Dear Brother,
Hi! My name is Mia, though I assume you know that since you gave me that name. My real name, in case you forgot, it Amelia. Currently, I am aged 20 years, but in a month (exactly) I will have reached 21, and my sources tell me that the day I become old enough to drink in the United States of America (which I will not be in on that day) you will be leaving on a jet plane with our father for South (or Central?) America, so you have no excuses to forget about the anniversary of my birth. But, again, all this is information you should know.
Let's move on to information that you may not know.
You do know I'm currently in London. You may not know that this weekend I will be traveling to Bath, Stone Henge, Avebury, Wells Cathedral and Glastonbury. This should be a lovely trip. I will take lots of pictures, though I have a feeling they will never be quite as nice as the ones you took 7 years ago. Though it does help that we only went to two of those places, so I'll get pictures you didn't get a chance to get.
Now let's go back further, so you can know what happened in my life before London.
This summer I didn't go very far from home. My friends and I did spend a week up at Michael's cabin, it was quite different than the weekends we used to spend there, but very fun. Our mother, her eldest younger brother and I also visited our Hanson grandparents, there I helped canoe a loon island across the lake. I also walked two dogs all summer long and made enough money to get a very nice new camera and a 2nd tattoo (your sister is such a rebel).
As for your questions, the ones you asked in a comment (in case you forgot those already) I will now answer them.
1. Yes, I went to a mega church far in the suburbs, I went with Julia and our friend Kiya, who you have never met (Julia is the girl you've know since forever, and once disliked, in case you forgot). This church was massive, it even has a restaurant inside it, and a gift shop. There were thousands upon thousands of theatre like seats, a large stage, and two screens that displayed the band, preacher, videos, ads, and lyrics to their hymns. The church also didn't seem to care that Asia has many countries in it, it's just Asia. Well... China too. The church was scary, I feel sorry for those people, because they are teaching their selves and their children an extremely skewed view of the world. There is much more that could be said about that church, but I think I am attempting to wipe it from my mind right now.
2. "How's the accent coming?" What accent?? I'm not picking one up, if that's what you mean. If you mean my Minnesotan accent, I like to believe that I am in good control of it, you know, just hints of it here and then, and of course large hints of it when it comes to worlds like bag, dragon, and Agatha Christie.
In closing Josiah, dear brother of mine that I rarely see or speak to, I believe we need to learn more about each other evetually, especially as you are my only brother (though, I suppose I'm a bit less special to you as I am not your only sister...). Hopefully you will visit me when I am in LA this winter/spring (or I you, or somewhere in the middle). Maybe we can go to Disney Land together, though that may break our banks.
Whatever is it we end up doing to reconnect, I have decided it must happen, because it seems that as brother and sister, we sort of fail (but not really, cause we're the best right??).
That is all for now. Hopefully you feel better updated on my life now, I think you should.
Much love from your little sister,
Mia
P.S.
Remember that time you wouldn't leave my closet and threw part of a cucumber at me?? Yeah, that happened.
