As I've noted before, I'm an incurable reader of other people's personal writings. If I see anything that even remotely resembles a note, letter, shopping list, etc., wadded up on the ground, I'm going to stop, unwad, uncrumple, and read.
Most of the time, this particular habit leaves me with nothing much that was worth the stoop. Nonetheless, on occasion my nightly doggie walks do provide me with something of value -- particularly when I find stuff around the local middle school.
Longtime Subdivided readers no doubt will recall the adventures of Tiffany and Pretzel, as reported here on these pages back in February. It's taken three more months, but I've found another note. Nothing spectacular, mind you, but I'll share it for those of you who may also enjoy this sort of thing. Ladies and gentlemen -- I give you the drama, the majesty, the nauseating puppy love of....Shelby and The Kid Who Doesn't Sign His Name to His Notes:
Hi! I heard that u still like me. Is that true? O ya, wats the thing about u wanting me to go fishing with u? I wanted to know what u r doing friday night? w/b soon!
~ShelbyI'm not going to be here on Friday because I am going camping. I kind of like you still and I was just joking with Jillian about going fishing
(no signature)
So there you have it, folks -- yet another male who refuses to either shite or get off the pot. Anybody else think young no-name is playing the field, and keeping our miss Shelby as a fall-back position?
Unfortunately, we'll never know. But I'd love to hear how you all think this drama will play itself out.
Perhaps it's because I've been out of middle school (or as we wacky Canucks call it, "junior high") for too long, but I can't for the life of me think of what sexual innuendo was meant by "going fishing"... unless Mr. No-name seriously thought that fishing would be a good first date tactic. Maybe Shelby's dad is Darryl Choronzy.

Hook, line and sinker?
No, I just met her.
