Day 29 — The person that you want tell everything...
This is an easy one - Once again, I already talked about him…
Dear D,
There’s so much I want to say, so little time. So I try not to say anything that’ll rock the boat. I am playing it safe. No need in causing a bunch of drama. I’d love to tell you about what I’m thinking and feeling, but it is not the time yet, I don’t think. I could be wrong. But, I’m...

Day 28 — Someone that changed your life
Dear Dr. Harvey,
At the time, I never appreciated your words of encouragement and your pushing me to be a successful person. I thought you were off of your rocker a lot of the times, but sometime around sophomore year, I started taking your words seriously. I was encouraged by our talks that year and I have gone on to be successful - rather than flunking out of life!
I hope to visit with you...

Day 27 — The friendliest person you knew for only...
Dear John, the waiter at Outback,
You were totally rocking the day my friend and I sat at your table at Outback on 23rd. You were friendly and funny. It wasn’t an overbearing kind of “see me, I’m funny” type of funny, but the understated funny that stays with someone once they have left you.
I appreciated your suggestions on a drink - the Wallaby Darned is now my favorite...

Changes at work...
As I mentioned before, when it rains, it pours. I have been with the company for almost 8 years. I’ve mainly worked in the field in operations, but I did spend 2 years at our corporate office. Anyway, I was told by my bosses that we are currently overstaffed at my current office but that I can move into the same position at a different location. That sounded good, at first, but I know that...

Day 26 - The last person you made a pinky promise...
Once again, I already talked about him…
Dear D,
Your making me pinky swear to not say awesome more than 5 times a day has just made me focus my efforts on other words, like awestastic, fantastic, epic and wonderful. I’m expanding my vocabulary!

When it rains, it pours
My life is one big jumbled mess most of the time. There are slivers of sunshine on occasion, but I always have something that knocks me on my ass.
Earlier this week, my job asked me to temporarily take a position about 30 minutes further away from home than my current position. The hours are marginally better, but the commute will be close to 2 hours. I have an unlimited Metrocard, so...

Day 24 — The person that gave you your favorite...
I have a lot of favorite memories. Usually they involve some gluttonous activity. For the sake of finishing this task, here goes.
Dear Crumbs Bake Shop owner,
You totally rule. Your cupcakes have me exploring all over New York City for cupcakes, cupcakes, cupcakes. First it started with a Friday afternoon affair but now has spread into midweek. I really can’t afford to eat your cupcakes...

For my 100th post on Tumblr, I have decided to make a list of 100 things that I like. I thought it might be interesting to brainstorm as much as I could. They are not in order of importance but in alphabetical order, rather.

Ellie (@thepinkc),
I’m uncertain of how we first connected via Twitter but I am happy that we were given this opportunity to get to know each other (the power of social networking; shame on those who try to degrade it). You are really encouraging and I find that we have many of the same…

Day 22 — Someone you want to give a second chance...
Can’t think of anyone. Honest. If you burned your bridges, oh, the, well. If I burned them, nothing I can do to change your mind. So let bygones be bygones.
yeah
so he is trying to win my heart. him being the guy I’ve been dating the last 3 or 4 months. he is fun, funny, interesting and best of all he thinks I’m awesome. I don’t usually go for anyone taller than 5’9 so the fact I gave him time of day is testament to his personality. he likes that I read and listen to NPR. I like that he taught me the finer points of NBA basketball....

Disabled People are Funny
robdelaney:
Hi there. I had an interesting comedy experience last night that I wanted to share with America and other people who can speak/read English. First I will say that I do a lot of comedy all over the place and have performed in a variety of locations and under a variety of circumstances, both wonderful and shitty. That is normal if you do comedy and are not very famous. You do a show in...

Day 21 - Someone you judged by their first...
Dear X,
Ha! I definitely judged you based on my first impression - and boy, was I wrong. I thought you were smart, funny and articulate. And you’re clearly none of the above the more I’ve gotten to know you. You have your moments, but for the most part, you are a snobbish jerk. It’s hard to talk with you or even think about doing things with you because you makes it so frigging...

I already went through all of this in Day 7. I’m not rehashing this point this morning. It still stings sometimes, and today is one of those days.

MIA
I’ve been MIA for a few days. I’ve been working over the last 12 months to get a lot of dental work done that didn’t get done while I was in graduate school and didn’t have insurance. Everything came to a head back in the fall when I ended up with a huge, serious infection in my left upper jaw. I took round after round of antibiotics, but because the infection was so deep,...

This is such a huge pile of victory, I don’t even know where to begin. I love ‘shmallows, GhostBusters, caffeine, the logo that reminds me of the Michelin man, the tofu-looking cubes. Gold.

Day 18 - The person that you wish you could be
Dear me,
You’re pretty awesome already, but you have got to definitely work on your patience with people. Some people are just slow, and there’s nothing you can do about that.
You also need to work on letting go of the hurts of the past and stop letting them influence the decisions you make now. Half of those folks are dead, and the other half are still stuck in 9th grade.
Love,

Day 16 - Someone that’s not in your state
Dear Brandon!
Yes, with an exclamation mark! LOL I met you via Twitter and now you are one of my favorite people to follow. Your tweets are funny, insightful and interesting. Your drive is something I admire. I used to be kind of like you, but then one day, I lost my type A drive. Oh, well. I’m old now, so it’s not as necessary as it used to be!
I know that you are going to be famous...

Day 15 - The person you miss the most
I’m doing the 30 Days of Letter Writing project. It is challenging and maybe you should try it, too. I miss several people equally, but, alas, I can only write about one.
Dear Grampy,
It has been many years - over 19 to be exact, since you passed away, and the pain does not go away. The sense of loss cannot be put into words. It just feels like a piece of my soul is missing. I’ve...

one person did something bad who happens to be Muslim, Christian, Jewish, does not mean all Muslim, Christian, Jewish people are bad. Or that all people or bad. Or all brown haired people are bad.

Day 14 - Someone you’ve drifted away from
Dear S,
We used to talk every single day, all day long. I’d be at work, you’d be at work and we’d laugh and play all day. But since I decided that for my own health and sanity to leave an organization we share in common, our chats have become less and less frequent. Now you only send me messages or reply when you need something. We don’t chat much about mundane things...

Day 13 - Someone you wish could forgive you
Hmmm… this one is hard. And personal. But whatever!
Dear A,
I honestly didn’t know he was dating you. It would be easy to blame you for the whole fiasco - keeping secrets is never a good idea. If you’re dating someone, why keep it a secret? However, the main point is, I didn’t know. Once I knew, I was sorry, but you wouldn’t accept my calls. Maybe one day...

Day 11 - A deceased person you'd like to meet
Dear Jesus,
Yeah, I’m writing you. I want to talk to you and find out if you really meant for us to be doing all of the things we are doing, if you ever intended on leaving Judaism and forming your own religion and more. What was life like back then? Do you know that we count time based on your death? Were you married? Did you look like me?
I really want to know the real Jesus – the person...

Day 10 - Someone you don't talk to as much as you...
This one was an easy one!
Dear A,
We don’t talk as much as we should. I remember a few years ago when we would stay up half the night talking, laughing, debating and just enjoying each others’ company. Then, life changed for both of us, and we don’t talk as much anymore. Now things have changed again, so maybe we’ll rekindle our friendship and pick things up where we left off!

Dear Barack Obama,
I would love to meet you because you have shown great resilience and a calm demeanor unseen in ages. I want to emulate your behavior the more I see you and hear about the things that you’re doing to improve America. I don’t always agree with your methods or the things you’re doing, but I admire you for sticking with your promises to yourself and country.
I’d love to talk...

Dear Google Reader,
Every morning I eagerly anticipate opening you and seeing what great information has been posted all over the internet while I’ve slept. With dozens of feeds and hundreds of posts daily, I can quickly get to the information I want, need and find interesting. You save me so much time and make it easier for me to keep abreast of my favorite topics – technology and urban...

Day 7 - Letter to an ex
Dear XXX,
I hope your life is going well. I never realized when you broke things off that it was for the best. I’ve gone on to do things I never imagined I’d do and live in the greatest city on Earth. Thank you for letting me go. I miss you sometimes, but it was the best decision you could have made.
I know that you can’t even fathom the hurt I experienced. It took me years to get over...

Day 6 - Letter to a stranger
Dear Lady in the Red Coat -
You do realize it is summer, right? Even during the heatwaves, I see you every day riding the M101 with your floor length red wool coat, hat, sunglasses and a dainty, yet worn patent leather pocketbook. You never speak. Nary a sound. You get on quietly and ride a few blocks to Morningside and sit on the bench feeding the pigeons.
I’ve seen you so many times over...
Day 5 - A letter to your dreams
Dear future career -
You and I seem to be at odds. I want a job in my field, you seem to be as elusive as a ghost. We must come to some sort of understanding because frankly, I can’t keep doing what I’m doing and be happy. All I want is a job in my field that is fulfilling and helps me make a change in the world. Simple, right? So, let’s do this. I’m ready. I have the education, credentials...
