Dear Ben,
Remember you used to walk me home? And you sat behind me in math class? Sometimes Heather and I would include you in our games of making lists of anything and everything. I bet you thought that was a little bizarre. You were always so much smarter than I was. I mostly did those things as distractions, which in turn became distracting itself, I suppose. I'm sorry if I was too distracting. Why didn't you ask me back to your place again? I bet you thought I wasn't interested but I was. You were cute. Weird, but cute. Every time I came near you I tended to spaz out and I'm sure that made me look so perfect. You were charming in an awkward high school way. I hope you are an engineer now. You deserve it.

Sarah

Another Block
Dear Inspiration,
Where are you, man? I haven't written anything in days. Weeks, actually. C'mon. You call yourself a genius? Prove it. What was that saying? Genius is about perspiration? Maybe I need to work up more of a sweat. Climb some stairs. Run around the block. If it doesn't make me feel more creative, at least I'll be too tired to care and will be content to just watch a movie or something. I feel like we go through this same song and dance everyday. Sometimes we can avoid it, and sometimes I don't even try. But today is different. I actually feel up to the challenge of creation! Well, I'll give it a go. If it doesn't work, I'll rent something frivolous and everybody will be satisfied.

Love & sweets
Dear CC,
I hope you enjoy the cookies. I know that cookies don't really express how much I like you and how much I owe you, but that's what I do. I make cookies. You really have helped me out so much, more than you could ever think. You can keep those books I lent you. I wish I could talk to you more, though. You're afraid to take things seriously, deflecting everything with jokes. Sometimes I wish you would talk. The only time you did was when things were in the sewers for you. I will lend you all the Russian literature you want. I will do whatever it takes.
Yr pal,
Sarah

Partnership
Dear Tegan,
Remember when I said we could be a pair, Tegan & Sarah, but you didn't really know who they were? I forced you to check them out, but I doubt you did. Every time we had a project together, something would come up for me and I would be out for a few days, leaving you with the whole project by yourself. I'm sorry I did that so often, but you think you'd pick a better partner. Once I saw you riding your bike and it made me want to ride with you, even though I am not that athletic and you were probably happy at the end of the day to finally be away from me. We were so half-assed together. I kind of miss that. I guess I miss a lot of little things that I didn't think about until recently when I was wondering what happened to my life. Well, Tegan, we'll always be a pair. Tegan and Sarah.

Underwear thief
Dear person who steals my underwear,
Why? Why do you do this? And why only my black underwear. I need these pairs, too, you know. Do you have a crush on me? I mean, I'm flattered, but you can just leave me a note or something. You don't have to take my underwear. That's just gross. Or are you a man who likes women's underwear and just chose to steal mine? Wouldn't you rather have pairs that haven't been worn? Honestly, there's a sale on at the Bay. Not too expensive. If I can afford them, I'm sure you can as well. So stop. Please.

Internet
Dear Internet,
This is my first letter to you. I enjoy the letter format of communication and often feel that this is the best way to express my feelings, even though they will probably never be responded to by whoever/whatever I'm writing. And my dear internet, I am addressing this first letter to you. You have changed so much about my life, for better and for much much worse. Thanks to you, I can be social without actually having to be social. Also, I can find out about everything going on in my lovely city and other lovely cities and be in the loop, as I have no cable and don't have a newspaper subscription. I read the papers I find on the subway. In conclusion, this is for you, internet, whether you like it or not.
