Hanging out in DC, eh? A good place for you lawyerly types. I'll have to move there some day and get a sugar mamma lobbyist.

I think my friend Pallavi from college is still living there. You should get into contact with her. Shes really badass and well informed - just like our wonderful Fran. You and Pallavi are both going to be the type of lawyers where you walk into the courtroom and the other lawyers are like, oh fuck because you both kick so much motherfucking ass in your oral augmenting. If I were a lawyer and you were a lawyer, I'd be all, don't fuck with that Francesca S.. She has a superbrain and an evil eye that will stare you down cold. You'd strike fear into the hearts of so many, and the American Bar Association would give you its official key to the Badass Zone.

I've been up to the usual - looking at lots of porn and singing to my pets and making flippant comments about Jesus. And after a four year hiatus, Modern Art and me fell back in love - we met once more at the Whitney BBiennialin NYC and she took me back into her arms (which were covered in burlap and shards of wine bottles (she was, after all, participating in an instillation at the time (what with her being modern art and all)). My tears loosened the labels of the fragments of wine bottles but Modern Art did not scold me - oh no. Rather, she welcomed my lacrimal extractions as raw emotion which only intensified the meaning of the Art (which I'd explain to you, but the whole thing is rather complicated and inter-referential and would take hours.))

Oh, also, I decided to go to Acupuncture school - in Watertown no less. So I'll be in your end of the state come August. I shall continue to extolthe virtues of Western Massachusetts even as I begrudgingly admit that probably Eastern Massachusettshas a higher net population of Sugar Mammas.

I'm trying to avoid going to Virginia at all costs if it means I have to hang out with the fam. But now that I know you are in DC nandI've been really missing Charlottesville I may go to the mid-Atlantic all sneaky like for a visit.

Tell me more about your life, oh Francesca!

xoxo,

J.

PS - I need your home address. I got this card for Mercedes for her graduation. I mean, I don't see her much anymore but I thought she deserves to hear that I think she is a really awesome person and I know she'll do amazing things in the world and graduation from high school is sort of the start of the rest of her life, wherein she'll also do Badass Mercedes Things.
