I made friends and enemies at the post office today.
The postmaster kept giving me the wrong amount of stamps to put on my letters and I had to keep going back, and he kept yelling at me throw the bars asking, "what!? what!?" and it got so ridiculous, all I could do was laugh at the situation. People don't care about waiting in line, right? So 3 trips, and I have to elbow people in the gut each time just to maintain my place in the mail line and not get pushed further and further back and I just can't stop laughing and everyone is staring at the stranger who is laughing by herself in a mail line.
But I make a friend, I forgot his name as soon as he told me, and he helps me count all of the stamps and make sure it is all the right amount. Funny enough, a guy on a motorcycle rides up to us, says "Hello Allyn" and I have forgotten who this person is as well but I pretend like we are best friends anyways and we are all talking and I met them both in completely different situations, but they are best friends and roommates and very nice guys.
I hope I get to hang out with them more, as long as they don't turn out to be creepy Indian guys.
They have a knack for doing that.
So, those of you who receive mail from me - all of those stamps: I licked every single one of them myself. and I did it for 6 letters. I hope you like your letters, because I love the letters you have sent me.
For the rest of you, I know you read this because it tells me when it is viewed.
I am in India, but that doesn't mean I am beyond reach. I like hearing from all of you, whether it is an email or a comment or a fb message. The only people I have been in contact with constantly would be my parents.
I like to think that if any of you went away, I would do a much better job of staying in touch with you than any of you do with me.
It really truly sucks to always hear your roommate talking to friends from back home, not just her parents, and knowing that she has friends at home that care that she is gone and will be there when she gets back.
Today has been a lonely day.
