I think there's something rather wonderful about a letter in the mail. Snail mail, you might call it.
There's something to be said for writing in your best penmanship, on crisp paper and mailing someone a note. As opposed to scrawling on someone's Facebook wall at 3 in the morning.
Not that I don't love Facebook as much as the next person...
I'm really not that old fashioned.
I recently ordered a new pair of ankle boots from Urban Outfitters, and it prompted me to think about the mail. Which then prompted me to think about this outfit, from forever ago, that I've never actually gotten around to posting.
I thought of myself as a Postman - delivering letters from my leather satchel, bringing joy wherever I might go - but never actually recieveing any letters myself.
I suppose postmen received mail in the olden days too - but if they didn't, it would be rather sad and melancholy, don't you think?

Anywho - the mail also prompted me to remember that novel I've been letting sit and fester in my Documents folder...
I've resolved to order my proof copy and actually get around to publishing it.
I'm hoping it comes in the mail soon and, for you, a preview of the lone poem that made it's way into the collection:
Cold Oatmeal and Burnt Toast
The morning grind
Too early – Too soon.
Rolling out of bed
Can’t find a spoon,
So my oatmeal cools
Too cool
Cold.
So, I hit reheat
Thought that might work
But, my microwave broke.
And by the time
I clean up my mess
My toast was a burnt little stump.
Should have watched the toaster too,
But I didn’t know what to do.
Guess there’s no breakfast today-
What can I say?
The morning grind
Too early – Too soon.
Rolling out of bed
Can’t find a…damn it.

I think it gives E.E. Cummings a run for his money.
Until next time~

P.S. I'm going to include little sketches of my outfits in my posts from now on, I think. It's fun and cutesy, and gives me something to do when I should be paying attention in Chemistry class.
Preview of my latest outfit, anyone?
