Lowest Point (yet, and heaven forbid!)

Dear FutureMe, How pathetic can you be? You have no job, not even a vague prospect of getting one, no money, no "space" you can call your own, and probably, no hope of making "it". To make things worse, you only realized, within the last year or so, your true passion in life. But at 27 and thousands of miles away from the community that "might" make your dreams happen, there is little (if n...

Would it kill you to visit?

Dear FutureMe, Well, it's 2003, September, and another summer goes by without a visit. Let me jog your memory - 1999, July, Me kicking back with a beer on a blanket in the park - enter FutureMe "Hey! It's me! Man you are missing out. The future is freaky. Listen, can't stay long - space-time continuum, you understand. But, hey - why don't we meet up once a year and catch up. Don't worr...

drinking causes embarrasment

Dear FutureMe, If you forgot, let me remind you, you got really drunk this weekend, at a crappy psuedo-hip lounge bar in Wellington, you said some unfortunate things, to a big client, and you might get fired tomorrow. moral of the story, you need a girlfriend to keep you out of trouble. so by the time you get this, I want to hear about the smart funny attractive girl, who kept you from maki...

I hope Binky is well

Dear FutureMe, Well, I'm a crossroads, future-self, writing this exactly one year ago. I'm probably going to be made redundant this afternoon, and I've not got a new flatmate; so it looks like it's back to living with mum... The prospect isn't so bad, but Binky Mackenzie will fight with Ghengis Khat, so he's going to have to go live with Jayne. I'm going to miss his stupid little furry fac...

Re: I was young and foolish then, I'm old and foolish now

Hey there. What are you up to? Do you still live where you lived before, in your cute drafty bungalow? Perhaps you're pregnant again. How's that going? So the kid is almost three years old now. How amazing, isn't it? I mean, he's 11 months old as I type this, and it really flew by. I wonder what he'll be doing, what he'll be saying. He's just now getting the hang of walking, and ...

Hey

Dear FutureMe, Are you in school at Michigan State? What did you get on the GRE? Did you get an assistantship? I am really scared of the GRE. I am also worried about Becky this semester with me far away. I wish I could be there to help her study and stuff. I know we could work on that Science crap together. Are you insured, yet? Have you been to the doctor? Did they diagnose yo...

Did you do it?

Did you quit your job and move to new york to go to go back to college? If not, you better be married - that's the only excuse for missing out on such an opportunity. If so, you are probably hungry and poor, so go look in your dictionary next to the word "hungry." You'll find a $5 stashed there. Go buy a happy meal at McDonalds and stop complaining about having no money.

November is almost here

Dear FutureMe, Have you lost some weight yet? I hope so. You have battled alot in your life and still seem to find joy, so you deserve a body that can tolerate alot more. If you haven't lost weight yet, maybe this is the "wakeup call" that you needed. The voice from the past. The weight thing is one of the only issues that still hangs over me at this point.. so to speak. I have accompl...

progress

Dear FutureMe, Hi there. So, assuming you've continued to be an over-thinker and a sensitive freak, you've no doubt made some progress in some or many arenas. Most likely God + the Universe sent something really amazing your way just like you know you deserve. Do you know that yet? That you deserve to be happy? To not get so angry with yourself? To be happy with yourself just the way...
