The reason why I am still here is a question I have asked myself throughout the process, and the answer is not something I can easily put into words. I want to be a part of as [some dude's name] puts it, an accelerated maturation process. The ability to grow as a person is a rare opportunity. I also want to be a part of a second family, a group of brothers, who will always have each other to count on no matter what happens. There are certain things I cannot discuss with my family, so it’s nice to have someone you know you can always talk to and get advice from. I like “educating” to a certain extent, and do not mind when it becomes more difficult, because it allows me to prove to myself, and to my pledgebros that I want to be here, and no amount of push-ups, think-abouts, or alcohol drinking(short of death), will change my mind. The harder it gets, the more it brings us together, and [field trip destination] is a perfect example of that.

The active/alumnus that I most want to be like is [some other dude's name] While I admit I have heard more about him from others then actually from him, I still admire him greatly. The way he balances school, his own t-shirt company, and still finds time to come by the bra and hangout is something I cannot help but respect. I look forward to getting to know him better in the future, and learning from him.

To be honest, I am not sure how I can be more like [other dude again], as it is very difficult to follow in his footsteps. I will make more of an effort to get to know actives that I do not know well. I will help the house anyway I can and will step in to whatever position is needed the most. I will make sacrifices for the house because if others before me did not make sacrifices, [fraternity name] would not be where it is today. I realize that this is a vague answer, however, I feel like the best way I can help is to step in where I am needed, instead of making promises far in advance, because variables can change everything.

also that was sent as an attachment. the body of the email says "I apologize for this being late. I wrote it a while ago, but my internet has been down, and I have forgotten to come to the library to send it. All excuses aside, I fucked up."

― jhoshea (jhoshea), Thursday, 7 December 2006 18:57 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, does the phrase "repressed homosexual desire" help explain the pizza phenomenon? though i don't think it's complete suitable explanation -- more about the rituals of shame and humiliation and the sense of camraderie that comes from going through that with other people. they become yr bros! WOOOOOOOOOO

FROM: (NEW EMAIL ADDRESS REDACTED)
SUBJECT: MY CELL!!!
Hi J,

Can you be a doll and pick up my Cell at Annette’s place. Yes, I forgot it there today! ;(

Pleezzzeee!

Let me know!

Penny.

― remy bean (bean), Friday, 8 December 2006 06:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Dear unknown person named Penny,

I think you have sent this to the wrong address. I do not know of an Annette, except for a third aunt who I haven't talked to in more than a decade. As much as I would love to be a doll and get your phone back, I believe my aunt Annette is quite buried and and thereby incapable of holding your cell in first place. So sorry I can't help.

Good luck though, and may you find soon your phone.

Remy in Los Angeles

PS: Are you in BC? If so, is it damnably cold yet? It's cold here, so cold I let the dog sleep in bed with me as a manner of warming up. He takes up more than his share :(

― remy bean (bean), Friday, 8 December 2006 06:03 (seventeen years ago) link

My Goodness,

Thank you for letting me know that I sent my email to the wrong address!

The weather is warming up, it was -2 degrees Celsius and raining. It is a lot better than last week it was -38, that was very cold!

Thank you

Penny
