Dear The Love of My Life,
It did not occur to me that other people could get a hold of this journal and either 1) read it for themselves and get a good laugh/take it seriously 2) publish it to my utmost chagrin 3) be insulted and tell the people involved in my writing the nasty things I said about them (which in fact will not be nasty, just critics of their personality, behavior, etc.) or 4) BLACKMAIL ME... I don't know what to think. This does serve a purpose...albeit a selfish one. Perhaps when my quest is said and done and I am happy...I will burn this book so no one can use it against me. Anyway, I should blame Laurent (my dearest and oldest friend) for my current state of paranoia. I was supposed to enjoy this writing...not feel threatened by it. I suppose it cannot be helped at this point and I will soldier on. Though I'm just being quiet foolish. In other news, I met a rather interesting man today, his name was Carlton Sweet. An athlete and he works in the city as a journalist. We had a rather stimulating conversation about some authors we both liked and the state of politics and the economy. He was tall, with pale skin and gray-ish colored eyes. He was soft spoken, but easily excited and entertaining when we were on a topic he obviously enjoyed. I liked him. Perhaps this Carlton Sweet is you...the love of my life...we shall see. (And maybe I should address this journal more openly instead of to the epitome of my wants, desires, and love...it's very odd. Then again...this whole situation is odd) I think I should go to bed or relax a littl now...the four espressos I had before are getting to me...
Good bye and Goodnight
~Adam
