letter to a Superior Classmate
__________,
I will finish the editorial as best I can with the resources and experience I have. It will not be finished until tonight, but I will e-mail to to you no later than 8:00 pm. I apologize for being so emotional and having outbursts. As embarrassing as they may be, they are the result of the issues I have going on both in- and outside of school, including my mother's condition. I simply cannot handle the stress of taking on any more projects for which I have not volunteered myself, yet I feel the need to accept your requests of me because I am terrified of being a disappointment. There is too much on my plate. At this time, I am close to having a mental breakdown worthy of being hospitalized over. After this semester, I will be resigning from my position on the SagaWind staff. I regret that I will not be following through with my duties, but I think this course of action will be the most beneficial for both parties. Thank you, __________ P.S.: I will also re-send the editorial cartoon, since the file seems to be corrupted.

To the one I dreamed about last night,
I'm ready. I'm waiting. I've been waiting for so long now. So come on, and do what you need to do. Don't leave this way.

dear self,
this is magical.. I typed out the letter the day before, while waiting for mods to approve, the day after i receive a comment from Louise, my lecturer.. i was amazed at first, and was like D: how do she know what i was thinking?
this makes me sure that the anon from before is her!! i am so happy!! her comments for me makes my day!! i am so excited now.. hmm, should i tell her what i am thinking? that i am grateful that her comment makes my day? or that her comments gives me energy? if i decide to tell her, will i be able to do so? i feel shy by just thinking of it...
love,
azu

 | 09:05 am - Damn my yoyo heart
Ty,
We met a month or two ago, at the bar where you work. You were off-duty and completely drunk. We had a conversation consisting of "you're gorgeous", "you're drunk" repeated ad infinitem.
Last Tuesday, I went back to the bar where you work. Asked one of your coworkers where you were. you were on your way in, because this is your hobby as well as your place of work. When you came in, the first thing I said to you was "We need to talk. I'm pregnant." Then I cracked up, and once I'd reassured you that it wasn't true, you started laughing too.
You bought me drinks, and we talked for three hours. We talked about Disney films, and suicide attempts. We both live with our grandparents. I told you about nanowrimo. We talked about everything. Your friends told me that you were lovely, but not the brightest bulb in the box. I didn't see that about you.
You kept telling me that I'm gorgeous. I teased you about drinking too much, and forgetting me. You didn't remember me from the last time we met at all, but you said you didn't mind, because you were enjoying getting to know me now.
The expression on your face told me that that was true. You barely took your eyes off me.
You leant me your jacket when I was cold. When I left, you walked me to the bus stop, and insisted I wear your jacket. You waited with me, and, because I was still cold, you reached out and hugged me. You smelt absolutely delicious. I didn't hug you back, because I was carrying heavy bags.
When the bus came, I gave the jacket back. You tried to convince me to keep it, and if I had, maybe things would have been different. Maybe not though, because I doubt that such a little thing would really have changed anything.
On Friday, I saw you again. You were working, so for once, I was sober and you were drunk. You didn't pay me any attention that time. You weren't unfriendly, and you were happy to be hugged and kissed on the cheek (I am a friendly drunk), but you didn't look at me like you had. You looked at me like I was just anyone.
I went in again on Sunday, when I didn't expect you to be there. You were though, working again. Again, you were distant, more so. You didn't actively ignore me - you were happy to serve me, when I caught your attention, and you answered my questions - but you stayed away from me. Even when we were involved in the same conversation, you stood on the other side of the other person, as far away as possible from me while still talking. You wouldn't even come near me to pick up the empty glasses.
I asked you how much of me you remembered. I said I knew you remembered Friday, because you'd been sober then, but I hoped you'd try to forget, because I'm a bad drunk. I asked how much you remembered of Tuesday. You didn't remember much of it at all. You remembered that I'd been there,and almost got my name right, but nothing else.
I tried to make a joke out of it. I pointed out that, since I remembered, I knew more about you than you did about me. You asked me what I knew, while already halfway back across the bar.
I chickened out. I wasn't going to bring up the comparative suicide attempts, or your living arrangements, or the way you smell, or that you're the perfect height to hug me (6'4 to my 5'5 and a half), or anything else. That we'd talked about me seeing two people drink themselves to death, for instance. I came out with the lamest observation ever - that you like Disney films. But it's still better than anything else I could have said.
You forgot me. You drank me away.
I think you could have been something I'd be good at.
You're an idiot.

I wish you didn't just pop into my head out of nowhere every so often.
I hate missing you. I don't even want to. I don't even think I like you. But sometimes you come back out of nowhere, and I wish it was you and not just memories of how fun you were. I know I'll never give more than a pleasant howdy again, so how about your shadow leaves as thoroughly as you did?
Thanks.

 | 07:53 pm - Dry eyes
I have a question for ya'll! Since the end of September I have been experiencing some dryness around my eyes. The skin is raw and peeling and even just water hurts. I've tried using oil and hydricortizone cream and it seems to help a little but the dryness always comes back. I'm almost ready to go to the doctor with this but want to give a few natural remedies a try first. My skin doesn't respond well to chemicals and I really don't want to pay the outrageous visit fee for my doctor to see me for 5 minutes and just prescribe a prescription dose of hydricortizone cream. So any suggestions? I just tried some cucumber tonight and the skin around my eyes is feeling pretty good but who knows what it will be like in the morning? Oh just as a side note I've tried Vitamin E as well as Olive oil. The skin around my eyes really didn't like the E and the olive only worked so-so.

 | 05:26 pm - Face wash recommendation for those with sensitive skin.
I had been using Aveda's acne face wash, for about 9 months. It worked great but didn't want to dish out the money for the refills every month. Whole Foods sells a brand called Collective Wellbeing ($12), and I decided to check out the Oatmeal & Raspberry cleansing paste a week ago. This is the best face wash I've ever used. It smells nice, cleanses really well, and doesn't have acne medicine in it. I have eczema so I've always been a fan of oats in the bath & the occasional face mask. For my budget, I'm super happy with it. So far it's keeping my skin clean, clear, and more moisturized. I still use a small amount of EveryDay Shea lotion on the super dry areas of my face, but overall it does not dry out my skin.

Dear Brown-Eyed Boy,
Yes, I had you teach me how to tie a tie to be flirty.
But I wasn't counting on you standing behind me and having your knuckles brush against my nipples half a dozen times.
How serendipitous!
Love,
Horny ole me

I wrote this email and it has been sitting in my drafts folder for a while, along with about three others. It was too hurtful to send. I still care deeply about the person I was intending to send it to and go back and forth between sending this and sending one completely, totally different. But I'm just too hurt to do anything. ( I'm sure this belongs under a cut. )

Dear Macy's-
Please hire me. I feel like I'm trapped in a hard place without a steady income. I know I'm not your regular girl or really suited for ultimate retail but I work hard, always am on time, have extraordinary manners, and am friendly. I just need a part time job to pay the bills.

Dear tutor
i need help. i know you dont know this at the moment. i need your help so bad. i am drowning and no body knows. well the doctor knows. but the doctor cant help me, he can only advise me and there is nothing he can do if i dont follow his advice. i probably should have followed your advice in the first place when i told you i wanted to leave and you said discuss it with the councelling service. but i didnt. i was too afraid. the doctor advised me to go to the councelling service too after i told him about my problem, but i still havent gone.
i know you cant help me as all you know is that i have a "family problem" and i didnt elaborate on that. i wish you had made me tell you what was wrong. but you didnt. i dont hav a family problem. i am depressed and hav an ed and i si. so there u hav it.
i only told the doctor about the depression. i wish i could tell you wot was wrong. then you could actually advise me on wot on earth im supposed to do about my course, and sort out whether i can suspend it and come back next year. but i know i wont tell you. you have only met me once. you probably hav forgotton all about me. i wonder wot you would do if you actually knew wot was wrong. then again, im sure you really dont care.
i wish someone knew. i wish that someone was you.

Dear M.:
You'll never know how wonderful it was to hear you call me your best friend. I haven't had one in so long, and it means so incredibly much to me... I love you so much. You're my best friend, too.
Dear other M.:
I never told you, and I really should've... when we were younger, and I was crying at our graduation, and all my friends didn't notice or thought crying was wimpy, you came over and hugged me. You held me as I sobbed into your shoulder, for at least six full minutes. I remember everyone around us giving us funny looks, since you didn't really fit in with us... but that moment made me so thankful to know you. And then this year, you slow danced with me... and it didn't mean anything romantic, just that you and I are good friends who make each other happy. Thank you for everything.
I really should send these.

 | 12:30 pm - Two questions
1. So many people rave about the Desert Essence Natural Tea Tree Oil Facial Cleansing pads, but I don't think my skin likes them. :( Any insight/tips?
2. Why do people say dairy is bad for the skin? Is there evidence for this? I worry that if I cut it out, even if my skin clears up a bit, my bones will resent me later on...
Thanks!

 | 06:47 pm - Moisturizer
I've been trying to switch to only natural bath products. So far, I've gone no-poo (baking soda & ACV), have continued using Tom's of Maine toothpaste, and have gotten adjusted to using Tom's of Maine deodorant.
However, my face is and has always been a huge problem.
I tried OCM, but it made my face break out like crazy. I tried getting off the topical prescription medication I have, but my face looked awful.
Right now I'm using Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap at night, prescription cream overnight, and Aveeno natural moisturizing bar in the morning.
My question is: What kind of moisturizer do you guys recommend? I tried using a bit of OCM oil, but it didn't work. All the Burt's Bees stuff at my Walmart costs upwards of 15 dollars. I'm definitely not willing to pay more than 10 dollars for moisturizer. Have any of you tried pure Vitamin E? Before I started trying to go natural, I was using Dove moisturizer, and that worked wonderfully.
This is unrelated: I mentioned Tom's of Maine deodorant. This stuff is wonderful. I've been on prescription antiperspirant for a while, so I was really wary about going off it in favour of a deodorant. I think that since my body isn't having to deal with toxic aluminum, I'm not sweating as much. It's wonderful. My dad even uses it now, and he's always had excessive sweating. Highly recommend it!

 | 05:17 pm - Tinnea issues.
Hi there,
I recently found a spot of ringworm on my leg (maybe due to a razor that I left in the shower.) I have been to the doctor and was prescribed prescription strength antifungal cream that I am using. However, I'm also wondering if other ongoing issues that I have been having with my skin, such as severe seborrheic dermatitis, could be tied to an overabundance or imbalance of skin yeast. I'm handwashing like lady MacBeth and using medicated dandruff shampoo as shower gel on top of using what the doctor recommended, as well as hitting the B-complex pretty hard. Is there anything else I can do do to perhaps get things back into balance as far as my skin is concerned?
And do I have to give up coffee and peanut butter? Some of the sites about candida are recommending this, and those are pretty much staples for me. D:

Dear Really Awesome and Talented Varsity Football Captain and Musician,
I really like you...like...A LOT. I know myself a lot better than I used to and I know that I give my heart too easily...to freely. But I'm taking matters into my own hands, being the big girl I know I am and I'm going to make this work. I like that you want to take things slow...that we aren't officially together...but at the same time we're no longer single. I like that you can't wait to give me a hug and cuddle with me on Wednesday when we see each other and that we talk for HOURS everyday. You're a sweet guy...basically everything a girl could ask for...just...without the super sexy model looks. You're cute sweetheart...but on a scale of 1-10...you're only about a 6. Anyway...I just wanted to let you know that I'm so glad we met...that you don't mind my quirkiness, that you love the way I write and that you love my originality. You're an amazing person...and I just ask that...if I surrender to you my beaten, battered, and partially healed heart...you'll take extra good care of it. See you soon!!!
<3,
Me

Dear Travis,
you are one of my best friends, i call you my brother, and i love you to death. i know you hate kyle, and i know you get mad that we talk because you care and you dont want to see me hurt but are you 100% positive its not just because you hate kyle? i mean, there are plenty of things i dont like but i put up with because of you. i know i told you i just wrote i had a boyfriend on myspace so pervs would back up, but i lied to you. me and kyle have been together for a month maybe. i feel bad about it all, but i really see myself with kyle for along time, hes been here so long, and weve been so close, now that we are together, everything is falling into place. i dont expect you to understand for the simple fact that you dont know what hes done for me, and how good he treats me, id tell you but you get that look on your face. i just dont know what to tell you kiddo, i love him.
if we ever get married, i hope you come to my wedding, for me.
love forever,
your little sister Jess.

[Insert Name Here],
You don't realise how much that kiss meant to me, how much that whole night meant to me.
How long i have wanted that, how long i have needed it to feel okay.
It was so different, i felt so comfortable. Nobody really understands how much i can fall in love with comfortable.
Never on edge or insecure about how i am, it's never been like that and that night just put into perspective what things could be like.
I'm not even saying with you, but how things could be if i just let go for once. I was so happy.
I still am so happy, i actually still can't believe this is happening, with you of all people.
But i just wish that you would decide and give me some clarity.
One minute you are treating me as a new found friend and telling me you don't want a relationship.
The next minute you are telling me you want me to come round and snuggle up in bed with you.
I just don't get it.
It's me, over-reacting again, thinking too much into things.
I should just LET GO like i did that night.
But it's grating on me, filling my head so much i can't concentrate.
Last night you text me frustrated that i wasn't there, yet when i text back you didn't.
Gahhhh, what is going on?
Relieve me.
