Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

ita mocks my pain

Dude, I have more creepy guy stories I can share. You think I don't know from pain and guys going to twisty lengths to get in your face?

Now tagless for your comfort.

I never had any love letters. I did get a gut-punching "you're such a good friend" letter from my high school crush, though.

He's a surgeon now.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

After we stopped going out, I recycled my love letters from Favorite Ex...if I had known we weren't going to stay in touch, I might have kept the ones without the clip art. I do have several...love e-mails?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I've written love letters, and now I wonder if they were creepy.

Write me one, and I'll tell you.

Me, unsurprisingly? I've never even thought of writing one.

I think I did, it's called Safe Harbor from Ann Arbor.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Man, I've never gotten even a creepy or sucky love letter.

Yeah, but you have gotten a valentine.

What counts as a love letter? A first time declartion of love, or just regular schmoopy letters between separated lovers? I've got plenty of the latter.

I don't think they're necessarily declarations of romantic love, like the essay I wrote about ita, or Tim, they can just be about how much you love someone. I'm not sure if either essay is schmoopy, but they're both about how much I love them, and how I came to love them.

I have written the romantic love letter, though. I think romantic love letters are less complex, for me, anyway.
