Blast From the Past #5

Sept. 28, 1993

Dear K,

How's it goin? Buenos Dias? Como esta? Muy Bien. I learned that in Spanish. We won our first game. We won 20-6 against Interlake. We play Newport next. There is going to be a retreat Oct. 8-10 at Lazy F! I'll send you a copy. Come if you can. Cale will be there. My picture is wierd. The guy said here look this way, and my eyes are totally off. I'm getting new songs for my drums: Jeremy, Would, Stairway to Heaven, D'ver Maker, and For Whom the Bell Tolls. Sorry so short!

Love,
J

P.S. Don't care for looks. I wanna have control. I want a perfect body. I want a perfect soul. I want you to notice when I'm not around. So fuckin special. I wish I were special, but I'm a creep. I'm a riddle. What the hell am I doin here. I don't belong here.

Blast from the Past #4

As promised, this is a letter from my brother during his incarceration. It's dated 5/15/03. I sent him a lot of mail so that he would have something to look forward to. Mostly they were silly cards. He was transferred frequently so I always heard about the new place. I suppose crowding in prisons will do this to some.



Dear folks,

How is it going for you folks? I am doing well. I no longer have a job, and am waiting to get into school. This place is different from any other institution. We don't have movement every hour like every other place. We have to share our gym and yard. So it makes it difficult to get into a routine. So I found myself playing a lot of cards and watching some pretty dumb TV shows. My cellie doesn't shower and he doesn't ever leave the room. He follows me like a lost puppy dog. It gets pretty bothersome. I have learned to have patience. Without those I would be in all sorts of trouble. I am on a softball team. The league starts in a couple of weeks. The living conditions are alot different from the movie. There are no open barred cells. Those are in the K units. Here we have a solid door with keys it seems pretty laid back. I have sent you some visiting forms you must fill them out and return them for an approval before you can visit. If you choose to visit be prepared to get searched. I don't have a big selection of classes to choose from so I take what I can get sorry I haven't wrote in awhile. I am just getting settled I miss you guys, and enjoy the cards.

Love you,

M

Blast from the Past #3

I met Susan while in D.C. This was written April 14th, 1998. I had forgotten about the scholarship and the fact that I loved calculus. Hmm....

K,

Waz up? Sorry I took I while to write back. It was because I was moving and I just wanted to wait so you could get my new address. I didn't move that far from my old house. My parents just wanted a smaller house since it would only be the two of them after I go to college. I didn't get accepted into UCLA so I guess I'm going to UC San Diego. That's good though because I'll be sort of near my boyfriend. He's going to San Diego State. So you had a cheerleading scholarship, that's so cool! That must mean you're like a psycho good cheerleader. I wanted to try out for cheer my senior year, but I didn't. I played volleyball instead. I wish I would've tried out though. It was so funny because everyone thought I was a cheerleader in D.C. I don't know why. So you're taking analytical calculus. That sucks! I'm in calculus now and I'm doing bad, well I'm doing better that I was at the beginning of the year. I was failing first quarter. I absolutely hate calculus! I'm gonna die in college. I thought it over, and decided that I'm gonna still try to go into medicine. That made my mom really happy. Anyways, I saw "Wild Things" and it was such a good movie. I think I saw it the day it came out. I saw "Grease" in the theatre and I really want to see "City of Angels." I love Nicolas Cage! This girl was telling me that she cried more in that than in "Titanic." I only got teary-eyed in "Titanic" so maybe I'll cry in "City of Angels". I just got off my spring break. I didn't do much but pack, sleep and I went to Disneyland. I hadn't been to D-land for like two years. It was so much fun! I mad my boyfriend, Scott, buy me Minnie Mouse ears. They're so cute. I was wearing them around all day like a real tourist. Being the procrastinator that I am, I ordered my senior pictures just a few weeks ago. They should be done like some time next week. I'll be sure to sen you one. Do you watch Dawson's Creek? You're probably too mature for the show, but I totally love it. I have to admit it is sometimes gay, but I still watch. I watch Buffy too. I still watch 90210, I like Ally McBeal. The show Dharma & Greg is funny too but it's on the same time as 90210. You remind me of Dharma for some reason. I think it's your hair. As you can see I watch too much TV. Well, I'm going now. I hope you're not stressed out with school or anything. Bye!

Blast from the Past #2

This letter was postmarked June 14, 1993. I had just graduated the 8th grade! The shaving reference was due to the world's worst perm ever! See this posting if you're lost.

K,

Hi schools fine. Congrads you've graduated! How was the dance? Meet any cute guys? Why did you shave the back of your head? Is it a new fashion faze or something but thats ok if you did. I guess it doesn't matter if Josh is cute or hot because he's not going; his parents decided it was to inconvenient (wow thats a doozy!) Bring your swiming suit to camp and I'll tell you if you look good in it or not, but ya probably do don't worry. I don't have a fax but at camp brin a camera and take a picture of my butt. Why not, I don't care. Did you have any cavities in the dentist? Last check up I didn't have one. WOW I'm a stud!
Screw your friend's boyfriends. I am actually equal to five guys! (strength and all) Send me a school picture of yourself so I can marvel at your hair. (Did you have it shaved or not then?) I already comitted suicide but I'm still alive so I'll read ya soon!

Love,
DB

P.S. What is 5 * 12 / the square root of seven to the fifth power. There is a nice shiny nickel in for it!!

P.P.S. You owe me $10! Visa is accepted!

Blast from the Past #1

Awhile ago I was cleaning out my hope chest and came across a bunch of letters I saved from high school. (This was obviously before e-mail BUT still in the 90's! I'm not THAT old!) I've decided to post one letter a week. The sender will remain annoymous and I shall not edit the letter in any way. Just remember, I was in high school, I was crazy, and I lived on a rural postal route. That said here is the first of many.

Feb. 21 1995
A letter from DB talking about my move from Olympia (pop. over 100,000) to Prosser (pop. rural). Age: 16


K,

Hey there little mama. So among the hicks are you. HA! HA! We'll we certainly do have alot in common now my hair was copper red now its more of a strawberry blonde. I don't skate but I'm a grunger. My hair covers my eyes but by the time I see you it'll be up to my chin (maybe). That be cool for you to come over here. If you do get into Yakima call me at XXX-XXXX and we can go do something! I'd come see you if I went to Prosser but I seriously doubt I could get over there. But maybe someday. Shit maybe I forgets where Prosser was. I was thinking by Pasco but Duh. Well I'm just jammin' to Jimi (he's my God.) Yea.
I'm sure you'll meet some freaks or friends sometime. No Hicks now. I also dislike hicks but as long as they're fucking their horse and not me or my mom it's ok! Well I better go write back por favor.

Love, DB
P.S. I'll be your friend!
