Dear Atticus,
I’m writing a letter? It seems weird. I just don’t know what to say. Uhm, hi I guess? I don’t know. How are you? Yeah, that’s a good one. Seriously, in a second this is going to end up scrunched up and thrown at my bin. I’ve already tried to write this about seven times. Though only one ended up in the bin... My aim is just shockingly bad. Good thing I’m not doing what you are, right?
So, my days are pretty much spent drawing. And beating up my older brother. I lead such an exciting life. Going into sixth form in a few weeks. That should make things more fun. Of course, my Business course is going to be boring as heck. I can’t believe my parents forced me to take it. I don’t even like it. And now I’m ranting at you.. Sorry about that. English literature and language will be good though. And I get to read in the first! With any luck we’ll do Pride & Prejudice. It’s my favourite.
But now I’ve just stared at this piece of paper for about eleven minutes. I know because the album I was listening to finished and now I’m back to the radio. It was Snow Patrol’s new album, if you haven’t heard it yet then you should because I am just in love with it.
Wow. I’ve actually ended up writing a little. All the other pieces of paper only had a few words. I guess this one might actually get posted, even though I’m pretty sure it’s mainly ramble. So yeah, hope you’re doing okay. Enjoying yourself there. And your general? Marshal? Lieutenant? Officer? Whatever he’s - or she’s, because hey, women are awesome too - called, isn’t pushing you too hard.
OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD. Sorry for the swearing. I was just listening to the radio as you know and I think I’ve just heard the most amazing song I’ve ever heard in my life. It’s by The Killers? It was called Mr Brightside and I think I want to marry the song. Or Brandon Flowers. Or both. Listen to it. Whenever you get this, and if you haven’t, then you should listen to it. Drop whatever you are doing, and listen to this song. I expect to hear your opinion in your reply. And if you don’t like the song than lie otherwise I’ll stop writing to you if you hate it.
Looking forward to hearing from you again,
Evie
