Kompis!!!

Kanna Kompis,
Thanks for letting me know about the glitch in the commenting!! Hopefully it is fixed now and you may go about guessing who the letters are for! The other day I sent the most amazing text message and I shall include the cnotents below.

"Punk ass mother Fucker cunt balls sac of shit. Firehaus or all you balls deep in lady?"

Firehaus is the bar I was at and that was my sincere and friendly way of inviting him to join me. It reminded me of all the classic SMS we sent each other back in the day. Hope you're doing well. Talk to you soon.
xoxo

Dear You! (?)

Dear Friend,
How are you? I hope you are doing well. I am here in America trying to make the most out of life. America is quite different from Sweden and I've made several changes in my life to account for it. I stopped drinking alcohol and replaced it with coffee. I do still go out with friends and enjoy getting to know new people. Not surprisingly I am outgoing even when I'm sober. Not drinking has led to some amusing and interesting situations (all of which I remember). I'm also taking a break from what I would consider the "romantic" side of my social interactions. Perhaps when I go back to dating I'll try having a steady monogamous relationship again. These days I fill my spare time with learning Russian, baking delicious things when possible, and making jewelry. My future looks uncertain and I'm unsure of when I'll be able to return to Europe, but I hope when I do, we will be able to visit. Miss you heaps.
Puss och kram Claire

First Letter!

Dear Friend,
How are you?!!?!! I hope you're doing well and getting along pleasantly with your job. Since I've been back in America I've been eating tons of food from Dos Reales and Outback Steakhouse. I'm not sure if I've told you yet about how my mother won an apartment rent free for a year, and gave it to me. It's a pretty good sized one bedroom with a bathtub and at a pretty good location (only a few blocks from my old apartment). The only down side is that it is already furnished and I have no idea what to do with the rest of my stuff. I don't move in until August 18th, so for now I'm just hanging around, eating food and looking for a job. Dan said he'd help me be motivated and fill out some applications at bars around campus on Wednesday, so that's should help. In other Dan news his dad gave him a bike the last time he came to visit and I'm super excited about it. My plan is to make him bicycle around with me, but we'll see how well that works. He's recently been hanging out with a lifeguard from the waterpark, and she tells me it isn't that hard to get a job as a life guard and I'm considering it for next summer if I'm in the area and can get over being terrified of water. I have the apartment until August 2010, so unless I find a better paying job somewhere else (a job for a college graduate???) it really couldn't hurt. I might not even be a graduate by then, but we'll see. Hopefully I will see you soon and in the mean time, stay safe and keep healthy!
kisses kisses

Hello!

Dear Friend,
I hope this letter reaches you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to let you know that I've started a blog, and in this blog I will tell of my adventures, luck and misfortunes! Each entry in this blog will be written in the form of a letter, and each letter will be written specifically for a friend of mine and posted here shortly after it is written. I am not going to post who the letter is written for but you are more than welcome to guess in the comments section if you would like. This will hopefully be a pleasant and fun way for me to let everyone know what I am doing with my life in a more personal way than a usual blog. The internet connection in my life right now is quite spotty so the first of the updates may not come for several days and it may be several letters at once. I hope this does not discourage any one from reading them, and I hope you all enjoy your time here.

kisses kisses
love Claire
