Here's the original letter I sent as Jessimica:
From Jessimica to Yusuf
Hello Yusuf!! This is Jessimica!:) Pennis sent me your email address so we could chat a little bit! It looks like he tried to send me a picture, but the thing didn't come through. Pennis can be kinda dumb when it comes to pictures. He told me you live in Nigeria. I'll bet you wear lot of tigerskin clothes and stuff. Anyway, I'll tell you a little about myself since it's my most favorite subject in the world!
My name is Jessimica Teesmay! ha ha like you couldn't guess that one. Anyway, my favorite colour is pink and I just love to go lingeie shopping with my friends! I'm 22 years old and I'm LOVING IT!!! I still have yet to buy my own car, but I think I'll get by with borrowing my friend's car from time to time.
Tonight I'm grinding away at the cover of the BoEF and one of the inside images. I'm getting pooped out, though. It's been a few hours. I gotta learn to do these faster or I'm going to end up working for less than minimum wage.
Today Dad and I mosey'd down to a trio of abandoned houses near the freeway that I've been meaning to investigate. They've been built on unstable ground and are collapsing, and the owners have been tied up in litigation for six years. They're suing the city for letting them build the houses there. Dumbass yuppies. Anyway, the bums and junkies have been at it since it's been abandoned, so of course it's all wired and boarded shut. We weren't able to get inside without being seen, but there are ways to do it. It'd require a ladder and possibly some tools. Steve and Jamie and I could probably pull it off with minimal bodily harm. There's also an abandoned house down a street from me that looks like it may have hardwood floors, so I'm going to take a look tomorrow.
On the way home, I found exactly one half of a $20 bill on the street. I'm going to take it to the bank tomorrow and see if it's worth anything. I heard you need to have more than 50% of a bill for it to be considered legal tender, so we'll see. Maybe they have a measuring system.
The last white mouse is acting spastic. Like, every few seconds he twitches or something and jumps about an inch in the air. He's getting fed to the snake tonight. I'm growing to dislike mice. They're incredibly stupid.
Anyway, why don't you tellme abit about yourself Yusuf! I've attached a picture of me so you can see what I look like. Please send me one of yourself!
I also recieved an email from the comittee. I'll post the application after I fill it out. Gotta love the guy's name LOL! I'm going to piss him off and send him a cheque.
