			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here and there I spend a lot of time reading other peoples blogs, not because I really enjoy them<em> (well I enjoy a few)</em>, but mostly to make sure no one is stealing my Genius wit <em>(aka. my amazing humour and my great puns!)</em>  Cause then I’d have to kick some serious something-something, and although that would make for some great blog posts, it wouldn’t make for such a great police record.</p>
<p>One of my fellow bloggers and twitter friends has an installment on her site, which are letters <a href="http://melissabxoxo.blogspot.com/search/label/Letters%20to%20my%20future%20husband" target="_blank">to her future husband</a>.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s not what I&#8217;m going to do here <em>(that would be stealing&#8230;.sorta)</em>. As much as I love the idea of writing stuff down and putting it out there in the world, the letter I want to write will indeed be read by it&#8217;s intended recipient.</p>
<p>SIDEBAR: My one and only letter to a future husband would read something like this:  Wow, you aren’t a douche bag, which is kind of nice. Ring size 6.</p>
<p>This letter is meant for YOU. Yup, you !</p>
<p>        Dear my lovely, messed up, crazy bunch of readers,</p>
<p>I was thinking about you today, as I was gasping for breath at the gym. You see my friend &#8216;Babs&#8217; is always yelling at me when we go out about how there are certain stories I have not shared with you.<em>(‘Babs’ doesn’t really yell, but the conversations comes up once we are sauced, thus, she speaks about 3 octaves above her normal voice.)</em></p>
<p>Since I don’t know your ring size as a collective, I thought I would give you this promise ‘letter’. Feel free to print it out and wrap it around your finger, and think pleasant thoughts about me!</p>
<p>I, Lost Plum, promise to provide you with more blog posts that fall under the ‘a long-long time ago!’ category, and bring some stories out the closet.          <em>~L.P</em></p>
<p>GOAL: I&#8217;ll try to keep the humour on the down low because I keep getting comments, emails, and twitter messages about people reading and spitting up all over their screens. I feel bad about the possibility of wrecking others computers. </p>
<p>FACT: Mama plum always says &#8220;yeah but EVERYONE has a blog, that&#8217;s nothing special!&#8221; So using the term &#8216;a fellow blogger&#8217; is something she wouldn&#8217;t approve of, because I might as well say a fellow human being.</p>

<p>I keep seeing your ads, and although it makes me want to run further and further from your stores I want to know when you are going to start realizing my many uses.</p>
<p>I can be turned, switched, converted, and manipulated in a whole bunch of different ways.  I&#8217;m actually more then just one &#8220;piece&#8221; and I have countless ways to wear me.</p>
<p>Come check out MY many colours,</p>
<p>Plum</p>
<p>P.S. Scrunches!!?? REALLY!!???</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear my previous blog server,</p>
<p>I know it&#8217;s been a while since we last communitcated, but I just need to say a few thing before I go.</p>
<p>I thought we had a good thing going over the past few years.  You, Me, My Mac, our followers&#8230;good times.   But being the girl I can be I guess I was wrong.  I mean I was able to look over the fact that you paid more attention to the girls with a bigger subscriber base, or that you&#8217;d need scheduled &#8220;maintaince&#8221; time to your self. I guess I just don&#8217;t know what I did to be treated this way.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m hurt inside. I just needed to tell you that.  You breaking up with me, and dumping all my stuff into one big mess of a file, and sending it in a breakup email, was harsh and uncalled for.  I thought you were better then that.</p>
<p>I was always here for you, and it would have been nice to know that we were having issues. Sure, everyone has their problems, but I thought we were different then other couples.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know if I can ever forget you, and am trying really hard to forgive you for the pain you are causing me right now.  I&#8217;d like to hope one day we could be friends, but I know that can never happen.</p>
<p>Take care of yourself, and know that I loved you,</p>
<p>plum</p>
<p>P.S. I&#8217;ve started seeing a new guy, his name is wordpress&#8230;.his dashboard is bigger then yours&#8230;.so *BLOG*-U!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Birth Control Advertisers,</p>
<p>We all know how putting hot woman in commercials bait men into thinking that hot woman/sex come hand-in-hand with your product.</p>
<p>So why don&#8217;t you do this with advertising for &#8220;women&#8221;.  Why do your Birth Control commercials not show sexy or hot woman in them? </p>
<p>You need to start  making more Birth Control commercials with woman who are actually thinner and prettier then me!  I&#8217;m serious.</p>
<p>When I watch your commercials and see the &#8220;average&#8221;, and lets be honest usually &#8220;old and less then average&#8221; woman telling me how she is having sex, it just makes me angry at your product, because for some reason she can get laid but I can&#8217;t.  </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t want to take the birth control that the &#8220;old average&#8221; women take, I want the one that the hot sexy models take! The ones I believe are actually having sex all the time, and they haven&#8217;t been knocked up.</p>
<p>Stop making me feel like something is wrong with me, because apparently the ladies in your commercials are needing to protect themselves, yet I am finding this difficult.</p>
<p>Make us believe again that only hot sexy people have sex, because then when I do have it, I feel hot and sexy!!</p>
<p>Thank you,</p>
<p>Ready to Pill-Pop Plum</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My dearest Mr. Passport,</p>
<p>After playing hard to get for WAY too long you have made your face seen to me! I want to thank you for coming back into my life only 15 hours before we are set to have a magical adventure together.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m so happy you will now be coming with me.  I hope that you can forgive me for whatever I did to you.  If I was mean, or I threw to many things ontop of you, I&#8217;m sorry.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m very excited for our trip and the many exciting times we have coming to us!<br />
Soon to be airplane bound (with you)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My dearest deity of the hangover,</p>
<p>If you could be so kind as to spare me the hangover that I so rightly deserve today, it would be much appreciated.</p>
<p>I know that after spending my entire day drinking for hours and staying out well past 4 a.m. on the night before I have an 9 a.m. meeting was not one of my better choices in life.  However, we all make mistakes, right?</p>
<p>I know I&#8217;ve been bad and deserve the wrath you bring, but I was hopping you might consider rescheduling my hangover? Saturday morning? Or perhaps Sunday? It would be much appreciated on my end (and on others)</p>
<p>Thanks! I owe you a drink!</p>
<p>with love,</p>
<p>plum</p>

<p>I hope in hell you are consistently bombarded with text message that are vague and questioning in tone and meaning, and you are whipped into translating them for eternity.</p>
<p>Messages like, &#8220;maybe i&#8217;ll catch you later&#8221;, &#8220;could be fun&#8221;, &#8220;another time, LOL.&#8221;,. ect.</p>

I was thinking today as I left your place that where else can someone get almost an entire winter wardrobe for under $400, and where else can I get stuff to add to my winter wardrobe, and that tank-top in 5 different colours for under $400.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear H&amp;M,</p>
<p>I was thinking today as I left your place that where else can someone get almost an entire winter wardrobe for under $400, and where else can I get stuff to add to my winter wardrobe, and that tank-top in 5 different colours for under $400.</p>
<p>However, I can find a place&#8230;it&#8217;s called H&amp;M.  Only at H&amp;M can i get that stuff cheaper/or get more.  But you&#8217;re H&amp;M you say.  Well yes! But when you travel to this country you become nothing more then an overpriced American hooker. (you are better then that!)</p>
<p>When you are in Europe, yes you are cheap (you&#8217;re like Walmart cheap) but you are still respectable, and in a sense respected, but when you travel over here to the USA, you lose all your self respect!</p>
<p>Thus I don&#8217;t understand peoples obsession with you.  Why are you so loved that people flock to see you, come in and riffle through you like the golden ticket is taped inside a $15 cardigan.  </p>
<p>You become dumpy, dirty, crowed, and over priced when you visit us here in America.  </p>
<p>I can never truly love you when you are here. I miss the H&amp;M Europe I feel in love with.  The one where yes your prices are cheaper (then here) but it&#8217;s still a pleasant clean experience inside.</p>
<p>Take better care of yourself, get your self respect back, I&#8217;ll be waiting for you!</p>
<p>And tell the middle-aged, balding, security guards I don&#8217;t plan on stealing the $15 cardigan, even if I could get it for $5 in Europe (with exchange)</p>
<p>simply, plum</p>
