her knocking on the door, so she breaks a window to get in—and found us. She wasn't that pissed, but we left anyway. I came home late that night, and woke up around four a.m. under the coffee table in the living room. I was still fucked-up.
    My mom comes downstairs and says, “What are you doing?”
    I said, “Leave me alone, I'm camping.”
    See, I'm weird when I'm drunk, but at least I have a sense of humor about it.
    Anyway, guess I scared the shit out of Ryan. So much for pretending to be tranquil; should have been myself from the start. I wanted Ryan to like me—no matter how much it hurt. So now I end up with the one I could love, shaking his head like, “What the fuck?” and some guy I just thought was cute—is almost in love with me.
    I call it karma. It all balances out.
    Maybe Ryan just needs time to digest what's been going on. Besides, once I get in somebody's system, it's pretty hard to get me out completely.
    Ryan has a Virgo mom, and you're a Virgo, so maybe you'd be able to help me with him.
    Okay, well I love you tons, and miss you tons!
    Love forever,
    Mary Rose

Dear Nobody,
    Well, today mom pulled some crazy shit. We were getting along so well. We were hanging out together, being a family; almost like when I was little. So I get back from the rope swing and there’s a note on the table saying that she went to meet Joe and that she’d be back at 7:30 p.m. Well after 7:30 (a LOT after), mom comes home with my McDonald’s dinner, and surprise—Joe—her abusive ex-boyfriend (or fiancé—or whatever) was with her! I was SO ENRAGED! So when they were out on the porch smoking cigarettes, blowing smoke into MY house, I locked them out. Deadbolt, wood stick, locked windows. And I barricaded the front door with furniture. They were out there for two hours before Joe started yelling something and got a garden tool and tried to pry through the kitchen window. That’s when I threw her wallet and keys out the window and they left.
    Mom called from a payphone. She told me if I didn’t like living there with him, I would, “HAVE TO FIND SOMEPLACE ELSE TO LIVE!” Yep. My own “mother” chose an abusive, asshole boyfriend over me and my eight-year-old sister. Fucking bitch! She only loves me when it’s convenient. I’M the one who is always there for her. I’M the one who is her DAUGHTER—and that word means nothing to her.
    She said she was driving him two hours back to his parents’ house; that’s four hours of driving for that asshole.
    Well, its 3:20 a.m. and she still isn’t home yet. I hate it—how dare she choose him over my baby sister and me? HOW? She cannot possibly love me. At all. She causes me so much pain. I could deal with my life if it weren’t for her. I’m just a human after all. I’ve got my plate full. And I already feel like vomiting.
    All I ever need is love. Just love. Love makes me happy.
    I mean, now that Joe’s gone, I feel okay, I guess. So long as he stays gone. But I am still very hurt. Very hurt, but okay for now. Well it’s almost 3:30 a.m. (ten more minutes) and she still isn’t home. So nice she can take off work for such things, but when we’ve got plans or something, she has to work—undoubtedly.
    Oh well, from now on I’ll just focus my energy on fun, nice things. But for now—I’m going to bed to try and sleep.

Dear Nobody,
    I just did some dope that some guy from Reading gave me.
    I feel like the star of my own movie.
    I feel like the queen of my own Queendom.
    I feel like the prize of everyone’s game.
    I feel like the model of my own designs. I feel like the diamond in a musty cave.
    Oh, how indescribable; I could be the author of a million theses and still not be able to describe this…

Dear Nobody,
    Its 6:00 a.m. Here I am—still buzzing from last night.
    I’m buzzing so hard that I can barely feel my
