Dear Uncle Sam,
By the time you read this, I'll be eating myself to death at a McDonald's restaurant.
I'm sorry for leaving you this way, but it's not like the world isn't going to end on December 21, 2012 anyway.
I know this might seem like a letter of indulgence
to you, seeing as we made all those plans to alphabetize our combined compact disc collections someday, but I just don't see things working out that way.
I'm sorry about this — mostly. I just need more out of this relationship. Financially, emotionally, sexually, intellectually. Everythingually.
I want to tell you that I think you are a Cylon imposter, but I don't think we're right for each other.
First of all, we're not really compatible. You are nothing,
and I am a Mousketeer.
You like wearing my knickers on your noggin, carving CD's into lethal shurikens with which to... kill people, and smelling other people's fingers,
and I'm just not sure I can ever share your joy in those things.
How can two people so different ever make it for the long haul? I think we should date everyone else in the world, just to find out the answer — or at least I should, you have no hope on that score.
But I want you to know that I'll think of you whenever I watch Aphex Twin's music video for Windowlicker and the "hot babe" turns around.
I'd really like us to become that kind of insufferable cinemagoers who've read the plot in advance and sit and yell out spoilers throughout the film to the annoyance of everyone else,
if that's okay with you. I think we can do it.
We had some good times, but then I woke up and realised that it was just a dream.
Take care of yourself and never forget your true place in life (which is at my feet, groveling in abject obedience).
Seize the day (since tomorrow will be your last day alive),
~ Dalai Llama.
P.S. This is what the alphabet would look like without Q and R. D.S.
