16-year-old white male. (Very white.) I live at home with my mom. I have no brothers or sisters. My dad lives with his new wife in another city.
That’s about it. Pretty dull, huh? It was more fun being a mystery person.
Whatever.
Please let me know if you’re even out there. I won’t bother writing if you’re not reading.

Jamie,
Do you realize that’s the first time you’ve used my real name? And this is the first time I’ve used yours. It feels like a defining moment, somehow. :)
I’m sorry I “disappeared.” Can’t explain. Not yet anyway. Thanks for being there.

I like that defining moment thought. I like it a lot.
Okay, now that I know you’re at least reading this stuff, I’ll keep writing. I’ve quit tabulating my hits and misses because without you responding, I’m not sure you’re even keeping track. I am still reading the horoscopes, though. It does become an obsession.
Things I’ve been wondering:
Is whatever it is that is keeping you from writing, the same thing that made you decide to do school by correspondence?
Are each of us distantstudybuddies hiding behind our computer screens for some reason?
Did that astrologer ever reply to you about the chicken/egg thing?

Just wanted you guys to know that Kaleigh really is still reading her email, even if she isn’t writing. I’m pretty sure she still has all her typing fingers, so she’s probably sick or sad or something.
Anyway, I think she’d appreciate hearing from you, even if you’re not tracking your hits and misses anymore.

Hi Kaleigh,
I’m wondering if you still want me to record my hits. Since you’ve stopped writing, I thought you may have quit collecting data, too. Yes? No?
I sure miss you. Did you write to Blondie (Jamie)? He seems to know something I don’t. I’m jealous!

Kaleigh — wherever you are — keep your fingers crossed for me. Stargazer said “leos would be rewarded.” Guess what? I’m being nominated for an academy award.
2good, as always.

Hi guys,
It’s me. I’m back, sort of. Just dropping in to tell you not to bother collecting data anymore. I’ll just use what I’ve got, if I decide to even finish the stupid project.
Sorry I haven’t been in touch. I just lost interest in the whole thing. I always did think science sucked. I’ve decided astrology sucks too.
Thanks for trying to help me out with the project. You’re off the hook now.
Take care,
Kaleigh

Hey Kaleigh, I’m sorry about the astrology project. What happened? I thought you were really into it.
I hope we’re still friends. I really want to be.
