I doubt you'll remember this but here it is...

Sa...mantha,
mantha,
mantha!
You're the bestest buddy Sammy in the proverbial world!
(& in the mystical land of Aron, too.)
(No way! Yes way! INGWAY!)

My buddy is my buddy is my buddy is Sammy. My buddy Sammy will NOT die in Mexico and I will NOT cry. I will cry if something bad happens to Buddy Sammy. But it wont, so I wont cry...at least not about that. I will cry when I meet Hawk Nelson & I faint (or swoon) over into Jason Dunn's arms. I will cry when he signs my guitar in all 20 colors of the Sharpie rainbow. I will then cry as I purchase a shadowbox in which to place them. I will cry as well when I give my buddy Sammy the blue sharpie with Jason Dunn's fingerprints on it. I will be crying of sheer joy. My buddy will be happy, too, cause she's my buddy, &, to my knowledge, that's what buddies do. In a perfect world, I could get Jason & she could get Daniel & we would all live close to each other somewhere in Minnesota. I love my buddy.

(Not gonna lie, I've been going through some stuff and while I was looking through my many folders, I found my blue folder that you decorated in HN style. Inside, was this lovely, uplifting note that nearly made me cry when I read it because I felt extremely loved...this is that note...This is the note that my Buddy Micaela wrote to me one day long ago that, obviously, still brightens up my day...So, I wanted to say, Thank you, Buddy...Thank you so much...it's a belated thanks, but better late than never, right? Thank you )

haha, awwwwww! i do remember that!! i remember all of that... all those awesome plans we had x).....haha, you've thrown the gauntlet down now....gonna have to find some of those old notes of mine and put them up too x)

haha I felt like the happiest and most loved person ever as I read it...I'm pretty sure I know where two more notes are off the top of my head and I just gotta find all the others x)

it was so funny how much stuff i had forgotten until i read this... all the aron stuff, the obsession with jason dunn signing my guitar x) and all that stuff... its funny how much you can forget when things change over time

haha Yeah, it was like a flood of good memories...I'm really glad I found this letter x)

im glad you found it too...haha, those were the good old days

the good simple days...

haha, yup...what i wouldn't give to go back there for a while...

Yeah... Can I ask you something? More a few somethings?

idk....caaaaaan you? x) yeah, sure

haha no, I cant...I lack that ability x)
It's gonna sound like an interview...so consider it practice for when you're a famous author...can never start training too early, right?

Are you afraid of leaving home? (yes, some of these might be personal ...if you wish to skip, better think of an answer to skillfully get around it like you'll have to do in a real interview )

haha, i will try to answer honestly x)
heck yeah, im scared of leaving home... its gonna be a huge change in schedule and people and everything I'm used to is gonna be different...so that'd be a yes to the first one x).....
are you taking surveys of poor little unsuspecting college students? x) or are you now stalking me as well?

haha, how about both x) surveying and stalking...

alright, so now..uh..well, remember when when we said we should do letters? how i should record my voice and just send it to you? Nothing has changed about all of that, right?

if you want to, sure... i mean, i don't want you to do anything like that because you feel like you have to or anything, and I don't want you to be so wrapped up in staying in touch with me that you miss out on things with your friends at home... does that answer the question/make sense at all?

Nononono, it's not a problem, I'm all for it, really but I didnt want to be a bother to you while you're at college...I dont want to get in your way while you've got a life to life there...

i was just thinking, and with the site and all, itd probably better to write 'letters' on here than manually, it'd save time and stamps, so if thats something you want to do, then have at it

If that would work best for you, then I'd be more than happy to do so if you want...it doesnt really matter to me how we do it...just that we do it...unless it becomes a bother to you..

i can see maybe as time goes on not being able to get on as much, but trust me, this site is like the haven of my busy life... lottsa fun x)

Well, obviously we wouldnt be on as much x) especially when sports roll around for me...which is all school year...yeah...I need to think some of this through...ANYWAYS!

so, I suppose you already answered my next question...you said something on a different post along the lines of "Calm down, we have all summer" and I wanted to know if that meant we were going to stop after summer...I would've cried...

haha, nooooooooo..... ideas don't just stop with the heat, you know x)
i take it im doing rather well with this interview, answering questions before you even ask them

haha yes, you're doing very well~ you'll be ready for any interview when you're famous x)
Which leads to my next question...


Will you forget us small people back home once you're living the 'high' life as a grand author of the amazing series?

haha! yeeeeaaaaahhhh.... high, grand and amazing, how'd you manage to fit all those in one sentence? x)
of course not... 'small people back home' can have a great impact on the writing process and life in general..... (how'm I doin so far?) x)

What can I say? I have a hidden talent x)

well...one can think that you can find better off people to help you with the writting process and life...though one would hope not...it's possible (You're doing great! I wanna be there your real first interview x) )

haha, you know i don't like new people x)

why thank you, im trying hard x) have any harder questions, since i'm doing so well?

haha does harder mean more personal, perhaps? x) if so, then I'd have to think of some...
