Dear Lucy,
Better late then never.
The weather here has been outstanding for the past week. Warm, sunny, breezy. Perfect.
When I first went to Glacier National Park with John it was the first sunny day in weeks. And since my sister has been here, all sun. Absolutely lovely.
So the lawn mowing battle with V and the church people is super weird and sketchy. He should write a note asking them what's going on and tie it to a tree or something. That would be funny.
You called me and told me about what happened, or rather what didn't happen with job, and that is suuuuper lame. I was so stoked for you and so confident that you would get it. Oh well, if they don't see you're brilliance it's their loss.

I am soooooo excited to see you too and I'm going to give you a summer fun list right now.

A Letter.

Dear Doris,
I know it's a little late for this since you are moving back soon and all, but i really miss you.
The weather in Portland is not nice. it is cloudy and weird and it is supposed to be summer and it's not.
The church people by V's house are really weird. The big lot next door is usually overgrown and jungle like, the grass so tall you can't even really tell that there is concrete. And most times, V's grass is really tall and he gets complaints from the neighborhood, which i think is silly. Anyway, he mowed his lawn and it looks really good, and then the next day the church people mowed the lot. Then he let it grow out a little bit, and so did they, and then he mowed it again, and the next day, the church lot was mowed too! it's so weird!
In the next few days i will hear about that job. i don't think i am going to get it though. i am not organized enough. i looked cute though...
Anyway, Doris, i am so excited that you are going to be back here soon. WHAT ARE WE GOING TODO??? i think you should make a list on here of the things you want to do when you get back, and then we can do them and it will be really fun kay?
i love you.

"Ah, sorry, I don't know why I keep doing that. You just look like such a Dick to me."

So there’s this boy.

Let’s call him… Bob.

Then there is this other boy. Let’s call him Bend.

Then there this OTHER boy, and we are going to call him Bend-er.

THEN there is this OTHER boy, who we are going to call Chaz.

Then there is another boy who we are going to call Goose.

And THEN there is ANOTHER boy who will be called Justin Timberlake.

AND there is a boy who will be called Dr. Rick.

Lastly, there is PeterPan who has the nicest butt and who is slightly out of age range.






Bend thinks Lucy is really cute, and while Lucy thinks Bend is also really cute, she is not sure how she feels about him. Bend-er is a dangerous, mysterious, fine piece of yum, who may or may not be interested in Lucy, but Lucy would only be in it for the Dangerous HotPants-less Stuff. THEN there is Justin Timberlake, for whom Lucy has all kinds of unrequited (bitchassho) love for, and who is not around, THANK GOD or else her brain would explode. Then there is Chaz, who Lucy is in love with, sometimes for real, sometimes not, but he always seems to be in her head. Lastly, there is PeterPan who has the nicest butt and who is slightly out of her age range.

Doris wants Bob’s pants (Bob’s Hot, Hawt, PhuckinSexyGenius Pants), but we don’t know if Bob wants hers. Goose might want Doris’s pants, and while Doris WISHES she wanted Goose’s, it probably is not going to happen. Then there is Chaz, who makes Doris feel better about leaving Bridgetown and her Besty. THEN there is Dr. Rick, who Doris used to be really good friends with, and they wanted each others pantses for a time; this is no longer the case, and now both Lucy and Doris are really bothered by him, for some completely unknown douchey reason. Lastly, there is PeterPan who has the nicest butt and who is slightly out of her age range.

And then there is Ben. We LOVE Ben.

Lucy Wants: Paint+Wine+TomWaits+Thexx+MorePaintSlathered++Bend-erYum, Chaz 4always, no more Justin Timberlake, and PeterPan from the second star to the right and straight on till morning.

Doris Wants: IN Bob’s pants (Bob’s Hot, Hawt, PhuckinSexyGenius Pants), to kick Dr. Rick in the pants, to thank Chaz, PeterPan from the second star to the right and straight on till morning, and then to get the hells out and find LumberJackLuke from Montana.

Fast Forward

We left you fresh from the wilds of America, at the end of the summer. Epic road trip over and a weird 20th birthday past, came upon a new school year and Lucy Dagger enrolled in school, was in a play, fell in love with a teacher (of course), made some new friends, and was as busy as a bee that is really busy as well as being happy as a clam that is really happy. Dorris Deadbones moved (again), got a real job teaching, and got a seasonal job to spend more time with snotty kids and their snooty and sometimes very attractive parents for the holiday season, completed many a project (knitting, leather, paper stuff), and got a car that is teaching her how to drive. (Sister is back in town for a bit!)

Then the whole holiday thing happened. It was fun for both of us even though we mostly spent it apart…weird. An old friend came back into town and Lucy Dagger spent the majority of her time with her schedule flipped on its head, smoking a pack a day, drinking gallons of coffee at a time, procured a snort, and being an all around class act. During that time Dorris Deadbones had an inappropriate crush and quickly threw it over board. She worked three jobs until suddenly they all ended (or went on break) within the same week. She got bored started new art projects that are currently sitting, waiting, and wanting to be finished and put up for sale on etsy.com (look for her shop in the coming months!).

We welcomed a dear friend home from 3 months of marine boot camp, only to say a reluctant goodbye on the all to soon date of TOMORROW. This time his absence stretches from 6 months to year.

Good luck and we love you Private Wyman!

Current goings on will be posted ASAP.
