Letter to Alice K. or "Sure I Like You but I am Not A Freak"

So my Mom and Dad are moving and selling the family house :^( As part of this effort my Dad has been going through old papers and throwing things out. He says to me when I go home that he has some papers from college he wants me to go through and throw out if I don't need them. I said to him that it was all probably junk and that we should just throw it all out. He says to me "Well here is one piece of paper that will be worth a lot on eBay" and hands me a letter. I'm like "What's this?" As I begin to read it I realize it's a letter I typed up one summer while working for my Dad in his office to this chick Alice in HS that I had a huge crush on. Actually, if your reading this Alice I still think your the bomb, if I lived around you I would certainly try to take you out or something, but alas I am Rochester and you are who knows where. Anyway, it's a funny letter that's not bad for a 16 year old, but I though I would post it (or re-type) it here for your enjoyment. As usuall all spelling and grammar mistakes have been preserved for authenticity.

Dear Alice,
How is your summer vacation so far. Mine is okay except for the fact that I have to go to summer school and Arabic school everyday. Enough with the formalities. I bet you are thinking about a couple of questions right now. Let me answer the ones that I think that you would be thinking of. Where did I get your address. Do not worry, I am not some kind of stalker who looked up your address in the phone book, somebody mentioned that they had your address and I asked them for it and I though that it might come in handy some time so that I could write you a letter which is what I am doing right now. What is the Purpose of this letter? Weel except for the obvious reasons that I just wanted to say what is up, I never had an actual chance to say something to you. This is really an apology letter in disguise. Apology for what? You may ask yourself, well this is an apology for making Nick (last name left out to protect the innocent) (I am sure you know him) ask you all those questions about if you were single, and if you could go out with a certain person that likes you. It was me that liked you and I just did not have the guts to tell you myself. I heard that for a little while you that I was obssesed with you which is not the truth. Sure I like you but I am not a freak. Maybe it is because I called you so much that you thought I was, but in actuality I just like to talk to you not for any particular reason just because. I have had this on my mind for a long time and I thouight that this letter might not be the appropriate way to say this but I least I am saying it. Sort of. I hope you read this letter in good faith and don't think any less of me for writing it, I realize know that i am just a good or maybenot so good friend but whatever you take me for I can accept it. I you feel like calling me ever my number is at the bottom of this letter. Have fun the rest of your vacation.

Sincerly Yours,

Nice huh?! Yep the raging emotions of a 16 year old right there. She was hot though obviously since it has been almost 10 years and I still sometimes think about her. All the same, this was like a form letter and it had all this personal crap in it, very funny divergence. Hope you enjoyed my embarassment. Oh, and since my Dad had this I can only assume I never sent this letter, or re-wrote it and sent a better copy (either one would be ok). But I wonder if I ever did mail them.
