Week 6; letters in the mail

Letters have character. These letters are both official, both happy.

Dear Madeleine,
It gives me great pleasure to officially thank you for becoming a blood donor. Blah blah

You may be interested to know that your blood type is O positive and that you share it with 39% of Canadians. Type O blood is like no other, as it is compatible with all positive blood types. Because your blood can be given to so many different people, it's always in demand. I hope your first donation experience was a positive one and that you will donate regularly, because there is always someone in need.


My experience wasn't too positive.. I fainted. So I'm gonna have to start working out A LOT for the next time. They gave me a blood donor card too!!! yaaay

Letter #2

Dear Madeleine

Congratulations on being an awards recipient at the 80th Annual Peel Music Festival; your high level of performance was noted by the adjudicator who has recommended you. I am sure that you worked hard to achieve this goal, and I trust that you, your parents and your teacher will be pleased with this well-deserved reward.

Blah blah blah


So Nervous Adjudicator liked my playing. yay.

In all the stress of DOING STUFF AUGH it is nice to have something happy happen.

Week 5; friends

Thought I'd tell you about a great friend of mine, on the off chance that he might come across this sometime. If he does, ah well, he knows I like him a lot already. I wouldn't take the time to write a blog all about him otherwise. Hehehe
We kind of got to know each other at the beginning of grade 11. Chemistry and the service trip, and then wow bang msn. I think we're both more comfortable talking about things when we have time to think up good responses, because we started talking about all the important things on msn. We discussed our loves, hates, fears, we argued about politics, and theology, and ways of dealing with everyday frustrations. We laugh at silly things, such as imagining if ducks could moo. Think about it. It is great. Hahahahahaha I still laugh at it.
He is very sarcastic and cynical though most of the time he is really really good at being a genuinely loving and caring person. He seems to enjoy irony except when something ironic happens to him. Speaking of which, he gets himself into hilarious, strange, and complicated situations ALL the time. I don't know how he does it.
It seems as though he doesn't understand the politics that are hidden behind many peoples' friendships, which is probably a good thing because I never really understood it either. He is very sensitive to thoughts, ideas, feelings, concepts. He is good at contemplating life. He is sooooo open to learning about new things, it is uncanny. Actually, he is a good teacher too. He thinks up good difficult questions.

hah. I just realized I put earphones on when I began to write this, but forgot to put music on.
I hope this doesn't sound way too sentimental and over the top. I'm trying to be truthful.

How many people do you know who have completely turned around the way you see something? He has done this to me too many times to count. Sometimes it frustrates me that he is such a cool person.
