Dear Chaos Theory,

I am in love with you. I saw you last night on Myth Busters. Those silly scientists made a Rube Goldberg Machine, and it was incredible to watch their frustration as you played along. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS7FIEUQgRM

You totally fucked up their experiment. Things that should work, and that worked in previous attempts, did not work the second time around.

You are proof that we humans cannot control everything. And I think it's time people started realizing that. Thanks for putting us in our place, CT.

Love from your lady,
Alyssa
Dear Blogger,

It's time we got back together. I'll be honest. I didn't really like you when I first met you. You reminded me of my first blog, Livejournal. I was forced to hang out with you in college because of class projects. Then all my friends were with you, so I talked to you. And then I didn't like you. You weren't convenient when I was at work. It just didn't work out.

Now, with my recent promotion to Marketing Director, I have more freedom. Besides taking longer lunches with my soon-to-be husband and playing with PhotoShop, I am going to start a relationship with you once again. I'm not crazy about our past relationship, so let's start over.

Just you, the faithful friend who has waited patiently for stories and attention, and me, the whirlwind of a lady who has changed so much since our previous fun together.

In case you were wondering, I am doing great without you, Blogger. Just fantastic. In fact, I've become a Company member at the DSI Comedy Theater where I perform every Saturday night in ComedySportz shows as a player/ref/voice of the mainstage ensemble. I'm half of the champion of the Cage and Dual Duel team Honkey Kong and the head cheerleader in the cast of DSI High.

I got a real job at a recycling company that helps Wal-Mart, Target and other giants of industry lessen their negative impact by taking their waste and grinding it down into materials that can be recycled into new products. I'm Marketing Director there, so I deal with almost all communication with vendors, customers, employees, manage the website, create and update the logo and all sorts of other fun things.

And that guy I was dating? I'm marrying him. In twenty days. That's right. Hence, why I got a new name, Blogger, and this is the one you have to use. Alyssa Marie Mander Buckley. We're getting married in Florida, and then moving into our sweet apartment in Chapel Hill, North Carolina after a wonderful two week honeymoon spent at Disney World and the Western Carribbean.

Things are awkward between us now. I'm not sure if you're still bitter from the break or maybe if you've forgiven me and are now excited about our new friendship. I'm here, and I'm ready to do this all over again. The ball's in your court, Blogger. Don't fuck this up.

Love from your new lady,
Alyssa
