One day in late January/early Feb of my senior year in high school I decided to leave town. I told my mom I needed to go for a week or so. I told the school I was doing "college visits" and I took off to California to visit my big sis, Liz. During the 12-13 hour trek west I stopped at a gas station in the middle of nowhere (literally the only one for 4 hours). It was coupled with a Baskin Robbins and I was then introduced to the best ice cream EVER -
Love Potion #31. A seasonal favorite. Cupid’s White Chocolate and Raspberry ice creams swirled with a raspberry ribbon and loaded with raspberry-filled chocolate hearts and chocolate chips.
The other night Nikki and I went to see Juno and I was forced to abandon my anti-dairy and sweet fast (lasted a week) because I haven't been able to find this heavenly dessert for the past 3 years and the theater was selling it!!!!
absolute divinity.
Nikki said this was the most excited she's seen me since I got here - sad, I know.

I knew I liked you for a reason. Mostly for the "college visits" your sr. year. A girl after my own heart...btw...I LOVE YOU!
I still can't quite get over how you view the world. When read your writing and get to see the world through your eyes its alive, sad, and somehow invigorating. It's like reading Magic Realism. Though I think you write with Magic Innocence. It's neither Magic, nor innocent, but it's evocotive of both and trancends both.
Anyway. When do you come back to the States? I prayed for that job, I guess it didn't work out?
