A Damn Test
FOUND by Amy Seidenwurm in Seattle, Washington
This is the best thing I ever found. I found it outside a youth center in Seattle. I like to imagine young Matt taking hours laboring over this note. I'm not sure if you can tell, but the last rhyme was erased and rewritten many times. Ah...young love. Enjoy!

Haha, he tries so hard to sound "cool".

haha, that's exactly what I was thinking when I read this. He's trying so hard to impress her... but he sounds like a dick.

Oh.. I thought Erin was a guy for some reason.

The worst thing is, he's probably really a nice guy when he's not trying to be cool.
I mean, "Some people say I should go out with you but I don't know..." Jeez! He's so scared of losing 'cred' that he can't say how he really feels!

I remember reaching the age when I realised that being yourself makes so much more sense. Life became a lot easier after that.

I think she should call him.
He sounds sweet and not all that confident, but he is trying to sound like he is very confident.

Come on, Erin. You're not ugly. He's not gay. What more could a girl ask for?

I would like to keep my nuts working as well, Matt. That's why I don't play baseball.

Wow. This kid's a lame-ass.

Rhymes? I don't see any rhymes. Am I blind?

Okay I'm having trouble here:
What does playing baseball have to do with keeping ones nuts intact, working, and not compact? Is he trying to say that baseball players have small packages? Perhaps a steroid reference? I just don't know.

I think it's a sweet note! He wants to ask her out but is trying to figure out how without risking rejection. He blames it on "everyone else" and then asks her what she thinks.

either he didnt get the balls to give it to her, or the chick didnt care for it that much. however she could of just put him on speed dial because every little kid has a cell phone now. i would of kept the note if i were her.

he probably didnt give it to her.

This is so wonderful. Although he uses "your" and "you're" wrong, which I usually hate. The forced coolness is what I love about this.

(Wuz ^ me nutin - any clue what that means?)

I love how the lack of punctuation makes it look like "I gotta go call me"

and fiendish: i'm pretty sure he asks what's up, then answers that there's nothing [nutin] up with him. just my interpretation

I presumed 'nuttin' was a term of endearment.

HAHA ya Toria thats awesome. In the right situation...I guess it could work!

I believe it is: What's up? Me nothing.

LOL Apparently she owns the ugly and she is homeboy. awesome.

Ugh, I hate the "thug" types. And I especially hate when pre-teens think they are thugs.

i think this is something everyone can relate to... come on. that awkward teenage stage when you have "crushes" and you can't ruin your "reputation" by being rejected? You all can criticize all you want but i guarantee that youve all been there before..

Im not sure I would want to date someone who writes letters like this. Maybe it's just me.

Haha, this really is cute and brings back memories of childhood. I can just imagine how excited Erin was...and then wondering what he was talking about. haha

isis in carrollton, tx
i freaking love it.
he sounds like he's in love with her, but he's not sure if she likes him back. and the line about other people saying they should go out, it's like he's trying to save face by saying i don't know but still trying to know what she thinks about it.

i bet erin flipped when she read it. not the bad flipped, the good one.
