"I have missed so much! My life has changed so much since the last time I wrote! The most important even that has happened was Gary B. Here's the story. Right after I met that really cool guy (Jonathan - the one that reminded me of Peter Pan), I dated for two days this JERK named JERRY. A week later Jasmine and I planned on going to paint pottery together, only she backed out last minute. I decided I would go to Barnes & Noble (the only place I could hang out by myself without looking like #1 nerd). I wanted to call Mom and tell her where I was, so I jetted towards the payphones. I was digging in my bag for change, not paying attention, and almost ran right into Gary. I knew him in high school, but I thought he was a jerk and that he was gay. Anytime I ever talked to him, he always answered in this JERK-TONE, so I had a low opinion of him. All the [color] guard girls loved him (because he was a surfer...woohoo) and I didn't think he was that attractive (and I thought he was kinda fat). Back in the bookstore, when he was talking I thought to myself, 'He is SO beautiful. Is he gay?' He asked me for my number discreetly...it was such a friend thing.
A couple days later, he wore a grey shirt, and we went thrifting and went to Tom's [record shop]. Then we hung out some more, and I went to North Carolina. When I came back, Gary and I hung out practically every day. We watched The World According to Garp the night of our first kiss.
Gary is an explorer, dreamer, writer, surfer, Jeep driver, newly-made-over vegetarian! He's a good shopper and he likes to drive fast, wash laundry, show off his injuries, and change clothes 50 million times a day. He smokes cigarettes slowly - he's the slowest smoker I've ever seen."
