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.

Happy Birthday Jilli!!!

no-pain-ma on your surgery as well!

OH! Happy Birthday Jilli!!!

I have all the letters my boyfriend in college wrote to me. As well as all the letters I wrote to him while we were together. He gave them all back to me when we broke up. Also a letter he wrote to me a few years ago apologizing for being such a dick when we were together (not written out of the blue in a creepy way. I had sent him a card when his dad died).

I always think of love letters as "Oh my dearest, how I miss you, etc., etc., etc."

Which I have never gotten, as I don't inspire feelings of "how I miss you." It has something to do with my misanthropy, I think.

I did get a gut-punching "you're such a good friend" letter from my high school crush, though.

I got one of these from my first freshman-college-year crush. Have no clue what he's doing now.

A college roommate's brother developed a crush on me, and he was writing me initially chatty letters that escalated to the "I love you!" level, which is where I freaked out. That was strange enough for me (I'm the crusher, never the crushee), but even more weird was when I got a letter from him out of the blue five years later. (He worked for the post office, so he was able to track me down.) I never responded to that letter, either, and I never heard from him again.

I've gotten a lot of filthy e-mails and they were fun but I wouldn't call them Love Letters.

I did get a note from an ex-boyfriend once, but it was with a "christmas present." The gift was his snipped off tail (it was the eighties, we were sixteen) transformed into a tree ornament. I'm sure it seemed damn romantic to a rejected sixteen year old boy, but I was pretty much skeeved.

I should not reschedule the doctor's appointment I have tomorrow despite the fact that I know it's not going to be good news. Right? Even though I've been stressed like whoa this week because of work and nobody's called me about my brother-in-law's doctor's appointment this morning, and my grandmother's not doing so hot, and --

Wah. I want pie.

I haven't gotten a love letter, but as Hec pointed out to Jesse, I have gotten a valentine. My ex and I did used to write letters back and forth, even though we were in the same town, but I don't know that they were love letters, just letters.

I wrote a now crushingly painfully embarrassing letter to him after he broke up with me, sort of begging for him to take me back.

I have recieved a semi-anonymous porn tape left on my doorstep, which was creepy. It was a couple months after my ex moved out and I couldn't tell if it was from him or to him, as the attached card could either be read two ways. I wasn't going to watch it but a friend of mine thought I would feel bad if he made me a suicide tape or something. I was instead treated to a bad tape of bad seventies era porn.
