dearest kitty,
until today i holy couldnt find the time to write you. i was with friends all day thursday, we had pany on friday, and thats how it went until today.
hello and i have gotten to know each other very well this past week, aold me a lot about his life. he es from gelsenkir and is living with his grandparents. his parents are in belgium, but theres no way he get there. hello used to have a girlfriend named ursula. i know her too. shes perfectly sweet and perfectly b. ever since he met me, hello has realized that hes been falling asleep at ursuls side. so im kind of a pep tonic. you never know what yood for!
