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.
