Oh, that is so not going to cut it, sweetheart. Explaining why you weren't answering your phone was only a part of my email, and a very small part at that. Why did you leave the party? And where on earth did you go? I drove past your apartment on my way home at four in the morning and your car wasn't there.
EXPLAIN.

You must be kidding about number 2. Please tell me you're kidding about number 2!
Also, it seems that you consider the 'normal' people to be the ones that realize they're a little bit crazy. Am I right?
See, that's what I've been thinking. So I suppose I'm right, now that you're independently backing me up. I love writing, but all those theories... and then there's the fact that I've never really been a fan of most of the so-called classics. Call me a heathen, but I just don't go for those things.
I suppose I should have never even considered the English major. I am a little insane.
Never mind about the situation I was asking about - I've scrapped the idea for now.
I actually loved your friends, by the way. I seem to have gotten myself mixed up in a crowd that thinks the amount of fun being had depends on how much noise is being made. Your friends know how to have fun at a reasonable volume. I wouldn't mind getting to know them better - I don't suppose you have any post-Fourth parties in planning? Even impromptu ones?
I get my story ideas from everywhere. Most mornings I get on my computer soon after waking up to write down a brief summary of my dream. Some great stories have come from my subconscious. I sometimes find a person that I think is really interesting, turn them into a character, and build a story around them. Sometimes they just pop into my head. I remember one day I was wandering across campus listening to some music and suddenly got an idea for a story. When you're a writer, story ideas are everywhere. It's just like photography - you see things that other people don't.
Don't worry, I forgive you for not answering. I know life can get crazy.
That said, I expect an answer to this email posthaste!
(Just joking.)

I hope my friends haven't terrorized and traumatized you too much. They're a rowdy bunch. As you now know firsthand.
Anyway, seeing you is finally getting me to answer your last email. And may I say you ask the oddest questions.
1. You've met my parents. You be the judge.
2. Sixteen.
3. In my mind, there are three degrees of crazy: where you think you're sane, where you know you're insane but go with it, and where you're beyond help. It's best to realize you're a little insane and go with it. When I first met you, you certainly thought you were sane, but you seem to be slowly realizing and accepting how wacky you are.
4. All I have to say is, "My eyes are fully opened to my awful situation..." ; )
5. Why would you want to major in English? Too much non-fun writing. I say go for directing. If that's what you want, that's what you should do.
6. I'm a what? And I'm talking to a what? And why? You're going to have to explain this one a bit better if you really want me to give you any sort of answer. Right now I'm a little lost.
And with that last question of yours in mind, I want to ask one: where on earth do you get those odd ideas for stories?
Feel no need to write back soon - if I can go a week without answering, I deserve a week or more without an answer. ; )

I've misplaced my phone. That's why I'm not answering texts or calls. Also, I only woke up an hour or so ago. I was up really late last night.

First you leave the party early without saying anything to anyone - we only know you left because Josh caught you in the doorway - and now you won't you answer my calls? You had better explain yourself, dear boy.
