i have a pen pal

lisa, giving tyler crayola tattoos

yesterday i got a letter in the mail from my friend lisa launching our correspondence. it was truly the highlight of a terrible, terrible week full of irrational worrying and anxiety and also difficulty sleeping. there's nothing worse than not being able to sleep when you're exhausted. i actually wrote her back immediately after i got the letter, and i'll be mailing it soon.

enclosed were some tea, a paper snowflake crafted by lisa,

and a little capsule with a tiny monster that expands in warm water. i think it looks like a martian. a martian with one arm.

i still haven't really gotten the hang of the layout aspect of blogging. you'll have to help me, lerin, as well as sending me a letter or two of your own to show that you haven't forgotten me. i know you have a blog dedicated to keeping me informed, but thats just not enough for me.
