RE: Senior Pen Pal Assignment

A non-answer can sometimes be an answer. I’m guessing your omission of those two films means you are, indeed, a boy.

We seem to be making progress with each other, don’t you think? Look at us go!

Sorry to hear your family drags you into their drama unwillingly. Mine does the same. At times, I feel like I’m supposed to make it my entire personality. I’m supposed to own it, but what if I don’t want to? What if I just want to be me? I don’t want to be known only for my last name.

Sorry again. Did I just divulge too much information about myself? It’s hard to tell at what pace we’re supposed to take this assignment.

And since you sort of told me yours in a roundabout way, I’ll tell you mine.

My favorite movie is Pride and Prejudice. The Matthew McFadyen version. Not the one with Colin Firth.
