lolz from NY

Smithtown, United States


I'll be checking my mail. I've been thinking about getting a tat as well. I really want to get one on my arm though, but want the color of my scars to fade. I don't know if I mentioned it to you yet, but i've been using mederma to reduce the size and visibility of my scars.. it costs me 18 dollars a bottle, and I can go through one easily in a week or two, but i'm hoping to be able to wear t-shirts again by next summer. The crazy girl in me says get the tat, the one worried about your financial situation says be careful. Is there any other way of making funds?

As far as settling into my place.. I feel like i've just reached a healthy, happy place- and i've done it on my own. I want to stay that person for good, and am looking forward to more time to work on that before you get back. we're going to have a lot of catching up to do, and since it is unpredictable the way things will be, I want to be sure that I can handle anything. I want to be my own safety net in case of falling. I am so looking forward to seeing your smile, hearing your laugh, and feeling your hugs again. I miss you more than I even realize sometimes. Like right now, I have a lump in my throat.

Things were getting kind of crazy with mike. I will explain when I have more time. There is actually a lot to fill you in on about everything in life. Random thoughts and memories come to mind when I write to you on here, but there's just too much. I'll have to tell you a little bit at a time, i think- and probably over a long period of time. I'll still be filling you in, I think, even months after you're back. But anyway, I am happy and relieved that meg is back with chris. He is good for her, and I think good to have around.

Whaaa? You tried to pull off an amanda palmer with long blonde hair?? gotta' love it. I can't believe it's winter there already? BE careful if you do go mounting climbing- I do want to see you again- preferably in one piece.

I decided to pay for school on my credit card. I need to sign up for next semester soon, and am receiving no help from anywhere so.. I have enough money on it and have a low interest rate because of student banking. I want my grades too, damn it. lol

I have to head out to the verizon store now because my cellphone battery pooped out on me. RIP. So I gotta' go, but I love you too snook. KIT with me, let me know when you won't have a computer anymore. talk to you soon x

Last week in Dunedin!

Dunedin, New Zealand


I don't have much time, but I wanted to let you know that I got your last messages and I'm thinking of you. I think that's awesome that you're helping your scars go away...is the cream working? Maybe that's something I should think about too. I think it would be therapeutic for both of us.

So, this is the start of my last week in Dunedin, or half-week rather since I'm probably leaving on Thursday...after this I'm going to be borrowing a friend's car to travel until the 28th...then I fly to Auckland, spend a couple of days with Hannah, and leave NZ the 30th. This means I have to not only relearn how to drive a stick, but also get used to driving on the left side of the road. Urgh.

I know, leave it to me to be Amanda Palmer with long blonde hair. The only thing though is that it's not so long anymore...I got bored and cut it. It's about at my shoulders, and it's weird...my hair hasn't been this short since I was in the 1st grade. It's easier to manage though, which is nice. :)

Well, the library is closing soon, so I should probably go. I miss you too. Have you gotten that thing that my gut is telling me might come in the mail yet? Just checking. ;) Love you, ferrit girl, and talk to you soon.

What to say..

Smithtown, United States


Thanks for the CD- but I am not ready to hear things that hit so close to home yet. I appreciate the pics of your school and the mountains- and it was nice to see your handwriting again. As far as the CD goes, i'll listen to it when ready. Love you, hope all is well. Mel

bad news

Auckland, New Zealand


Hey you,

I don't have much time to write, I'm just letting you know that all is well in the southern hemisphere. I fly to Fiji tomorrow and I'll be there for a week. I'm not as excited as I should be though...Fiji will be cool but I'm eager to get home. I got some bad news 2 days ago...Jamie (my brother) has Hodgkin's Lymphoma, cancer of the lymph nodes. It's apparently the most curable form of cancer (80-90% get cured) and he is determined to beat it, which is awesome. It's just scary because he's only 27 and the cancer is already a Stage 3, perhaps Stage 4 (there are only 4 stages). I found out via e-mail, which kinda sucked majorly and resulted in hysterical sobbing, but my friends here have been really supportive and I've been in contact with my family for the last couple days and they seem optimistic and have helped calm me down/reassured me that I don't need to rush home. Jamie starts chemo on Monday and will probably have to have it every 2 weeks for 6 to 8 months, which will be grueling, but hopefully effective. I'm planning on visiting him a lot this summer...I just can't fucking believe he has cancer. I have complete faith that he can recover from this...it's just a scary reminder that we shouldn't take our loved ones for granted I guess. Anyhoo, I have to go now, but I just wanted to let you know what's going on. Goodnight, sleep tight, ferrit girl.

Love,
Kae

speechless

Smithtown, United States


Oh my god angel, I can't believe what i'm hearing. I want to see Jamie right now and bear hug him and give him all my good energy. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this so far away. Whatever you need, whatever your family needs, and especially whatever Jamie needs- whatever I can give. I wish I could be there for you, and make it better. Don't forget that I am here- somewhere in there is a smile I know I can bring out of you. I'm unsure of how your family would feel hearing from me, so please, send them my love and support- and remember- you have had that from me from the start. Love you snook, please keep in touch

-Mel

I know

Smithtown, United States


I wasn't expecting you for some reason until tomorrow, but it's as if I felt your arrival. It felt like my heart was stretching for thousands of Miles, I knew you were home- I don't know how else to describe it. I decided to check this today, and here you are.. I hope you've found sleep well. I called your house the other day when I first read about Jamie- I don't know why it feels neccessary to say- but I hope I didn't overstep any boundaries- I just wanted your family to know first hand they have support from this side of the country. My father also did all of that research and has a slew of friends involved in cancer studies- perhaps there truly is something we can do to help. I'm laying the offer on the table. Regardless, I have been practicing quantum thinking again in Jamie's name, and I do believe in it. I love you kae, and am here. I know you have a lot that you're trying to digest, and in case you've forgotten- you can call me in the event of overflow. I'm not telling you that you have to call me, i'm reminding you that I m here if you feel like you need me. night, sleep tight- Mel

very delirious, must sleep, but optimistic

Auburn, United States


It seems life has hit you below the belt
And smacked you in the face with the biology you’ve been dealt
Might have been all the shit in the air
Or the hormones in our food
But there is nowhere to put the blame
You’re only twenty-eight

You fell in love with living
Now she might break your heart
And leave you clad in tubes and baseball caps
With only memory to keep you warm
So much you have yet to do
I pray she’ll take your hand again
So much I know you will do
If she comes to her senses

Now I’m halfway across the world
Suddenly in your living room
And though you smile, all I can do is cry
Life is breaking my heart too
But if you have hope I sure as hell will too
Just give me a minute to miss you before I have to

Someone shoot the messenger
Before this becomes real to me
Someone tear this cancer from my brother
Before my pessimism runs free
So much spirit in him to Erode
But can that beat malignancy?
Get me out of this ER episode
And on the next plane back home

Now I’m halfway across the world
Suddenly in your living room
And I’m as powerless as I was there
But at least I’m close to you
I’m sorry I’m fearing the worst
Before I have a reason to
Just give me a minute to miss you before
I have no choice in what I can do

You, given a tentative everything
Promises for a future you may never see
But your glass is half full in more ways than one
Throw it in irony’s face
Wash my worries away

Now I’m halfway across the world
Suddenly in your living room
And when you say it’ll be okay
I find strength for myself in you
Let’s continue our fling with living
Sweaty palms and everything
Just give me a minute to miss you so
I never take you for granted again
