Next month, there is going to be a dance, so I'll have a chance to see Madeleine. She turned 16 last month, so I'm going to give her a necklace (I think I already told you). I couldn't sleep tonight, so I started thinking about the dance and Madeleine. Then, I got out of bed got on my computer and wrote a poem that I'm going to give to her with the necklace, even though I know that is the worst thing I could possibly do, it's not only cheesy, but quite creepy as well considering how few times we've met. Maybe I'm just being overly critical, so I'll let you decide.

As I wait to arrive at the dance,

I worry and stress.

When I see you standing there, though,

Laughing, talking to your friends,

Smiling with your beautiful smile,

I can’t worry,

I can’t be stressed,

Because you’re there.

OH, MAN! Looking back at it, it is the sappiest thing I ever read. I feel 45% less manly now because I wrote that. I'm going to go modify my hose to dispense nacho cheese while I suckle the fangs of venomous snakes and fill out a form to change my middle name to Hoss (you get the reference?).

Okay, Emily and Val, if a boy who you only met and danced with a few times gave you a necklace and that poem for your birthday, what would you do? I'm going to ask one other female friend... okay, fine, my sister, but whatever. Then, I'm going to use all three to determine more or less how she might respond. First off, you are awesome at writing poetry.

In that situation my brain would probably shut down from how sweet and thoughtful that is, but I would be happy beyond all recognition. Hmm... if you and Alex don't work out*, maybe when the age difference wouldn't make it kinda awkward and neither of us are in a relationship, if we're still in touch, I'll write you a poem like that. Of course, I'll have A LOT more material to use for yours.

Of course, the height difference would make it a little awkward. The doctor says I should be six foot, but I have some trouble believing it. Even if I do end up that tall, there would be a five inch height difference between us.

By the way, do you find it awkward for me to say crap like that? Honestly, if you KNOW you'll never want to be with me, I REALLY want you to tell me, because there is still some glimmer of hope in my heart, but, if it's certain that it'll be extinguished, I'd want it to be while you're in a relationship and, consequently, when I'm not actively chasing after you, because it would be a lot easier then.

I don't find it awkward. I actually find it very sweet.
 * I'm very split on whether I think you two will get married (and stay married) or not because, you know, high school relationships very rarely work out, but, then again, you two seem meant for each other (though, no offense to Alex, you are a bit out of his league [though, I guess in every relationship, there is one person who... what's the word... "marries up," as HIMYM puts it]).

I'm not really sure how Alex and I will turn out. If we did break up though, you would probably be one of the first people I go to for comfort. You are nice without being all Disney style and genetic. You can make me laugh when I am having a bad day. Just now your words warmed my heart. I find you a person that one can only meet once in a life time. Thanks! When I read that last sentence, tears started to well up in my eyes.

Also, you didn't say there wasn't a chance, so HOPE CAN LIVE ON FOR... hmm... I never thought of a ship for us... I would make one myself, but (1) it's bad luck and (2) I sorta torture Jack and Val with Valajack, so I think one of them deserves the honor. val will never notice me When I said tears started to well up in my eyes before, it was like a bit in one eye, but that TRULY made tears well up. That's so depressing. My gosh, now that I know you actually do like her, I will not rest until you two are together... (yawn)... (6 hours later)... what? Oh, darn, I rested before you two are together... I failed you (sniffle). Anyway, I'll just have to talk you up to her and... oh, wait, I guess she'll probably read this... YOU SAW NOTHING! Also, what do you mean she'll never notice you?! I'm pretty sure it would impossible for her to be part of this conversation without noticing you at some point.
