Time Travelled — 12 months

Yo, it's that thing you did a year ago and forgot about.

Dear FutureMe, Hey, dude. I am so totally procrastinating on prelims reading right now. I guess you've gotten through that one way or the other by now. At this point, I hope you make it, but it's not your fault if you don't; it's mine for doing this shit instead of prelims reading. Writing to my future self is kind of strange because I always hope that I will have improved. As of thi...

lastnight, a year ago. where are you now? or who?

Lastnight-- dancing on the street with breakdancers. drinking wine in a house with people i don't know-- people who cook with dumpster vegetables, bake vegan cookies, let a lost dog wander around the house, and roll their own smokes. people playing music. feel it: the energy. riding on the back of a moped. hugging. cold. wanting. feel it: alone. asleep, he rolled the ...

A letter from Kelley, last year

Dear Kelley, I am writing this to be delivered to myself (you) when you are 37, a little over a year from now. I just re-wrote the first sentence, because the original plan was to send it to you on your 40th birthday. But next year may be more useful, in terms of keeping you on track. Also, I’m just a little scared to think of where you’ll be at 40 and to wonder if you will have waste...

When yer twenty-two

That subject header is the name of a Flaming Lips song by the way! Don't ever stop doing that. Putting song titles in your subject headers and little snatches of lyrics in the middle of your sentences is part of what makes you you. If it starts to embarrass you or bore, that's how you know you're getting old, so keep it up. Anyway, happy 22nd birthday. Hope you're spending it with friends. F...

Happy Valentine's Day

Dear FutureMe, Most likely, your Valentine is going to be yourself this year, like all of the other years in your life. So, since no body would be giving you anything... well, at least I think you don't have a boyfriend? If so, who and what the hell were you thinking? Well, anyways, since you don't have a Valentine I'll be yours! So, Salma, will you be my Valentine? Well, anyways, what's up. ...

are you still married?

Dear FutureMe, today you're sitting here heart-broken, in Korea, 10 month's married to the love of your life (is he still?), and trying to decide if you should leave him or not. Is he sorry for the pain he caused having an affair? Or is he more sorry he got caught? Today, you believe that he is still thinking of her, and comparing you to her. He seems to be using intimicy as a weapon against ...

Today is February 28, 2006 and you are planning on spending the rest of your life with him. (no engagement yet but I will wager the proposal is coming before march 17th?!)
