Well, like I said, I got the note that Larry (the freak) wrote me. It was in
\na sealed envelope marked “JOANNA.” The letter inside is scrawled in pencil
\non a piece of notebook paper. The date is stamped at the top with the stamp
\nthey use in the library to mark books being checked out. Here’s what it
\nsays:<\/p>\n
Joanna <-- Is that how it is?\n\n First of all, _I_ don't even know why I'm writing this. I guess cuz our\nperson to person conversation got thrown out the window. Look, I'm writing\nthis in the most sincere and humble way I know how. I don't know if guys are\nall over you all the time but I was just trying to be nice. I'm not from\nthis country and I don't have many friends, aquintancees <-? plenty but\nfriend definetely few. I swear I'm not trying to come on to you, but your\nway of carrying yourself is very likable. I know you probably think I'm an\nidiot but all I want is cool friends and if I only had a chance to prove\nmyself maybe you'd agree to be my friend too. Joanna, I don't know if you\nwere mad that night at someone or whatever, but I apologize if it was\nsomething I said. All I want is to be your friend. I even checked your\ntelephone #, but I'd never invade privacy that way. I'm not about that. I\nhope that you can sway your past feelings towards me and give this kid a\nbreak. Well, I hope you haven't ripped this up by now and if you see me\ncross your path I'd deeply apreciate a smile, hi, whatever.\n LARRY\n\nHopefully, I got all the spelling errors and stuff included. When I got to\nthe part about my telephone number, I just started laughing loudly in the\ncomputer lab where I was reading it this afternoon.\n\nI dunno. I indentify with freaks for some reason. Maybe because I've done\nthe pink hair and nose ring thing for a day before. Maybe because I admire\nthem. Maybe because I really don't fit in myself. Maybe because I am one?\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
