Allie Song, you are super-smart and gorgeous too. Let's just go with it.

Lucie Lebel always knows I'll be her bitch, though her ability to out drink me (as learned from over three years in the army) made me appear the most desperate of the two. She rocks, and she happens to be an attractive blond.

Ellen Stenning I fell in love with you when we were 6.

(Goddamn, miss one fucking parenthesis...)Bevin isn't in Fugazi, although if she were, she'd be the cutest member. Even cuter then Guy.

Joanna Fell, I've been in love with you for 5 years now, but I was never able to say it to your face. I haven't a clue where you are now, but I would just like to say - marry me!

― Chris Lyons, Sunday, 28 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Josh Broadbent, you were the bomb. But I don't want kids with you.

Todd McGeachy, I'm sorry I hung up on you that final time we spoke.

I'll never forget you.

This thread makes me feel sad and pensive. I hope you're all happy.......... : )

This is one of those things I'd rather not tip my hat to. This is very, very depressing.

Les Dennis, I know you only put your arm around me while the clock went down in the final double money round but if you asked a hundred people how I felt they'd say something beginning with h.

Hey, my old penpal Linda Cuckovich just got in touch with me after her father found my mention in the "Ceci n'est pas une lettre" thread! Thank you, ILE. And if you should ever read this, Jay Beasley, I really don't need the 100 bucks back, so don't let that throw you off.

― Arthur, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Jonathan Rhys Meyers, I've never met you but I want your beautiful body. (There's no one I actually know whose full name I'd put out on the Internet. But Claire, write back already!)

― Maria, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Heartless Google never even indexed this thread!

― dope, Sunday, 12 January 2003 21:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Do you know that I actually *did* get back in contact with the "great lost love of my life" because one of his friends googled looking for him? So thank you, ILX for bringing Sanford Santacroce back. Even if we are never going to have each others' babies. ;-)

― kate, Sunday, 12 January 2003 21:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Melanie Fowke, it's been AGES! I had your number but lost it...um, seven years ago. (sorry.) Anyway, you're in England (I think), I'm in New York...but I can always visit! (I have lots of English people I can hang out with if I go there thanks to this board!) Anyway...GET IN TOUCH! Hope you're well. Take care, Michaelangelo

Disturbingly, I can't really think of anyone. How odd. The childbearing thing would be out anyway, but I can't think of anyone with whom I've lost touch with whom I'd be really keen to get in touch again. Friend, girlfriend, crush, anyone.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 12 January 2003 21:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I wouldn't really want to get in touch with the one I mentioned either. The message is - no regrets.

S***** L********: you wrote funny letters, then they stopped coming.

It's been over a year and Claire didn't write back. This thread doesn't work.

Brad Morrison , you of once Absolute a Go Go Records, I still feel like I owe you a bunch of thanx. The music was good, man (and my son just might still have that yo-yo somewhere) Would be really great to hear from you after all these... 9? ...10? years...

Bryn Keller - I know we've a lot of water under that damned bridge, but you were always my best friend and I miss you.

I googled my husband's name and found a pic of him! In his last year of high school.

HELLO #### I AM GOING TO BEAR YOUR SECOND CHILD IN A MONTH'S TIME!

― nathalie, Friday, 21 September 2007 11:45 (eighteen years ago)

I changed my mind about Bryn - he's sort of a douche these days.

― luna, Friday, 21 September 2007 16:31 (eighteen years ago)

Sarah Bernstein - there is no way you will ever find this because your name is shared by thousands of people, but I have always regretted that when you visited me in my room while I was listening to Ornette Coleman records it didn't occur to me that you might have some other reason besides late 50s jazz to be there.

― Oilyrags, Friday, 21 September 2007 22:01 (eighteen years ago)

Hey Jana Wilson - not the one who wrote "Decorate Your Home for Christmas" or the games developer, but the one who used to live in NYC and work at the MTR, where are you?

― Ben Boyerrr, Thursday, 27 September 2007 17:05 (eighteen years ago)

Hey Cyn,

Sorry I can't make this any more specific. KJ never gave me your last name like he was supposed to.

I don't wanna bear your children or anything, but I miss you and your tattoos and your energy. Wanna know you're still alive. Wanna smoke hookah and make jokes and whatnot. I really hope you're still out there.

Justin

Yo Mike Samsel. I really hope Samsel is your last name. Also hope that your Marine reserve term was up before we invaded Iraq. Hold out a little bit of hope that Blink 182 is not your favorite band these days.
