Dear Nikki

I've been debating on whether or not to email one of my closest friends. We have exchanged any contact in 5 months or so, haven't spoken in almost a year. I sent her a quick message (at the very least, for closure's sake) and got a very kind response. We're at least talking now. Thanks for the courage.

Dear So-and-so who I thought was a wonderful man who genuinely cared for me,

In the words of Tyra Banks: "I have one thing to say to you--KMFA!"

P.S. Until you do right by me, everything you think on gon' CRUMBLE.

This letter should also be addressed to whateverthehellthatAlpha'sname is and signed by me. My mom said I shouldn't call him back and I'm trying not to but I'm so mad...

LOL at Senusret I and Kappavating.

Dear Soror Divine Diva,

I hope the Omega realizes what a great catch you are!

Dear CG:
That wasn't me, directly.

I'm just the messenger. Glad it worked.

Dear Grey's Anatomy and ABC:
thank you for the Starter Kits on the returning shows. However, you owe me one hour of my life back because I just sat here and went through the entire thing.

I'm addicted. Shonda, I will come and work for you for free, doing whatever you want on the set. Thank you for the finale of season 4. But I hate you again for the previews of the 2 hour season premeire of season 5. I need to know if Rose is pregnant!!

Dear John "Maverick" McCain:

Thank you for successfully making me sleepy without having to partake in my usual ritual of taking a shot of nyquil. After your excessivly boring speech about how you have been a POW, and blah, blah, blah. You spent a small amount of time talking about the REAL issues at hand.

BTW, your basic public speaking tactics are shot to hell. As the leader of this country and the free world, it scares me to know that you would be forced to speak on this country's behalf to persons far more intelligent than you.

And as for your VP nominee, please advise her to stick to the issues and refrain from political mud-slinging. In case she fails to realize, she is not in the best position to make such remarks.

Slomberly yours,

KAPPAtivating

Dear Heart of mine,

You have played many tricks on me through the years yet the lessons you taught are priceless. At times the feelings you give can make me cry, scream and be confused...but all in all I love ya. I thank you for giving me the capitcity to love and to be loved. We haven't known it often but our time is coming- I promise. This time lets learn to love like there is no tommorow..OK? Yes, it's a risk but what do we have to lose...shoot we might have a date with destiny and the "alter"

. So, we are gonna leave the door cracked a bit so he'll know we want him to come in and we'll have to teach him that he still has to earn his place at the table. As I type this Lauren Hill is playing in the background "Sweetest thing"...

We'll wait for that kiss on the colar bone....

Dear Nikki:

I'm going to take your advice. I will be writing letters to my friends. I have attempted actual conversations, but I cannot stand to be interrupted when I am being genuine. One of the friends in particular loves to discredit and invalidate my feelings when I am trying to explain my side of the story. This pisses me off and causes me to shut down. Then, I don't want to talk anymore. More time passes and the rift widens. However, I am going to write everything down in a letter, thus insuring that I won't be interrupted. If they want to talk after, fine. If not, cool. At least my chest will be clear.

I have decided that I am ready to wave the white flag. I am always fighting for "my side" or my position, but I am ready to take on 100% of the blame if that's what it takes to mend my friendship. I can go tit-for-tat with them and it doesn't resolve anything. In fact, it makes things worse. So now, I am ready to take all of the blame, put it behind me, and see what we can do to move on from here. If the friendships have truly run their course, I am take that. I just cannot bear the burden of a heavy heart anymore. Like you said, life is too short.

RD

Dear J:

What is wrong, sweetie? You made it perfectly clear that you just weren't that into me. It took me a minute to figure out, but once I took off the rose-colored glasses, it was clear as day. However, you still send me these random texts just to see how I'm doing.

::blank stare:: Spare me.

I think that you are REALLY just keeping the lines of communication open for the times that you get bored. Perhaps you are trying to hang on just in case I make it big with this law thing. Maybe you think I'm a damn duck and don't know any better. Whatever the case may be, gimme a break. I don't have the time. You had your chance. Get lost.

RD

P.S. Please don't anticipate me telling you that I'm moving to your city for this job. You won't even know I'm there unless we run into one another in the grocery store at Blockbuster or something. I don't want your head to be all gassed up, thinking that I'm moving there for YOU. Nor do I want you to believe that you will just be "passing over" to my house or anything else of the sort.

I am ready to mend broken friendships and build healthy ones. Please don't wind up on the "Write Off" list. If you are TRULY interested in being a friend, shape up, brother.

RD, I'm going to borrow a part of your letter. I hope you don't mind.

Dear J or whatever the devil your name is (since you lie so much),

See the letter RD wrote? Some of this applies to you! If you really wanted to be with me, YOU could have made an effort. But since you want to disappear and text me, not call, whenever you're ready, I'm not giving you the time of day. And the only reason I said "I need time to think" is because I want you to feel some of what I have been when I was still "under your spell". But I'll wait until you call me again to give you the official heave-ho.

JB13

P.S. I gave the Alpha hat I bought you to an Alpha who was more deserving of it.

Senusret I · #9 08-16-2008, 07:34 PM

Dear JB13:

I am all about the gift of para, even if it wasn't originally meant for me. Thank you for the hat.

LMAO!!!! You're welcome!

Dear T-Mobile,

Please just release me from my contract, sans the $200 ETF. I have had it up to my eyeballs with the dropped calls. You have been really nice and helpful throughout my 4+ years with you. But there comes a time, when you just have to part ways when the relationship is no longer mutually beneficial. And that time has come. Release me. Let me go. :-(

Boom

nikki1920 · #12 08-16-2008, 10:14 PM

Dear RD:
go for it. Your heart will be lighter.

Dear car:
Jerome, I loved you for 12 years, 207k miles plus. If it's time for you to go to car heaven, then I will miss you and will let you go. That temperature light being on red caused me great distress as we drove home tonight.

Thanks for the great memories,
Nikki

Dear family:
It was great being around you all today.

Here's to family!!

Ronnie's youngest daughter

I.A.S.K. · #13 08-17-2008, 12:32 AM

Dear RD,
Told ya you are great. The move will be great as well!

Dear Uinversity Fam,
I love you all. There are so many people who hate on us, but there is nothing like our bond. I've been all around the world and lived many places, but there is no place like HOME! I <3 My Skool. ( Yeah I know I'll be posting the EXACT opposite whe I have to go talk to Admin. and financial Aid people on Monday, but for right now I will let the love fester.)

KAPPAtivating · #14 08-17-2008, 11:54 PM

Dear Sexy Young Lady,

I am finished working overtime to win your affection. My costs are definitely outweighing the benefits. Therefore consider your stock SOLD! And because you THINK you are irreplaceable, already began investing stock in someone else effective TODAY. It's been real!

Never was yours,

KAPPAtivating

PS...your ex (which I already know you've been kicking it with) will NEVER be me!

Dear Everyone Keeping Up with the Job Progress:

I didn't get the job.

I was a little depressed yesterday, but I quickly rebounded. I am putting a new plan into effect and I am sure that I'll be much better in the long run. This was my last ditch effort for (current) independance, but without this job, I have to move out of my own place and back with my mom for a while.

Everyone that has lived on his/her own KNOWS that going back to live with your parents is THE PITS!!! But, I'm looking at the bright side and know that all this struggle has to serve a greater purpose. I'll be OK.

Dear Soror D:

I know you get tired of me sending you those long winded Facebook messages, but I REALLY do appreciate you listening and offering your help, assistance, encouragement, etc. I love you!!!
