dear hanalei,
welcome to the writer’s workshop. i thought of you when edren mentioned this session would be correspondence. i had to figure out a way to finagle you in. especially since i can’t seem to find my stationary. i know it’s somewhere, but i think the stationary gnomes found my stash and used it to build paper mushroom houses. damn you stationary gnomes!
i still have your letters, somewhere in my piles of things. i laugh when i reread them, even when the subject isn’t anything to laugh about. in the past 5 years we’ve been through a shit load of crap. both good and bad. with or without each other. the journey has been insane.
i remember how we met. you complimented me on my make shift ankle brace. my bum ankle gave out in chicago and it was wrapped in some random fabric i had packed along. you noticed it and i laughed. then through some odd small worldliness and several hilarious aim chat conversations, cali sluts was born. i’m excited to know what you’ll write. i am always impressed with your words, your actions, your _fill_in_the_blank_here.
and forreals we need to hang out. sorry boston was such a bust. hopefully, when i get a jobby job, i can pay to bring you out west. so we can engage in some debauchery. debauchery without the crazy. or at least the crazy people. yeah?
i still have your christmas gift. wait, do i? it’s probably lost in my piles of crafty mccraftyness.
you’ll get it one day, i swear.
smell ya later,
lainey
