My Dear Lisping Waves,

Firstly, I must say I feel deeply honoured to hear your voice in song - a voice resounding with tenderness, tranquility and beauty in its own extremes. In the absence of another voice and accompanying instruments, it took full flight. And with due praise to its effectiveness, I fell into dreams swiftly.

I'm sorry I didn't sing back to you but you see, I can't. I sound bad - not just normal bad - but bad bad - you get me? like REALLY bad.

Furthermore, I wish to thank you with much gratitude for waiting for my parents with me on that foul street - and I'm sorry that Lucia - sleepy beyond sleepiness, charcoal circles beneath both eyes - had to accompany me in the midst of night.

As for my brother...I checked again this morning and he still hasn't thrown away that uninsightful literature that is so poor for his health, and ebbs his intelligence day by day.



Sorrowful and concerned,
Drifting Lodestar

My Dear Drifting Lodestar,

I love the way u write! it's pretty kewl. Can i plez add ur letters to my site? :) Thnx for your compliment about my singing, but i know u were just being polite. i know my voice is awful, my sister reassures me that i made quite a fool of myself when i started singing. i'm awfully glad that it put you to sleep though. zzzzz zzzz (^_^) Thnx also for lending my sis ur lap for her to lean on. Lucia reassured me yesterday that yrs was more comfortable. She was mighty disappointed when she had to switch laps. Oh well. Waiting with you until yr parents arrived was my pleasure. i enjoy being in ur company :) no need to thnx me at all. Yr brother sounds incorrigible, but im sure that one day, we'll figure a way to cure his horrendous addiction. Y said the other day that u would like me to meet him so that my *good influence* might cure him... but have u considered this: His *bad influence* might be too strong, and who knows... i might end up being the one who gets transformed ... So have u visited my site? Hannah promised me that she would, but she keeps on putting it off :( So which movie would u like to see, and when will u have time to go? who would u like to come with us? what about karaoke? Hope u enjoy monday night with karina, say happy birthday to her for me, will u? Sweet dreams, Lisping Waves

Lisping Waves,

At this point in time, late as it is and sleepy as I may be, it is impossible for me not to thank you - thank you from the depths of my heart and soul and mind and whatever else lies within my now empty selfless self for showing me a reality, a plain and incorrigible reality.

It's so true. So true when they say fondness and intense hatred are but separated by a thin and fragile line.

I could be a sweet little kitten.
Or a horse.
Or a cute puppy dog -
Or a beautiful tiger.
Or even a fish, brainless as they may be.

But Lisping Waves! A cow? A filthy, odorous, twisted cow? You have absolutely no idea where you have left me - whatever confidence, integrity, virtuous bla blas I had ever felt has been washed into a drain interminable.

It stinks.

But seeing as I AM a forgiving, wonderful girl who will not hold grudges against such slight and uneducated people, I do forgive you this once.

I do hope, however, that you do learn from this lecture and shed your old foul skin.

Yours faithfully,
Drifting Lodestar
