From heartbreak to Japanese, and all things in between!: day 17/365

ok, so like 5 or 6 years ago, a friend of mine in California and I started writing these e-mails to one another. The whole point was to just put your feelings on paper and go with it! It started because he emailed me one time and said "hey, haven't heard from you in a while....how are things?" or something to that effect. I told him that I just had a lot on my mind, and I had been super busy. In his awesome, big brother fashion. I pretty promptly got an e-mail back, which pretty much means it came back less than a week later, that asked me of I wanted to talk about it. I tried and tried to write it all down in thought out sentences, but eventually just typed "this is really hard, I am going to do it this way, try and keep up, and if you can't then call me later" and I just typed out, with no structure and no real order.... everything that I was feeling. When I got a response back....he had typed his response in the exact same way....no regard to sentence, sentence structure, or really grammar for that matter! we through in the occasional apostrophe, but for the most part, grammar is optional. Anyhow, it was just something to do and something to look forward to most of the time! At times they are serious and at times they are just so plain goofy that the first line of the response is always LOL! anyway....one day, we said that we were going to turn it into a book one day and so I did. I was super upset and going back and reading them just made me REALLY giggle and such, so I printed them out and I put them in a book! Now, whenever I have a particularly rough or tough day, I take them out and read them and giggle about all the conversations we have had that have made us who we are (counting to ten in Japanese, counting to 1,000, jokes, talking about crushes, talking about life, etc.). As I said before, some serious, some....not so serious! Occasionally we slack...like now, and usually it is his fault, but that's ok cause we all need to slack every now and then! Anyhow....I think I may go send him one of what we have affectionately started calling our "Endless Ramblings of Nonsense!" Hopefully I will make him laugh, so I am going to have to think of something really good and funny! Here is the cover of our "book" OH! and an afterthought....I had my MRI today and I go to discuss the results with the doctor Thursday! Hopefully, I will be able to make a blog post about it then!
