To the "Other Chantel"
Jun 12, 2007 Over the past year or so I've received emails from all of your friends. "Please rate your story from Jerimiah. Paco has just added you as a friend". Finally today I received an email for you to verify a story written by your friend Mariah. Honestly, the last year has been tough for me so its been fun to actually vicariously live through you.
You've got an active social life, you have over 400 friends on your social networking service which is not MySpace and all of your friends write the same exact way, in SMS jargon. Even in text messages I write complete sentences, this was one of the clues that led me to believe that I actually didn't set this up myself. I lose track sometimes where I'm at on the internet. When you've reached the end of the internet as many times as I have, getting lost and forgetting where you've left an imprint is an easy thing to do. With over 400 friends on a site that is not MySpace I would assume this happens to you too! So I know you understand.
I thought initially that I would send you an email and make you aware of the fact that you spelled your email wrong and I'm getting your invitations, your flirty chats and your SMS coded messages. I realized that I would have to send that email to myself. Ahh the horror of having to bear the burden of someone elses' social life.
I only have 20 or so friends on my own MySpace page and rarely is there any activity; it screams I'm too old to be here - often people don't bother. The thing is that we all know mailbox space is at a premium. We all know that freedom isn't free; did you know that bandwidth and server space isn't free either? You're probably stressed from all the social engagements and using your Hello Kitty SMS decoder to read messages has to be exhausting.
Finally the bitterness has set in. As my own social life draws to a sad lull I made a drastic decision. I changed your password and deleted your account. Maybe you could use this time to get real friends and learn to write in complete sentences; including learning how to spell your own email address.
I'm not sorry; you'll thank me someday.
