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

Amy,
I want to congratulate you but I don't know if that's the right response. If you're happy with the turn of events, I support it. If you're unhappy or unsure, I support you and hope that you get to where you need to be.

Leona Lewis,
I admit it. I like some of your pop tunes. However, your cover of Nine Inch Nails song, 'Hurt', is beyond insulting. I understand artists like to add their own interpretation of songs. This song, though, should have been off limits to you. Please read the lyrics:
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of shit
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stain of time
the feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here.
What have I become?
my sweetest friend
Everyone I know
goes away in the end
You could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way...
NOW! Please tell me how taking out some of the lyrics and adding a pop beat to these words makes your interpretation anything but a shit-covered five gallon bucket of curdled vomit. You should've left this song alone.
Sincerely,
Defensive NIN fan that has gone through what NIN describes and occasionally goes through to this day but uses the lyrics to pull himself through,

dear allison and josh,
ya i didn't talk about the sitch much or announce it cause i knew it was wrong... the gut feeling thing just wouldn't go away... i am glad i got out of it safely cause this guy was crazy... glad to be back :) first night alone (well bro is here on the couch cause i was afraid of the dude coming) and i couldn't be happier!
amy

i think i am a magnet... he was hot so i guess that was the draw... but.totally.crazy.times.infinity...
this taught me a lesson though in what i want in a relationship, balance for sure, i never realized how "balanced" i had become until someone wanted to be around/ with me 24/7 and it was just too much... he was very very sweet to me but crazy

Like! Hahaha!
Josh, how do you feel about Johnny Cash's version? I love his.

Ah well, at least it helped you to figure out what you want and don't want. Sucky that he was too clingy, it's cool when you find a really sweet dude but them being overly so and clingy too early on freaks me out.
Josh, how do you feel about Johnny Cash's version? I love his.
I thought Cash’s approach to the..canvas..(for lack of a better word) was wonderful. For his interpretation, I understood where he was coming from and I loved his technique. However, I didn’t care too much for the painting he painted.
In other words: I don't like it as much as the original. Maybe it’s because the original has meant more to me? I also trust/love Trent Reznor’s technique, atmosphere, and end result more than Cash’s.
I hope you were able to follow my art explanation. Ha! NIN is my core, S_o_G.

PS. The Leona Lewis interpretation, though…….she should stick to her water color and finger paint paintings.
Dear Big Cheese,
Thanks ever so much for the almost non-existent holiday bonus. A whopping $20.00 more than the administrative assistant who "works" 5 hours a day and spends most of that time on ebay. Really, thanks. I feel so appreciated.
Under Appreciated
*Correction: before withholding and 401K deductions, it was exactly the same as the administrative assistant's.
Dear V.P. Whose Office is Down The Hall,
Congratulations on your new promotion. I'm going to miss you around here an awful lot. You're always fun to talk to and bs with when I'm walking past your office. Your cheery disposition is going to be appreciated up at the Seattle office. When you leave, though, PLEASE don't take your Keurig with you. That is my life line. They have so many coffee pots up at the corporate office, you won't need this one. Yeah, sure, it's great for making oatmeal, too, but maybe I can trade you for a measuring cup? I know it won't be your problem later, but my productivity will take a sharp nose dive if you take that precious coffee pot away from me.
Respectfully,
Laura
Dear VegWeb,
Does anyone have the cooking challenge theme/ ingredient list for each week? Otherwise I'm going to have to repost a new challenge trying my best to remember what I paired =/
Why is it the one time I have to prove I can coordinate something shit hits the fan?
