Dear Lee Chin,
The Movie was great.
Surprise! Continuing…
I’d want to see it again but I doubt if any one would take me. Tomorrow Martha and I are going to work on our project for social studies. During the movies I was studying Paul because he’s the only one I can’t draw. I think I finally have a fair characterization.
Fast-forward two days…

I stayed over at Martha’s house last night. She told me she smokes pot. From what she was saying it seems like Cynthia does too. Cynthia, I’m not surprised, but I’ve always thought of Martha as a goody-goody type. Well not really “goody-goody” in a bad sense, but I don’t know. It seems weird. I was kind of embarrassed that I don’t smoke it, not that I want to or anything. Any way, it really doesn’t matter either way. It’s not as if she’s a burnout or anything. Any way, it’s late and I’m kind of tired, so I won’t worry about this tonight. Well really it isn’t anything to worry about I mean she’s the same person I knew before. What difference does it make. I shouldn’t even have brought this up. It’s not that important. Any way, good night.
Such a fine specimen of peer pressure. It’s so unimportant that she spends about a page writing about how unimportant it is. Okay, sure. Do I sense a rift beginning between the two girls?
“Dear Lee Chin” really is even more deliciously trite and stereotypical than one could hope. I am impressed.
PAUL! fair characterization, huh? what’s wrong with his face? well, not really wrong with it in a bad sense, but it’s weird. i mean, not that it bothers me or anything. anyway, it doesn’t matter. i guess we can’t all be pretty. plus, i’m at work so i won’t let the ugly worry me right now. not that i’m worried or anything.
that’s the great thing about being a teenaged girl with a name like “martha.” no one would ever suspect you of dabbling with recreational drugs.
are you there, god? it’s me, martha…
