Hey there future me!

Do you remember me, the short-twelve-year-old-music-obsessed you? Well, it’s me, talking to you. The me that’s in the future. How crazy does that sound? Anyways. I have some goals I hoped we achieved. One of them is to make the A/B Honor Roll for all 4 quarters. It would be great if we didn’t have a repeat of last year. For our little social goal, it’s to go to at least one extremely good rock concert this year. Lets hope that while you’re reading this, your nodding remembering how much fun you had at that concert and how proud you felt for getting good grades.

I hope you still love Jared Leto and My Chemical Romance. It would be a shame if you didn’t. Remember how you used to annoy your best friends by singing ‘Welcome to the Black Parade’ and then start talking about Jared Leto? Yeah, that was fun wasn’t it? I hope you’re still best friends with Aryn, Sarah, Kadijah, and Miranda. You guys had such a great time going trick-or-treating and having sleepovers. How did the whole Alex Weathers thing work out? Did you ever say yes to him and go out? I hope you did what was best.

By the way, while I, the past you, was writing this letter, I was wearing those flannel pajamas and listening to the Black Parade CD you were so obsessed with. Right now, it’s that song ‘Teenagers’. I know you’re smiling right now. It’s one of your favorite songs on the CD. While you’re reading this, I hope you know that I know a lot of things had to have happened between the time this letter was written and was being read. But if you’re reading it, it must have worked out okay. Like it always does. No matter what happened, I’m sure Mom and Dad still loves you, and so does Hugo. And don’t forget your awesome friends.

Are you still emo-scene? Is your hair still blonde, or did you finally dye it to brown? I have so many questions for you, the future me, but I’m sure Mrs. McGee doesn’t want to read them all.

That reminds me. Do not get detention from Mrs. Howe. We always respect our teachers. And, you only have one more quarter with her, or at least you did when I was writing this. She’s just an old fashioned person who doesn’t grasp the concept of young kids having fun. So don’t be a hero and stand up for your classmates, because you know all that’s going to get you is ASD.

At the moment of this writing, your favorite song was ‘Sleep’ by My Chemical Romance. Your favorite song lyric was ‘It was the roar of the crowd that gave me heartache to sing, it was a lie when they smiled and said you wont feel a thing’, from ‘Disenchanted’ by My Chemical Romance. Your current rock star crush was on Jared Leto from 30 Seconds to Mars. Your dream is to play guitar.

I hope the future is okay, and President Bush hasn’t gotten us killed yet.

SHOTGUN!!

(I hope you guys still do that, you know where you shout shotgun and another one of your friends shouts back wedding. You know, from that Panic! At the Disco song you and Kadijah loved.)

Much love to future me,

Alex ‘Patient’ Harvey
