Trumped! November 09, 2005 |
We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Can there every truly be love without trust?
What has he done, in their past, to prove himself so unworthy of trust? Is he a lowdown, dirty, cheatin' dog?
dear travis, you're cool :]. but not cool enough for me to spend capital letters on your name. Sorry. Love, Sara
sara is the queen of non sequitors.
sara and her love are hovering over a bottomless pit
capital letters won't save her
Again, another broken hearted woman, unable to trust the men she encounters.
Truly, truly sad....
Travis is a cool kid, and Sara's a geeky girl. He really does love her more than anything, but she'll ruin it because she'll never believe that someone like him could truly want to be with someone like her.
By God...Effie...I think you've got it!!!!
"I know you'll treat me like crap on dirt. I love you so."
Brilliant.
"Cool," she say; grins :]
Ick.
Girls who dot their i's with hearts
Seldom share their private parts.
Girls who draw emoticons
Seldom let you past the mons.
Dump Sara, Travis. Keep on truckin',
And find some other girl for....um...lovin'.
I think Effie's got it, spot on. And that last line? If this is a highschool or junior high note, that last line will send him packing, which is just as well for Sarah.
Sarah: Chin up! Go to counseling, whatever it takes, get your self esteem back! You are beautiful inside and out and you shouldn't have to go around with that "is he or isn't he cheating" worry eating your stomach alive like acid. You are worth a faithful boyfriend!
oh, and Gleek: Ugh. I hope your poem was a joke. It was cute, but oh so mean.
I could paper the walls of my house with the notes like this that I find on the floors of my high school. But instead I send them to Found!
I hope Sara's life turns out better than this note foretells.
Sometimes I think text-message kids never turn their heads rightways...
The sideways emoticons always remind me of a book of Ursula K. Le Guin's about a futuristic California society where people have gone back to the land. Their way of designating materialistic,not-in-touch-with-nature types is to say their heads are "not on rightways" and they turn their heads kind of like this emoticon to express that idea.
Maybe poor Sarah did give Travis this note, and he threw it down on the sidewalk. Kind of reminds me of the chihuahua card given to another Travis (at least I *assume* it was another Travis, it may have been the same one). The puppy card was *also* thrown on the sidewalk.
Travis is mean-spirited and tosses declarations of love on the street. In the UK that makes him a right tosser! XO
what book is that, orinoco? i've read a lot of her stuff.
dear travis,
you're cool :]
sometimes i feel like i can't trust you to love me. i cheat on you more than you'll ever know.
love,
sara
at least she got the right "you're"
Once Sara finds more self-esteem she'll discover that you really can trust the right person.
seriously, it freaks me out that the kids of today (wow, do I sound old, or what?) can't even make a smiley face right side up !!!
haha! Nice observation, yummy!
Sara. You're sooo PATHETIC!!! As Nancy would say.
Anyway, I was almost brainwashed (by the American Apparel ad) into thinking that I need to get some of those knee high socks. But I found out that they actually sell thigh high socks. Thigh high socks. After all this time on FOUND, I'm actually tempted to buy something from A.A.
Talk about a back-handed love note!
Hmmmm.. maybe if I sandwich my thoughts on Travis being a cheating bastard between two compliments he won't notice I've insulted his integrity?
Mona Lisa, the book was called "Always Coming Home." I liked it, being the only UKLG novel I ever read (or had access to. There's not a lot of novels on the Common.) It had recipes in the back, of all things.
Sara, I know a Travis, and believe me, he's not worth it. If your Travis turns out snything like this Travis did, RUN!!!!
Kind of weird. I know a couple named Sarah and Travis.
AH... the epic saga of Sarah and Travis... We should all write a story about this lovely snapshot of teenage life. So far I am surmising that the "your cool" part was in response to a note from Travis, meaning "it's ok"; "all's clear"; "you're not in the dog house". There was an incident beforehand and he wrote a sort of "explanation" of his actions to reassure her. The next part is not a non sequitor, but her own explanation for why she caused the drama earlier. Been in that scene before?
Sigh... one thing I DON'T miss about being a teenager.
Travis. He's so cool. He's a really great guy. He's awesome. A great catch. Loveable. Very, very loveable. Sweet too! But, oh yeah, he can't be trusted. But other than that he's a great guy! Really!
Sara's only fooling herself.
my boyfriend is a travis. his ex wife is a sara. he is cool :] he never cheated on sara though, and i can't imagine that she ever thought he would. so leave travis alone sara! he's mine now.
Obviously Travis has done SOMETHING that gave Sara the indication that he's capable of cheating.
Sara here's some advice I can give from a personal experience...
If he has a girlfriend & cheats on her with you he can not be trusted. You are not the exception to the rule no matter what he says.
I had to learn that one the hard way.
Seriously who writes out emoticons? Kids these days.
I love you but I dont' trust you. Where have I heard that before?
Bottom line:
-I'm pretty sure you're cheating on me
-I mean nothing to you
-I'm the dirt beneath your fingernails
Oh yeah..
I-LOVE-YOU
I feel like I know who wrote this note. There's a Sara and Travis pairing at my school... Sara is the type to write a note like this and Travis is the type to cheat...
