dear liz...
So, here's a little thing I've come up with from question 100 on the previous meme, which asks you to give your character some advice.

Have your character write something like a Dear Abby letter, like those advice columns you see in magazines and newspapers. Then you answer it and try to give them some advice that way. That way, you have a clear idea of what the problem is and how to do something about it.

I did one for an example. Comment on this entry to request a character for me to write a letter for. Note that not all of them have issues (JT, for example), so try to keep that in mind when you pick one!


I feel like I could have been a bit wittier with the way I phrased all of that, but I just got done watching Shortbus for the second time, Wendy Darling is making me cry, and I ate entirely too much sugar today.

Dear Liz,

I never though I'd be writing one of these letters. I mean, I'm supposed to be self-actualized, right? That's how I tell everyone else to be. It's the one thing I pride myself on that isn't completely vain (and everyone else likes my hair, too, so... whatever). Anyway, I'm getting off the point.

So there's this boy, right? And he's sort of naïve and silly and weirdly cute, I guess. Anyway, he asked me out towards the end of the semester, so we went out a few times-- like friends, sort of, on my end, since I knew he liked me but he's... well I can't say his name here, because how many Roswels crap it's very uncommon. Suffice to say he's not my type. Or so I thought. And I've kissed him three times and I feel like he doesn't get it. He just got all weird and depressed when I went home for the summer. And now I don't know what to do. Should I call, should I visit, should I wait and see if he does something? God, I'm so retarded I sound like Regan.

Help, please.

Sincerely,

Baffled by Boy

Dear Baffled,

It seems like you've already established yourself as the dominant figure in the relationship, so it looks like you're going to have to be the one to make the first move. He might be in the same situation as you are, considering how you described him as 'naïve.' If you think you like him, you need to be responsible for your own happiness and take charge of your life. If you are as self-actualized as you proclaim yourself to be--which I'm not sure you are, since you're writing to me--this shouldn't be that much of a problem.

Give him a call or shoot him an e-mail every once in a while, just to make him aware that you're still around, still care about him.

Stop worrying. Things like this have a way of working out for the best.

Sincerely,
Liz
