Bizarre letter to myself

[Phenia]

Probably a letter that you had to write to yourself for an English assignment or something. I should have one coming in a few months now that I think about it. One of those "predict where you will be, and then see where you end up" type things.

I think my explanation is more plausible.

[The Macabees]

They didn't qualify which kind of dollars; I recommend sending $200 Zimbabwe dollars.

The smallest bill I carry is $1,000,000.

[The Macabees]

The mentioning of AP English in "your" letter, plus the fact that is was mailed by your school, makes it look like you had to write a letter to your future self as part of an AP English assignment at some point. You probbaly didn't particularly care about that (as evident form the content of your letter), so it's unsurprising you forgot all about it..

.. we do things like that with the kids too; most of them don't take it serious either.

You guys actually hold on to those letters for four years and then send them?

Your mom's more plausible.

Wait...what?

and what's funny....or sad, is that this is not the stupidest thing I've ever heard schools do.

Yeah I would have figured they went the same place as letters to god.

To the Janitorial staff who opens them up, reads them and laughs about what's written?

Schools don't do it...individual teachers do.

Schools don't do it...individual teachers do.

Why? Isn't that kinda sadistic? I mean what if you wrote that you were going to be an astronaut, or a famous writers. However, 5 years after writing the letter you're working the drive thru at Mc. Donald? You walk into your apartment on the bad side of town, open up your letter from you 5 years from now. You realize what could've been, and you get drunk with a $50 hooker.

Because it's interesting to see how one has grown. Because at the age of 14, when we are all cocky little know it alls, it is interesting to look back and see "wow...I grew up". Because sometimes it's enough to knock someone back on a good path..."hey...when I was 14 I wanted to be a doctor. Where the fuck did I go wrong?". There are plenty of reasons.

I forget what I wrote in mine...but I can definitively say it would never mention being an English teacher. I'm curious as to what I used to want to be, and to see what smartass comments I put in it.

[Wilgrove]

Heh, at 14 I wanted to be a commerical airline pilot who would eventually fly the Concorde.

I got one of those. Past me bitched me out something fierce, so I tore the letter up and threw it away. That shows me to call me a sell-out and no good loser who couldn't hold onto my girlfriend. High school romances aren't meant to last, you angsty little turd!
If time travel is ever invented, I'm going back to 10th grade and punching myself in the face. Er, my past self, not my self-self, because I could punch that self in the face any time I wanted to.

An identical twin/clone that you were unaware of is in the hands of some Eastern European nemesis of yours, and is being used in an attempt to extort monies. The rest of the note is in code. You could either a) Ignore it or b) Move to Russia, train as a spy (only Russians can decode Eastern European messages, obv), then defect back, and charge at the base of your nemesis with a tank.

Missed the boat on that one.

To push 400 tonnes to Mach 5 must take a hell of a lot of thrust, though.

Oh, the curse of being a millionaire...

Of course, you can send that and request change!

[L3 Communications]

I fly international a lot, so I've read a lot of books that cover this type of situation and therefore am a bit of an expert.

The first thing I can tell you is DO NOT send the $200 dollars. If you do, you'll probably end up having a bit of a rough time over the next few months. Most likely you will end up being chased around the country by government thugs, end up being helped by a psychic golden retriever (or possibly a super intelligent monkey) and have to live out the rest of your days anonymously under a new identity with a woman who you helped recover from a previously abusive relationship. Obviously the whole thing is part of a rogue CIA/NSA/Department of Education black op involving genetic engineering and/or time travel.

The only thing that doesn't fit the profile is that you are not a recently widowed middle aged cop.

I wanna punch you in the face for even bringing up those books.

[New Limacon]

I must admit I was puzzled, until I reread this bit.

...
Sweet deal,
Finegold out

Clearly, this letter is a scam from Russ Feingold, Democrat (or should I say "Spendocrat") from Wisconsin, who with his secret personal Big Government has learned to mimic your handwriting perfectly and is trying to get money out of you to pay for the tiaras of welfare queens. "Finegold" is his weak attempt at a nom de plume.
As for the postscripts, those are the mice that live in Senator Feingold's office. They enjoy silly things like that.

[SoWiBi]

We do, although we tend to send them out 2 years later, actually.

It's fair game to be critical of this. With some people, it's great fun. With some people, it's a very healthy slap to get more of a grip. With some people, it's a very unhealthy depressing reminder. With some people, it's terribly confusing, or plain old illegible.

.. and then for some, it's a huge disappointment.

Thast exactly why they do it.

Yeah. And then there's those cases who hit rock bottom when they realize they don't even have the $50 for the hooker..

[Blargaflarg]

I got a letter to myself that I don't remember writing.
...
I smoke pot

And this is precisely why I don't smoke pot. I don't need to be doing shit that I don't remember.
