caraeileenWrite one statement to 10 different people on your friends list. Never tell which one is for whom.

1. as long as you are running towards opportunity, and not just away from adversity, it's a great thing, and i wish you every success. on the other news this week, i feel much better, happier, relaxed. thank you.

2. i really enjoy your company, and i hope to get to hang out more often. we're almost neighbors, after all. and there's the Sondheim. i'm in favor of more Sondheim. with chocolate.

3. don't obsess over the time you've lost with him. take pleasure in your children, and know that even though times are hard now, breaking up was the best thing for all involved. the money is going to work itself out.

4. i will never shop at Safeway again. i'll never know all the issues involved, but the fact remains that they're cleaning house before the strike and you got caught in it. be glad that you're gone. i'm keeping an eye out for job signs in my neighborhood.

5. i think you're right that the self-promotion could be disastrous. set an example, and don't let it get petty, and the rest will follow. at least it's an attempt to be more of a professional organization and less of a club.

6. i'm excited and scared for you as you start to explore the "second half." i think you're a warm wonderful person, and i'm glad to have had the opportunity through retreat to get to know you better. i hope we can spend some time with the "Once More With Feeling" songbook. and that the hot tub gets fixed.

7. i'm sorry that we've only met in person a couple times and i hope you can fulfill your dreams for work and personal life. you just seem so great that i wonder if i could start a business importing single straight women from back east, since i know nothing but lonely men here.

8. i could touch your hair all day.

9. i hope that when you do leave Seattle, you can finally leave the ex behind. i know it's a huge step, but i think you'll both be healthier for it. i also hope i get to take the ferry to visit you and not the annoying car trip.

10. i think you are adorable, and i hope you can find yourself a healthy relationship and a healthy self-image. i'm looking forward to spending more time with you this year, since even though we won't be in the same section, we get to be section leaders together. yay,

it's interesting to me that

caraeileen starts with "you" and i start with "i". illustrative.
