Letter

I have a best friend. Named KC. On an LDS mission. His companion-sir-fellow sent me a letter which I received in the mail today. That calligraphy is all done by hand. Yum.

Dearest Bloggerlings,

No need to worry. I failed my driving test by four points. You can all stop praying. At least I'll never ever have to deal with that awful man ever again. Thank you.

Freedom! And now onto the state driving division!

Dear Sylvain Chomet,

You are utterly fantastic. I wish I could be French and 20 years older and marry you and we would have beautiful artistic children with messy hair and Woody Allen wayfarers.

Now, you know I love you. You know that 'Belleville Rendez-vous' {aka: The Triplets of Belleville} is my favorite movie in the entire world, and that I have watched it way too many times to even say on the world wide interweb. You know this, Sylvain. So, when I heard you were creating another beautifully animated masterpiece I NATURALLY had a brain aneurysm and called it good.



After watching this trailer, I was utterly determined to find where this film was playing and when I could see it. Luckily for me, there was a showing in three days time at the Broadway in Downtown SLC. {I love you, Salt Lake City.} So, I asked mum if she'd accompany me in my foreign films escapade, and she agreed that we would go see it today.

This morning I got online to find out movie show times, and it said that they changed the release date to FEBRUARY FOURTH. I can't wait for two months to see the movie that was OBVIOUSLY made for me!!! If you, Sylvain, have any control whatsoever over movie release dates, you should seriously hook a sister up and bump it back a few months to...um...now. As in today. Make it so it is released today. Please.

Meanwhile, I guess I'll have to get by with watching this animated short you made back in the 90's.






I love you with all of my teenage fan girl heart,

Lexi Vivienne

You. Are. A. Walking. Stereotype. The sixties called. They. Want. Their. Hat back.

Letters to life and other non-banal things. #1

Today, I was bored and feelin' sentimental as well as depressed. I decided to write letters to people in my life that I wish I could talk to at that very moment. Back when all of my older pals started doing the "thirty days, thirty letters" blog posts, it made me want to write letters too. But, since I am a dweeb who hates creative barriers, I decided {today} to participate in a different, non-conformist way. This is what happened.

Jerusha-

I know you haven't written me back yet, so I don't want to seem to precocious, but today has been a weird day. A super weird day. I feel so off, so out of the loop. I miss having friends, yet I don't want to go back to the ones I used to have.

I mean, I still care about them, and probably always will, but it just isn't the same anymore. I feel very out of place whenever we hang out, and it seems like the only reason we were ever friends in the first place was because we went to the same school.

I'm so sick of being sad all the time. I seem happy to others, but it's all a facade used to mask my true and stupid feelings. I'm numb. The things people say are starting to get to me, and they never have before. I need a nice long chat, and I don't have anyone to talk to.

I miss you. I miss your songs and your jokes and the fun we used to have. I miss how I could tell you anything and you were still my pal. I miss laughing about our age difference and reassuring ourselves that we were best friends in the pre-existence. I miss your stories, Jerusha, and I want you to come back.

I need you.
