An actual e-mai l just sent to my (former) Chemistry teacher.

Dec 22, 2003 00:41

Anyways it is nearly twelve. The night is young and I am bored. It has been a half hour since I began this e-mail and I am only at the third sentence. I got off the phone with Mia about forty minutes ago and I felt very frusterated. She always acts like she has these brilliant revelations about my mental state and my emotions and tells me about them like she is some incredible genius. Then I have to explain that I already analyze myself so much that there is nothing that she can tell me that I don't already know. She told me that she thinks that I am maintaining my crush on this girl Jessica (she played Ms. Maudie, the narrator, in TKAM) just so that I don't have to deal with moving on and persuing other girls. Of course she is right and I realized this a long time ago. It wouldn't be so bad if I felt like Mia cared any more than just to point out that she can analyze me. What she won't accept is that I already know that Jessica doesn't like me and that I am only continuing to dwell on her because it's easier than taking risks on anyone else I may have feelings for. I can take care of myself, besides I am weighing out whether to take risks with another young woman as we speak (or as I type as the case may be.) Certainly thinking things through is better than Mia's plan to just date random guys who are willing to date her so that she can "learn how to date people." There is something to be said for that, but I can't help but imagine it is going to end with many more emotions hurt than is necessary. Well I have lost steam on this rant and I am sure that I have dumped more than my share of emotions on you. I am sure that this has successfully alienated you, but you'll probably be polite and reply anyway. I am not always this crazy, but it's late and I'm in a strange mood. I apologize for taking it out on you. Feel free to write back with any problems of your own. It's not like you'd be violating a teacher-student barrier or anything. I hope this reaches you well.
