Dear Emily,
As a fellow blogger you may understand the vicious cycle of posting. Everyday is a sort of challenge, balancing your need to post something against your fear of no one actually reading it. While I am surely doing this for myself, the nasty demon that is analytics has begun to plague me. When I see that the numbers drop my motivation for writing follows it’s trajectory. Being witty or in some cases just coherent becomes a monumental challenge. All the same, push on, because really what else could you do with that half hour of your life?
I sorely miss you and Jason in Kzoo. While we didn’t have oodles of time together you guys were a couple I deeply enjoyed being around and that is saying a lot. You two seemed perfectly paired, but not in that “doomed to reality” way I tend to see most happy couples. When I was around talking to you or Jason I always felt like someone was actually listening to what I had to say, though often what I was saying was equal parts bullshit and crowd-pleasing banter. I do still plan I trying to visit you all in the city, as I know this is now home for you both, and even a day or so might be nice just to get an in person update on how you are doing.
I can’t remember if I have ever chatted to either of you on FB, or really exchanged any worthwhile contact through there, but it has been nice to see you on my newsfeed every now and again. It has been my experience that when people live in a big city it seems almost absurd to want to be on FB. Us Midwesterners tend to treat FB as a dwelling, where ya’ll city folk treat it like a newsstand. Why lurk through news feeds and friends photos when you could be out and about in the booming metropolis?
I must say again, I miss you guys, but I am sure thought the gmailin’s and the like we will keep in touch. If ever you need anything please please let me know.
Today was a great day, but tomorrow our FBfriendship will end,
Curt
