| Hello, dear friends! This is not a forward. This is not some terrible chain letter that will give you bad luck for 15 years . . . This is a very important message that involves a very big and important project, in which I have entitled, “The Big Important Project.”—I know . . . I’m not very original on titles, haha.
Continuing on, I am sending this message (Make sure you actually read all of this!) to you guys in particular because I want you to be a part of it! There is no reason for me to send this if I didn’t want you to! Y’see, I may be going away for a very long time by June of next year, and I know you all want to ask where, in which, some of you perhaps already know, but that’s not really as important for now. Just understand that I would be gone for a good few years, and I will, in turn, be terribly homesick.
To get to the point already, I am basically making a video scrapbook; it will be something that I can put into a DVD and tote around with me on days that I will need something to keep my sanity going (to the best of its abilities, haha.)
That’s where you come in! All that I am asking of you is to send me a part of you.
----“Whoa! Cabarlo! What does that mean?! Like a body part?”
No, no! I just want you to send me a video, an audio recording, a letter, a post-it note, an email, a photo, etc. of anything that you think that I may want to see, hear, or remember. It can range from things like memories you’ve had with me, things you’ve wanted to tell me, inside jokes, things that remind you of me, things that remind me of you . . . Well, you get the idea. Not much is really off-limits!
----“Cabarlo! How many do you want?”
Well, I would like at least one or two from you, but, hey, if you’re feeling a sudden rush of epiphanies left and right, you can send me as many as you want! I would love every one of them! (More than one would actually make me jump for joy that you really cared! Lol)
----“But, April! I can’t think of anything!”
If you know remotely anything about me, I’m sure you can think of something. However, in case you need some help, here’s a link of prompts that you can answer or give you some inspiration. [http://misscabarlo.xanga.com/760006057/questions/]
----“Uh-oh, April! I just realized that all I can think of are stories that you may not want to show your parents!!!”
Haha, yes, I’ve already considered that, and that’s what’s beautiful about the magic of DVD editing! I’m sure you all can suspect that my parents would like to know what people have remembered or done with me. That’s where I’m probably going to make an UNRATED VERSION or DIRECTOR’S CUT. So, if there was that “one night at Spankie’s” or “the time you fell out of a car” or “that one guy in the ambulance . . . Yeah! Go ahead and send them in!
----“Hmmm, when do you want this done?”
Well, let’s just say that I want it as soon as possible! I can’t give a set date to be honest because, although next June is a long time from now, I can’t have you procrastinating/forgetting about this Big Important Project!
----“Alright, alright. I guess I can do it.”
Good! To contact me:
Email: misscabarlo@hotmail.com For my phone number or address, email or check me up on Facebook.
---“Gah, April, I really don’t think I can do this . . .”
First of all, YES, YOU CAN! But, if you’re gonna be lame and you’re not interested, please reply back to me in another private message. It will not hurt my feelings [as much] if you tell me straight that you cannot/will not do it rather than just plainly ignoring this message. I don’t want to postpone the project thinking you’re still “considering” it. Oh, and, for the record, to play the guilt card on ya:
I MAY JUST CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP EVERY NIGHT WONDERING WHY YOU DON’T WANT TO DO THIS SMALL FAVOR FOR ME!!! [PS. That’s one of my many guilt cards I have in store.]
----“So, is that it?”
Yeah, sure! At least, for now it is! If you have any comments, send it in ANOTHER message to me, and not on this one. I wanna make sure this message stays easy to read.
Thanks for reading, guys!
