Open letters
Seeing as we've got confessions and problems and issues springing up in threads all over the shop, I thought it might be interesting to have an open letter thread. Cathartic, perhaps. From your mother ruining your wedding, to your boyfriend who can't stop peeing on the toilet seat, or even that guy on the bus who kept making that annoying noise with his mouth, get it out here.
I'll get the ball rolling.
To my dear darling boyfriend,
Just because you are technically 'clean' when you come out the shower, it doesn't mean that I am okay with using the same towel you've been rubbing all over yourself for a month. I know you have others. I bought you two myself. Drag them out from the murky depths of the laundry basket, wash them and allow me the temporary use of a clean one.
Love, Cat
Dear Jason Lezak,
Please have a good race tonight. You are my sentimental favorite of these games. I really, really, really want you to go out on a good note.

Welcome to the midwest, ponycakes! Are you in school now? Where at in Kansas?
I have spent an unfortunate amount of time driving through Kansas and went to college in south central Nebraska, so I commiserate.
Look at the bright side -- your already stellar cooking skills will get even better and you will win an amazing reputation and friends with your vegan eats!

Why're you going if you don't mind?
Dear Health Service Card,
Thank you for turning up before I needed you again. Thank you for being where I left you, and not being dropped on the street or left in some shop somewhere.
And thank Brain for not tossing that pair of shorts in the washer before your screams reached my ears.

Dear hh,
I'm always right, remember? ;) Fingers. Maybe that's another reason for the longer ring finger? (mine are pretty much equal by the way)
at first I was looking at my middle finger and I was like WTF, whoa

college.
i really could have gone anywhere (i did well in school, and got a 31 on the ACT so most places would probably accept me), but thinking about college made me panic so i only applied to two places--washington state and kansas state. both accepted me, but kansas state has bakery science which is my dream major, so i decided to go there. at the time it didnt seem like it would be a terrible place, but then i visited and i realized how far away and alone id be and eek. now i dont want to go. :-\
Dear darling boyfriend,
Please please please stop texting me World of Warcraft sex jokes. You are maybe the funniest boy in the world but my sides hurt and I'm starting to flinch every time my phone beeps.
Yours painfully,
Your darling girlfriend.
Dear Ponycakes!
I find that when I'm going about day-to-day living, I don't notice if I'm in a large or small place because of my routine. I think it won't be so bad once you make some friends.

dear ponycakes,
i was biking through kansas and though it wasn't my favorite place ever, then was one place is kansas that someone made me a vegan cake and there were cute puppies. i mean, the cutest puppies ever.
love, hesp.
Dear rain-
Thanks for cooling the tempuratures and making my world a little greener. BUT could you please go away before tomorrow evening. I DO NOT want to sit at the denver broncos football game and be cold and wet. I really appreciate it! Please take my request into consideration.

Dear PB,
I told you to freakin' leave me alone.

Please, AC

Dear Mother Nature-
No need to get hasty, a simple 'no' would have done.

Dear Thunder/lightning storm-
Thank you so much for hanging out with me for 3 hours last night. I hadn't seen you guys in a few years, I was starting to forget how cool you are. Also thanks for not killing those people in those airplanes as they flew through you.
Love,
Satisfied earthling
Dear craigslist,
Please don't delete my garage sale ad this weekend and stop the flow of people buying my shit. You did that last time, and it wasn't very cool. I'm watching you.

Dear people on the Boston meetup thread--
Thank you for your lovely recommendations re: places to eat in Boston. I had a very short trip, but was able to make it to Buddha's Delight in Chinatown, where I had some delicious mock shrimp and veggies in a mild curry and the world's most yummy soup. In addition to making my tummy happy it gave me lots of good karma that followed me through to a very successful research presentation.
Appreciatively,
Caroleena.
