#1 better on paper

The Fact that she closes with “Love Molly” and a rainbow unicorn makes this PAN even better.

All the best hate mail is signed with “love”

Tyler? Where he from? He is Serb, no? Why he has Lisa Frank? The paper — she’s greasy.

Molly: you, me, sleep, yes? Unicorns. I love. No shell, like turtle. Big horn. He pokes. I poke you.

Dear Tyler,
I’m sorry if my turtle wasn’t pretty enough. I started with blue and green but it seemed to need red. Lots of red.

I’m a little weak from all the blood loss, so I think I’ll just tape it to your door and go lie down. We probably won’t see each other anymore.

Love, Mol

I’m wondering how old these people are 8 or 9 maybe? I remember having super cute stationary like that when I was that age. Molly, a guy who writes on stationary by Lisa Frank is going to try and wear your underwear when your not around, so kudos for dumping him. Wondering what those oily marks are but maybe I shouldn’t ask.

  You’re just prejudiced against the exothermic. Just because they can’t produce their own body heat, it doesn’t mean they can’t feel. Okay, they probably aren’t complex enough to feel emotions, but the vertebrates can at least feel pain!

  I believe that you mean endothermic. Exothermic means that energy [heat] is released to the surroundings. Endothermic means that energy from the surroundings to the system. eg: a turtle sitting in the sun to absorb the light

- #16.6 aaa
  
  No, I mean exothermic. There are two definitions of exo/endothermic, the chemical/physical and the biological. Your definition is the chemical/physical, mine is the biological. Endothermic animals produce heat from their metabolic processes, exothermic (or ectothermic) animals must acquire their heat from their environment.

Y’know, that last note really isn’t that PA. All my communication with my SOs in the past has been via tiger (or heart or dragon or Invader Zim or whatever the anime character du jour is)-emblazoned note. I mean, it’s healthy to make clever quips (or just scream at them) at their expense in a note written on little girl stationary posted in a public place for all to see, right? I mean, there’s some other reason why I’m living by myself with my trained rats, right?

Tyler’s response is so catty, I can almost feel the lisp. Plus, the guy is named Tyler and it would appear that he owns at least one prissy notebook. Something tells me Tyler stood Molly up in favor of a little guy on guy action. Totally not gay, of course, but sometimes a dude just wants to wrap his lips around another dude’s penis.
