5th grade

So I guess when I was in the fifth grade we wrote ourselves letters for our teachers to mail to us. My mom brought mine to Hawaii with her along with some other mail that got sent to my house and it's probably one of the funniest things I've read in awhile. This is what it says:

Dated: June 2, 2000

Dear Laura,
Hi! Wat ^? Today was field day + u are in 5th grade at St. Louise DeMarillac. My friends from school: Claire, Nicole, Hillary, Jon, Mike, Brittany, Jessica, Mandy Smith, Mike O'Neil. I just got a picture of ( ___name withheld___ )... Yay! Claire + I have a BIG crush on him (maybe you still do!) Do you remember Chris Lambert? He was that 12 year old from England that you met in Florida. Do you still e-mail him? Are you and Victoria still best friends even though she lives in England? Do you still like NSYNC or do you like BSB now? Here are my favorite bands: Limp Bizkit, NSYNC!!!, Sisqo, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Method Man, Mandy Moore, Korn, Marilyn Manson, Britney Spears and Barenaked Ladies. My favorite songs are: Bye, Bye, Bye, Forgot About Dre, Thong Song by Sisqo, It's Gonna Be Me by NSYNC, I Wanna Be With You by Mandy Moore, Baby Got Back by Sir-Mix-A lot baby! That song is from the 80's! Falling Away From Me by Korn, Make Me Bad by Korn and lots and lots more! Here are my friends from swimming: Tara, Janelle, Danny M, Carey, Chris, Tim, Evan, Charlotte, Sarah, Emily, Allison D, Ben, and anyone else I 4got! Bye! - Laura (insert flower and smiley drawings)

Besides the fact that I was a fucking strange child (Korn, Marilyn Manson?) The kid who's "picture I got" that Claire and I had a crush on I could not tell you what he looked like or anything like that. I was just thinking about Chris Lambert the other day. He was fucking sexy and we planned to meet every year in Florida from 5th grade to like 7th or something like that. I wish I still had his e-mail cause he's probably hot and I liked his accent. I'm still friends with Victoria and I plan to visit her in England sometime in the (hopefully) near future. I still like Britney Spears so that's pretty consistent. I love how I added "that 12 year old boy" as if being one year older was such a big deal. I guess that's proof I've never really liked anyone my own age... ha
