Letter 4 - Pearl
Hi Amethyst,
Good to hear from you again! I was, admittedly, a little worried that you had forgotten or decided to cut contact with me for some reason, and it's been somewhat dull without your letters. "Birthgiver", though? I know that you're unhappy, but that's a very disrespectful way to refer to your mother, even if it is just a joke. I'm sure she means well for you. I'm sorry that you lost contact with your friend. I'm sure she'll turn up again in due time and I'm also sure I would like her as well, but the only information I have is her name and "stiff but a sweetheart" from you, so I can't tell immediately.
It's a good thing to be an optimist. As for my account, you were right, it is fun. I even got a few 'buddy' requests already, though I have the feeling they only sent them to add to their list. One of them has over 400 buddies! I don't think I know that many people. I'm not against sharing names with you, I just think it will ruin the mystery. Also, I'm glad you've seen the light, Iowa for what it really is, and no, it doesn't get better when you go there. Though, by all means please visit and see for yourself.
Why would you want to dye your hair? I'm sure it's not that bad, and it's probably not worth your parents' wrath. If you insist, I think white would be a nice colour, but I don't think I'd be able to give you my opinion because I have no idea how you look and what would look good on you.
And, yes... I did cheat. I'm very, very ashamed, but I have no regrets. It is a nice circle, after all, even if the eyes look awful.
Looking forward to hearing from you again,
Pearl
