In the 6th grade we made time capsules and canned them in #10 cans. I opened mine several years ago, but then put it away. I rediscovered it again today! Some people took more time planning their items; mine just came from my desk at school. There were still some awesome treasures inside like notes from friends, a few short books I had written, and the crowning jewel- a letter to myself!
The letter contains some of my favorite things, favorite friends, and LIES! Why in the world I would write lies to myself is beyond me. Bless my 6th grade soul. Here is what it says (all capitalizations, spelling, and underlining are as written):
Myself,
I HATE ELEMENTRY!!! I have 2 more weeks of school left. I can't wait to get to Jr. High!

J.T.T. on Home Improvement, is very popular right now. He is VERY fine. My boyfriend's name is Shad. He lives up in Island Park, by our cabin. He looks sort of like J.T.T. except with short hair, and brightblue eyes. He's Just as fine as J.T.T., almost.
Why don't I describe myself, I'm 5 ft. tall, I have brown eyes, and I consider myself, cool, beutiful, and friendly. My love is my rabits. Their names are Daisy, and Rosie. I used to have two other rabbits named Honey, and Shelbe, but they got killed by a dog. My har is about 4 inches past my shoulders, and I can't get my ears peirced until I'm 16. I want to be a singer when I grow up, and write books in my spare time. I want to have 3 kids, 2 girls, and 1 boy, the girls names are Dawn, and Kennedy, and my boys name Craigen. I have to go so farewell!!!!
Love,
Myself
p.s. The year is 1996!
It's gold, Jerry. Gold!
And to set the record straight- I never had a boyfriend named Shad. Lies!!!
I LOVE IT! and way to know that you would have 2 boys and 1 girl... what the?!?
ReplyDeleteThis is precious Amylee - thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI have loved reading all of your thankful entries. I had to pause here because I swear I was reading my own letter. Also, I think I had a made-up boyfriend that lived in Payson. He was almost as fine as JTT :)
