Dear Diary...
Jul. 14th, 2010 10:41 pmIs that lame to start an entry that way? Oh well.
So I wrote to my Auntie to ask for my sister Molly's address in England so I can send her the letter I worked on. Mr. Wagner helped me figure out what to write. Now I'm really anxious to just send it already before I change my mind.
In some ways, letters are easier than talking to people. You have time to figure out exactly what you want to say. But also... I hate letters. I don't like the idea that all my questions and bad thoughts are put permanently on paper. The person you send a letter to can keep that evidence for their entire life. You can never deny what you admit in a letter.

Hope they write back.
