Dear Raymi,

I’ve been reading your blog for only a few weeks, and I haven’t left you any comments, but I felt compelled to write you for no good reason. I was visiting a friend one weekend and she got weird and started checking blogs when she was tired of listening to me, so I was like “What the hell?” And when she stopped responding to me altogether, I pretended to take an interest in what she was looking at.

I asked her a few vague questions and she said “This is Raymi. She gets like a million hits a day, but her boyfriend’s hot and she reminds me of you.” So. Someone is like me out there?

Naturally I started semi-stalking you- at first to see what my friend thought of me. Later desperately seeking something we have in common. And still later, I’m just kind of addicted to reading about… well… I guess nothing really?

I think what finally drove me to write you is to say that no, we’re not really alike. Or, at least, aside from carrying on functioning relationships while also being awesome at drinking, we don’t have a whole lot in common (from what one can tell through a blog anyway.) But I wanted to let you know that I love your writing style, because a lot of the time I feel like it’s how I think.
And I also wanted to say that I think you must be a really special person if in your daily thoughts on the world, it’s so obvious exactly how sweet and thoughtful you are.

I guess, I just wish that I knew more people like you in my actual life. Because I kinda think we could be friends.

I hope you’re having a good day!

-Molly
