Okay so I kinda gave away the bracelet that I mentioned in the other comment. It was too big, and it fit my dad's wrist so I was like, "will you wear it? it's not like girlie colors." and he was like, "sure why not." So he's wearing it now.
I'm not sure if I remember the colors that you chose. Were they like med. khaki, light sky blue, med. smoky grey blue, and dark or med. olive green?
Oh and maybe I should ask you to measure your wrist like if you're going to wear it or not whatever
ok i'm super tired right now so i dont even know if i'm making sense so i'm going to stop typing now
Okay I was reading over my comment and it is just so weird (I can't really think of another word to describe it besides like, weirdly-amazing), because I think back to when I first found Mibba and I think about when I first started to talk to people on here and making friends and all that jazz.
And just how that went into getting a tumblr and finding everyone from mibba's tumblrs and then talking to everyone on there. And then starting to write letters to people from Mibba and tumblr.
And it's just so funny, and awesome and amazing and weird to remember how it all started and I just... I realized how much I've grown. A few years ago I would have never done any of these things. I would have never posted stories that I had written online. I would have never posted about personal issues, feelings, pictures, etc. online. And a few years ago, I would have never wrote to people all the way across the country whom I've never actually met in person.
And it's all just so insane and lovely, and brings tears and huge smile to my face thinking about how I have done all these things because I met such lovely, beautiful people like yourself.
So thank you for that.
Because lately, my self esteem has not been that great. I think it's better than what it was a few years ago, but that's because of people like you. The fact that I can meet people like you, and Sophie, and Natalie, and Jessica, and Amanda and everyone and just be myself and we all just love each other and listen and talk and are actually friends even though we've never even seen each other in person. It just gives me hope that I can do that in my every day life. That I can meet people, and be myself and that they'll like me and that it doesn't really matter if I make a fool out of myself that I least I'm putting myself out there and being true to myself.
This is just so insane and I am so happy that I got meet you and become friends with you. And I really hope the idea of us all meeting one day in 2012 really does happen so that I can say all of this to your face. Because I love you and you have been such a great friend to me.
Okay I'm going to stop typing now because this is really long, love you!
Hey love! (I miss you and love you so much)
Remember that bracelet I was supposed to send you? For like Christmas or something?
Well, I finally got new string, that's different and I like it a lot, it works better. Anyway, I lost the paper I had that had what colors everyone wanted.... So I'm making this bracelet right now.
It has a lightish smoky blue, a light celery-ish green, a milk chocolate-ish brown and a light-light khaki color.
Does that sound like something you would like? They seem like colors that were similar to the ones you choose before. And I like it, but do you think you would like it?
Let me know, okay?
Katie
PS
I love you and I honestly hope that you are having fun because you deserve to be having all the fun you can and to be happy and all that lovely, mushy stuff! lol
:) Hey, Joyce. I just wanted to let you know that Dar is what keeps me sane (by driving me crazy; the irony~) and I suck for not having time to let you know how awesome it is and how much I love Artemis and how you should keep writing it because I will just drop dead, honestly, if I don't know how it ends and how I really cannot wait to read about Artemis' thoughts and emotions and dissect his mind ... ahaha...ha.
So yeah. PHEW. I feel [i]much[/i] better now. :)
It's your hermana. I didn't know you felt like this. You always seem so sure of yourself, like you're above these things. And you are. All the things that you're worried about aren't important. I know that it may seem like it because that's what we are told to look like by everything around us. I've definitely felt this way sometimes (a-lot-of-times), but every time I feel like I'm not beautiful, there's always something that happens that reminds me that that's not important. It really isn't. What's important are the things that you're doing right now - spending time with good friends, following your passions, caring about your family. All these things you do already and you have so much more coming your way.
I know that you're going to go far, Joyce, in whatever you do and you shouldn't doubt that for a second. Not one pretty girl at Willamette or wherever can compare to you because there's only one of you. If you were comparable to anyone else, that would mean that you would be replaceable, but that's impossible - no one can ever replace you for me. I love your looks and I think you're beautiful. I think that what you should be concerned about is your health, because, let's be honest, you don't have the healthiest lifestyle (i.e. you don't get any sleep!). Plus, we never have vegetables at home. We can work on that this summer together if you want. The rest doesn't matter. All you have to do is worry about the state of your heart. You've already got a beautiful one (one of the kindest, most genuine that I have ever come across). I love you more than words can say!
So I hadn't read your story Cheated Hearts since you finished it, but today I woke up while dreaming about it. If that makes sense, anyways I thought it was weird but now I'm in the process of re-reading your stories and getting mad at Harper all over again and heartbroken over Gavin not getting Dolly even though I was also rooting for Finn in that one and then there's Ben and Tennessee (I never really did like Paul anyway). Moneymaker isn't up anymore but it was also really nice, and I was really sad that she ended up leaving with her husband. I think my favorite part is when the baby is kicking and (unfortunately I can't remember the main character's name) the lawyer feels it and tells Fiona that it's like a freaky science experiment or when one of his clients firsts asks her how far along she is, and and and... ummm the guy from the lobby who's name I think was Luke? He was such a sweatheart too!
wow umm I didn't really expect to write this much, but for some reason I dreamt of your storie and started thinking about your other stories and decided to be another of your many fans to telly you how awesome they all are.
and Dar, love it so far, I know even if it's a sad ending I'll love it anyways 'cause everything will go together
Aw, don't stress about it (easier said than done I suppose though). I'm sure visiting will help make things easier :)
Yeah I'm a freshman at the worst school ever. Hahaha. It's full of guidos, greedos (Greek guidos), bitchy girls, kids who got rejected from art school, and trashy Euro guys who look like lost members of The Strokes in the worst way possible. But I'm transferring after this semester so it's all good. That's the best part about college..well or one of the best parts anyway. If things don't work out the way you thought they would, you can always transfer and try again :)
