Free Sun Signs by Shelley Hrdlitschka

really thick glasses, which I hate. I’m practically blind, but I guess being albino’s not so bad. Especially when I hear what it’s like to have cancer. It’s weird how we all work so hard to establish our individuality, but basically what we really want is to look like Brad Pitt, right? I’ve actually been thinking about going back to school. Now that I’m older I might be able to handle it better.
    Do you ever wonder why Shari and 2good faked their data? Maybe you should ask them.

    P.S. I’m not sorry I asked how u r!! Thanks for telling me everything. I hope you know I care. And I’m glad you think I’m a “real” person.

Jamie,
    That’s so good that you’re thinking of going back to school. Best to face your fears, right? That’s what everyone keeps telling me.
    I think I will contact Shari and 2good. Thanks. And thanks for caring, and bringing a lump to my throat!
    k.
and NO, I do NOT want to look like Brad Pitt, thank you very much!
And YES, you’re real — in lots of ways — but what I meant was that I’d been doing a lot of writing to imaginary people. Sounds stupid, I know. Long story.

Is your life so dull that the only fun you have is creating online identities?

Ooh, Kaleigh. You’re getting a little snarky! You’re definitely not the sweet little thing i imagined u as. 2 bad. Though maybe now i can re-imagine u as a hot little thing instead. And still hot for me, 2.
    Did i mention i’ve been missing u?

Oh! So you are hiding something. Jamie suggested all of us distantstudybuddies probably are.
    And if I had known you weren’t going to take my project seriously, I could have found someone who would have. Then I’d be able to complete it. Are you even a Leo??
    k.

What difference does it make whether i’m a Leo? Will it change anything in the great scheme of things? i think not. u should take life a little less seriously, Kaleigh.
    And of course blondie’s right. We r all hiding something. Otherwise we’d b out living our lives instead of cowering behind our computer screens.

You might take life a little more seriously if you were in my shoes.
    So why aren’t you out living your life?

Because I’m incarcerated. Imprisoned. Confined. Detained. Locked up. Put away. That’s my excuse. And yours?
    2good
    and if I were in your shoes — girl shoes—I’d definitely be taking life less seriously. How many serious drag queens do you know?

Incarcerated? You expect me to believe that? Right.
    Kaleigh
    who doesn’t know any drag queens, serious or otherwise.
