Dearest Rachel,

FINALLY a bona fide band has admired my drawings of Quail Man! I feel like I’ve been waiting for this my whole life. My artwork has been appreciated. It’s about time.

I hope your ukulele session went well. You know how I love that little stringed miracle.

I just saw the girl with the best voice got kicked off American Idol last night. Geez… we’re such a dumb country. I texted my mom about it because I knew she liked her, and she just said, “I know. She was my favorite OF ALL TIME. A voice as good as CELINE DION.”

I'd be up for moving to Canada. You know I would. I just don't think they would accept me lolz. My sister looked into getting Canadian citizenship once... she didn't qualify. It's probably because she was single!!!! #DISCRIMINATION

There is a little boy who goes to the daycare downstairs that I think I’m going to steal. His name is Marcus, and he’s this chubby little black boy who is the CUTEST thing I have ever seen in my entire life. And he’s got such spunk!! #wanthim

So I need to tell you about my dream last night!!!! It was SO weird. You, me, Rachael, and Austin were in it. We were ourselves… but we were also Friends characters? You were Phoebe and Austin was Joey, and I (Monica) discovered you two were secretly together! You found out that I had found out (“they don’t know we know they know we know!”)and so you ran ahead of me to catch the elevator and tried to shut me and these other people out of it, but we pulled it back open and got on. You were really nervous, and then Austin/Joey came walking down the hall and got on, and the doors closed. Then these other people on the elevator (it was a seminary conference lolz) were asking questions about what high school I went to and all these things, and then they asked a question that would have revealed your secret, and I didn’t know what to do because I didn’t want to do that to you but I couldn’t lie to them, and then SHAKIRA woke me up! Aka my alarm. At the climax of the dream!!!! Further details of this dream can be shared on another medium.

I also woke up with “Who Says” by Selena Gomez in my head. I have only listened to a portion of it, like, twice, and don’t really appreciate it that much. But I can’t stop na-na-na-ing.

We’re hiring summer VISTAs to work here at the Clinic. One of them that applied is a Korean-American who loves Jesus. He also took a year off law school to care for his ailing father, works with disabled children, and worked his way up the American dream ladder. I think I will make him mine.

I am drinking tea. I forgot how much I like it (with appropriate amounts of sugar added)!!!! It’s Bavarian Wild Berry flavored. Eric would be proud.

I am going to go play Family Feud.

Becca
