"To the left..
To the left..
Everything you own

In the box to the left.."

Dear Gabrielle,

'Calamity Jane' is my latest nickname!

The past two weeks, yours truly has single-handedly spinned the office gossip mill into overdrive with tales of one misfortune or another. Apparently Misfortune loves my company!

There's one of me tumbling down the staircase, injuring my head and twisting my knees. There's also the other one where I broke down in tears infront of the boss. I don't normally make a habit of being a cry baby but thanks to the world's most unreliable transport system (London Transport), no matter what routes I takes and how early I leave, I just cannot get to work on time. Every single day...

"F&%* you, God!" I burst out in public on Wednesday. Even I startled myself with my absolute act of rebel!

I mean, here I am a meek, total believer in the Higher Power but by then, I had already reached a breaking point..

"Why is it always one thing or another? I'm fricking tired of this. What is it that you want from me?!" I stared heavenward in utter exhaustion and humiliation. "What it it? Answer me!"

God answered me that night. Haha. Well kind of. He sent me an email time capsule I wrote to myself one year ago. What an excellent reminder of life a year before. So much has changed and for the better. I read it all and clarity rushed in. For the first time that day, I laughed. What can I say? God has a brilliant sense of humour sometimes

"Someone's watching over you huh," a colleague stated matter of factly as she passed me by the next day. "It could have been worst, your fall. You could have broken your neck. I'm glad you are ok."

"Yeah, I know, right." I smiled indulgently to myself. "That does not kill you make you stronger huh?"

Forgive me God, for I have sinned...

Passionately Sinning,

Elle Sheri xo

anyway so yeah u were heartbroken from simon(who?) and u jumped into bed with vittotio.. and then tristan (who again?) came. u discovered u were right all along.. they are all unworthy boys for u... u wonder where mr right is.. u feel lonely yet u feel u have way too much excess luggage.. so u need to unload them and move on..

u also have learnt soo much life's lessons.. ur not built to have casual sex and thats its quite impossible to have friendships w men.. very difficult cos
someone always wants something..

uve been getting quite nostalgic lately thinking of all the ex bf.. including jake and the good times.. but it passed as soon as it came.

ur job is unsatisfying. u like it but u feel like ur going nowhere... u have yet to get a payrise .. is that good now elle?

anyway whatever u do nov 16 2006.. im sure ur miles away from what u are right now..

theres always room for improvement.. plus im sure u would have learnt more and more .. :)

whatever u are and what u decide to be.. im very proud of u..

and that will never change.

Loves
Me xo

	Stephen Craig Rowewrote: Dear Elle, Though my work is most demanding this time of year, I thought I would drop by and give you some Holiday Cheer! You have my warmest Season's Greetings! I wish you and yours a very Happy Holiday Season, a Merry Christmas and a good-great New Year! A bit premature, perhaps, am sure I will be here before Christmas. As ever be well. With love. Stephen Craig Rowe 18 Dec.
	Justinwrote: This one did make me smile, I wish I had read this one earlier!! Time has a funny way of showing you perspective, making you realise there is a direction that we move (through whichever means you believe in... god, fate love, lust...!). Be proud of your path. Things are there to test you! I would love to tour down to london, get the guys on the road and just meet people out there. If we are ever destined to be in that part of the UK you will be the first to know! Your support I know would be unrivaled! And I hope we would be able to show you a great night! JK 12 Dec.

	Susanwrote: I set my time capsule to be delivered in five years. How crazy is that? I won't have the slightest idea what I was even talking about then. It'll be oddly refreshing. It's great to see the changes in just a few moments. Great news! My cousin lives in California now so I have somewhere to crash for free!! He's going to introduce me to some California boys. How crazy is that? Maybe this east coast girl will move out west permanently. I'm in the mood for a change of scenery. ;) Kindest wishes my dear! xo, Susan 30 Nov.
	bonibluewrote: WOW...how neat is that...FORBES TIMECAPSULE! I have got to check that out!

	Twrote: The time capsule is such a great way to remind yourself of how far you have come, in such a short amount of time. You should be proud of yourself, the choices that you have made, and the path that you have walked... I just wanted to remind you what a beautiful individual you are, Elle Sheri. It has truly been a pleasure to be a part of your life. That night in NYC was one of my most favorites ever, most likely because of the sheer excitement of turning such an initially superficial acquaintance, into an actual introduction...so fun! It blows my mind, the way that you take chances and aren't afraid to explore this globe and all that it has to offer. You truly are one of a kind. I am absolutely confidant that the reason that you haven't met "The one" yet, is because God is preparing him for someone like you (and a comparable match takes time, my dear!). ;) Wishing you a glorious day with lots to smile about, ~Tina 29 Nov.

	Coralwrote: WE. Are amazing people. I feel so good right now. I. Coral, ran, Pharmacy Triage. SINGLE HANDEDLY for a WHOLE HOUR. I deserve a medal for that. 8 Days on Pharmacy, and check that out. That was the most amazing thing I've done, and will do, the whole placement year. I kicked ass for a whole hour. I can't actually believe I did that. I hated Triage before that hour. I can do ANTHING now. Have Fun over the w/end :] xxx 24 Nov.

	Wayward Billwrote: My Dearest Elle, When dealing with a higher power reflection and attonement to the past are required. I know that this past year has made me a better person. My health is fine and I appreciate your comments in regards. May we all see the end of hunger in our lifetimes this Thanksgiving season. Although our day of reflection, comraderie, prosperity, and celebration of life is not global or on a universal date here's to you and yours' on America's first holiday. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v290/GottaLuvtheMouse/Thanksgiving/?action=view&current=1163649825.pbw Peace, Love, Hippie Stuff, Wayward Bill 22 Nov.

	Susanwrote: Look what all you've made it through! Life is odd here, my dear, and I'll try to write about it later. Odd but lovely. Odd but frustrating. Odd, but such is life. Much love you to my dear and take care! Susan 20 Nov.
