Dear you beautiful fifth grader/high school senior you,
I'm going to receive this letter in 2005 when I graduate. I have so much to say, so I'm going to write it.
I have a lot of favorite things such as food drink and TV show (haha! what?! who says that!?!).
My favorite subject is math; food is mom's pizza; drink is skim milk; teachers are Mrs. Hommes and Mrs. Wells and Mrs. Hommes is my current teacher.
TV shows are "Friends" (this was written right after Ross's wedding in England, the only episode I ever watched so that's not really true...), "MTV Total Request," and "Boy Meets World;"
Animals are everywhere and I love them all.
My favorite bands are The Wallflowers, Fastball, NSYNC, Backstreet Boys and others; my favorite songs are Heroes and Laughing Out Loud by The Wallflowers, The Way by Fastball, I Want You Back by NSYNC, Everybody by Backstreet Boys, and My All by Mariah Carey; my favorite singers are Puff Daddy, Celine Dion, Robyn, and I can't think of any others but if it comes to me, I'll write it down.
My favorite sports team is the Bulls with my favorite players being Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman, and I think that this year they might get their sixth title.
My favorite movies are As Good As It Gets, Titanic, and Selena, and i want to see Deep Impact, and the Truman Show; my favorite actors are Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Smith, and Brad Pitt. My favorite actresses are Kate Winslet, Julia Roberts, and Courtney Cox.
My fashion is unusual (hahahaha, that sentence killed me the first time i read it today, because it was totally normal for elementary school...or so it seems). I like baggy pants and shorts, but short shirts.
The car I want when I get older is a jeep but the kind that only fits two or three people, it has a move back and forth hood too (what i meant was a wrangler...). I am not a car expert.
My favorite number is 33.
My best friends and their numbers are Catherine Pierce - 464 - well forget the numbers, I'll just name my friends - Catherine Pierce, Sarah Duda, Kellye Fitzgerald, Sara Collins, Jennifer Chaprinskas, Danielle Stolpe, Bethany Lewis, Allison Neuberg, Jessica Julian, Fred Bosse, Travis Canaday, Phil Pimental, Michael Johnston, Brandon Tran, Danny Rosselot, Steven Schmidt, Jon Moon, Nick Armellino, Megan Clarke, Quyen Ngyen, and almost everybody I have feelings for in different ways.
I'm a pretty good student, and my best subject is spelling which I've always gotten A's on so far in the school year and on my report card.
My favorite nickname is Mags but others are Mag, Mag-Mop, andtypes that make fun of my name like Grabber and Goober.
My favorite crush is Leonardo DiCaprio, and in my class, it'd have to be Fred Bosse; he is so nice to me and doesn't make fun of me either.
My favorite field trip was to Camp Tecumpseh. We went there on October 16th and 17th and that was the best field trip I've ever had in my life, and I was the pony (i pretended be a pony on the pony express and did that thing, "i'm a pony! i'm a pony!")
Phil Hartman just died when Brynn Hartmean shot him and killed herself. He was on SNL and News Radio.
When I grow up, I want to be an actress on the movie screen and if I'm not that I still want to be a famous person; my job would be that I want to be an actress so I hope that is my job. The college I want to go to is Northwestern because it has a great acting school. Actor David Schwimmer of "Friends" went there. (this entire part made me laugh)
If I don't go to Northwestern, I want to go to IU (woo!), VU (boo!), but I want to go to NU.
Some of my favorite saysings are Whatever, LOSER, and Cool. (WTF!!!?!! haha)
About two weeks ago, Mrs. Hommes brought in two bunnies named Pitter and Patter but them go yesterday. Some other songs I like are "Torn" by Natlie Imbruglia. She is so awesome and is from Australia. All the Matchbox 20 songs including Push, 3am and Real World. (then i listed all the cds i have, i mentioned a lot of the singers though so i'm not going to write them all out.)
When I go off to middle school, I'll miss a lot of my friends that are going to TJ. I'm going to BF and so are a lot of people.
Good new is that the Spice Girls, "Ginger Spice" left the band so might "Baby," thank you GOD! I HATE, I mean HATE the Spice Girls! (a year after my extreme fourth grade love of the spice girls...woah. my hatred for them makes me sad).
You know what, when I'm graduating high school from Valparaiso High school, I'm going to look back on this and laugh at what fifth grade really was. Right now, it's 8:17 P.M. on June 2, 1998 and in 7 years, I'll receieve this letter I'm writing now. Mrs. Hommes has given the best school year I've ever had in my life in a long time (huh...i get it...but..what?!) I'll miss Northview and all my friends that are going to TJ.
(i talk a lot about camp tecumpseh and disney world...i stayed at the wyndam Safari Hotel and my room was #4309, i love that i knew that...)
Our class has two lizards named Baby-girl and Buford-boy. I think they might've mated because Mrs. Hommes saw it and say when they mate, they do what we saw. Mrs. Hommes also kept two bunnies for two weeks but she let them go yesterday. I think I wrote that though.
I'm thinking about this right now and the future and I wonder what it will be like.
I'm writing this down so when I read this letter, it better be true. I will never try a cigarette, I will never smoke, I will never get addicted because I'm not going to even try it. I'm sure of that! That's a promise that will always be true. (still true, but i'm not so psycho about that...)

One of my favorite things to do what it is really hot is go rollerblading. I think it's fun because you can do a lot of tricks on it and it's a really cool hobby. I can't grind yet but I'm learning to. I always wear a helmet so if I fall, I won't hurt or cute my forehead... (sweet! grinding tricks!
My 3 best friends are Sarah D, Catherine Pierce, and Kellye Fitzgerald. My top 5 are the 3 above and Sara C and Jennifer. My 3 best friends that are boys are Fred, Travis, and Phillip. My best five are the 3 above and Nick and Brandon Tran. Three of the ten aren't going to my school. I'll miss them all in different ways.
(then i go on and talk about field day of that year and my class picnic...)
My new favorite song is "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls. It's from the City of Angels Soundtrack.
Love,
Maggie
PS - I wonder who my prom date will be.
oh snap!!!!!
