Write me a letter. It can be as personal or impersonal as you want. You can make it from the Lego man on my desk, or anything. Write more than one if you want. Then put this letter in your journal, (except without the Lego man part, unless you have a Lego man too,) so I can write to you.

I have a lego man too! He's not on my desk though, unfortunately, because having a lego man would imply that I probably had other legos around somewhere... which would be so incredibly fabulous. There was a lego on the floor of the robotics lab yesterday during class, and I got so excited, but I looked all over the room and couldn't find any other ones. That is the problem with legos, they are kind of useless on their own. I think it would be hard being a lego to really have a strong sense of self and personal identity. You'd need it though since you couldn't define yourself as part of whatever you had been put together with other legos to form because chances are this structure would probably be taken apart and you'd become part of something else, and if you had defined yourself by that, this would be pretty traumatic.
The lego man probably doesn't have these problems though since he isn't part of the spaceships, he just flies them.
Love,

my lego man gets to ride on a three-wheeler, so he is ok.
I have treated non-living things as living things (like everyone else), including all my lego pieces. I always thought it would suck to be a structural lego - one that plays an important part in terms of the spaceship's overall stability, but cannot be seen by the human eye because he's surrounded by other pieces. I always thought the cockpit, computers, wings and guns had too much ego, and that maybe someday I'd use that little structual lego on the outside, right on the front of the ship, so that he could just sit back and enjoy the ride for once.
A lego piece does look lonely when its by itself. I think people sometimes feel the same way... always looking for their inter-locking counterpart.
