Why? I'm terrible at correspondence. I don't call my friends, ever; I don't even AIM them unless I have something to tell them or something to ask. I've never been able to keep a pen pal, and the sheer thought of writing a letter terrifies me. But I still remember, ages ago, when I was a wee lad in college how when I started to feel really depressed and like everyone had forgotten about me I received in the mail a care package from Val, a girl I barely knew through my acquaintance with Kiki Dee. The only mail I think I've sent (other than packages) since I was six was a post card to Val when she was at a summer art program. Someone correct me if you've gotten a card or letter from me, but I don't think I'm wrong here.
On the down side, her letter wasn't a cheery one. One of the reasons I urged her to take the semester in France was that she was feeling like she'd fallen out of all her groups of friends at school, but she's feeling the same isolation in Paris. I guess I can identify; I don't go out much at all any more. Except now she's in France, so we can't hang out and I can't give her hugs and cheer her up. =\
Maybe it's not such a coincidence, though. I just realized that the last time I saw Singles was hanging out with her, and the soundtrack is the CD I woke up to this morning. Still, it all ties in together.
