19 today, Happy Birthday!

None

Dear FutureMe, I would like to ask a lot later version of you but I don't know how long this e-mail is going to last. What the hell are you doing right now? Are you back with Nancy or are you hating yourself because you let her slip away? Are you still going into the music business or have you decided it was best to do something more lucrative. I wish you could come visit me, take me by the han...

Everything

Dear FutureMe, I guess all I have is questions- it seems so silly to offer you advice, though I think there are parts of this life right now that I hope you remember very vividly. Those purple crumbling flowers- like tissue paper- that fall from the trees on the sidewalk on the way to work, the way the wind moves through the leaves, and the leaves themselves, yellow scratchy fishes on the ...

A new beginning

It's about 9:15 PM on August 13, 2006. The ceasefire in Israel and Lebanon goes into effect in less than an hour. I'm very grateful. This is a stupid war. The way it's been going, no one can win. Even Israel can't wipe out Hezbollah without killing way more civilians than it already has. Even though there have been a lot less Israelis killed than Lebanese, I've still been so scared. You're read...

Dear FutureMe, Hey. How are you doing. I'm only going to talk about one thing here.. Sean. How is he? Are you two together? You guys broke up after a month, one week and two days. Pretty pathetic.
