so you think that im a poor poor bastard huh? well i guess you might be right on some levels, but soooo soooo wrong on many others. sure i may be out of my league, but what the hell does it matter. this young lady is a wonderful wonderful girl, and i appreciate her more than i think a lot of ppl do. at this very moment, ive accepted the fact that she is a friend(one who i intend to keep for as long as i possibly can), and as i said before"i love her whether she loves me or not". sure im living in a dream world, but why should it matter to anyone else. i havent been nearly as jaded as about 95% of the ppl that i know, so i suppose that i have a right to be the way i am. the young lady and i have an understanding that whatever it is that i am dreaming may never happen, so its not like im under the impression that were going to have some fairy tale ending. oh and by the way, just because my spelling and sentence structure isnt exactly "on par" with the rest of the PHD's doesnt mean that im an idiot. there is a difference between illiteracy and laziness my dear. i just dont give a flying F**k.

I've got nothing against you; don't know very much about you, even. It's not so much what I think about you or it. You don't know me. Me flaming you on the internet wouldn't and shouldn't count for anything. I'm just reacting to something that puzzles me, and hoping maybe my comments can help you in future romances.

You said the letter may sound corny and cliche, but you spent two weeks pouring your heart into it. That really doesn't add up. I'm not questioning your sincerity of feeling, and sympathize that you're not used to letter-writing,but those two declarations stand at odds with each other. To acknowledge that it sounds cliche is to admit that it was possible to do better. I'm surprised you can say that and still say you 'poured your heart into it' and 'tried to perfect it for two weeks.' If I poured my heart for two weeks into something that ended up sounding rather heard-that-in-fiction-maybe-a-comedy, I would hate it, destroy it, and start over again using a different approach. But I'm a writer-type; maybe you just didn't see this conflict coming. When you instead sent the letter, you were settling for cliche as the best you could do, and that is pitching yourself very cheaply to a girl you seem to care so much about.

I think if he really took 2 weeks trying to perfect it and that's what he ended up with then we should give him an A for effort but like a C for execution, what d'you think?

(excuse me, am I being a bitch? Kind of a side effect of someone telling me to "F**k off" whether it's deserved or not)

I never said you were lazy hun, didn't mean any offense by it, but I'm not exactly a person that cares whether offense was given or taken my anyone other than myself.

I love my sister dearly I just know that the women in our family inadvertently collect hearts then step on them, not necessarily on purpose it just happens. So sorry to speak the truth when it's there to be spoken, that's just how I am.

The english thing is just a pet peeve of mine, I hate typos (makes it kind of hard to read her journal, but I soothe myself by hoping she's just doing it on purpose to irk me.

My husband's grammar & punctuation leave much to be desired, it doesn't mean I don't love him, I was just saying that it's nice that you spent so much time trying to perfect your letter and I was joking that maybe it didn't come out so perfect because of certain spelling errors present in your online post.

Maybe the underdog will get the girl, doubt it, but maybe...

On another note, you don't have to tell me how wonderful my sister is... I watched her learn how to walk, I helped her learn how to talk, I saw her the first time she rode a bike, I talked her through the first fucked up asshole that slept with her then dumped her... she's great, and you might be a great departure from the league of assholes whose phone numbers have popped up on my caller id at one time or another, who knows.... like I said, maybe you'll get the girl maybe you won't
