Enron Mail |
Yo sista,
Sorry I've been so MIA. You know how it is: move to a new city, lack the money to buy groceries or put roof over head let alone purchase a calling card. I am enjoying my internship and even starbucks (it's kind of fun!), but I am DEAD broke and trying to figure out how to pay rent this month. So I guess nothing's new . . . Outward Bound is nice. The "office" is an old renovated house about six blocks from my apartment, which is a godsend when it snows (which it did today, a lot). The people here are generally really mellow - I'm sure you can imagine. Lots of "bro!", "dude!" and "no worries!" like we're Australian surfers or something. I actually heard somebody call some slides (as in picture slides) the "slidey-slides" the other day. But they're all super nice, and I have my own desk and phone and voice mail, so I feel important. Starbucks is pretty fucking funny (again, use your imagination). Everyone I work with is tall, skinny, male, goateed, and painfully in the closet. And you should hear the crap that people order - they actually have a CODE for "half-caf" now. Idiots - do you even know what actual coffee tastes like? So I heard you're moving in with Molly and Amber. That should be fun. Honestly, Kate, I love it here, but I think I'll be back sooner than I thought. I'm starting to think I could be really happy in Portland. But you can't beat the weather in Denver - it's sunny practically everyday! And the guys here know how to buy pants that fit properly over their shoes. You have to visit! Our apartment is big and we could go out with Monica and it would be really fun! My phone number, by the way, is (303) 777-7132. So call me if you ever get those free long distance thingies that cell phones tend to get. Okay, let me know the gossip in p-town.

How goes it, girlfriend? I just got your message - sorry I haven't been in touch yet, and I can give you all the excuses in the book about how I've been swamped with work, play, life in general, but we both know I'm just flaky, so there's no point in explaining it. Anyway, I'm so excited to hear you're doing well in your new Rocky Mountain dwelling, but you left me here with no good pissing and moaning (and getting "pissed") buddies. So I checked out airfares to Denver, and found one for $118 roundtrip! Can you freakin' believe it? Anyway, you have to purchase and use the ticket by the end of March, so I was thinking a little spring break action was called for. Do you think you'd be settled enough by the end of March to accomodate a portly older sister for a few days? Let me know, and I'll do the deal. Got to go - business abounds at Enron as usual. I'll try to drop you a line tonight when I have more time to write. Do you have a phone number? Amber was in Denver over the weekend, and she and Monica called me trying to get ahold of you, but I had no idea where to look. (Except somewhere in Denver, but from what I've heard it's a fairly big place.) Write back soon, or call - I want to know how the internship is. But more importantly, how's the unlimited Starbucks coffee? Love, Kate
