Open Letters Friday is a segment here at PCL for your reading and writing enjoyment. I’ll share with you some of my open letters for the week and you’ll get the opportunity in comments to share yours. Now, tell me, who do you need to write to this week?

Dear Readers:
Who knew I’d have so many open letters to write that I’d get to Volume IX! That’s crazy. I hope you enjoy Open Letters Friday. Let me know in the comments…and don’t forget to write your own open letters. The Universe is listening.
Sincerely,
The PCL

Dear Farmville:
I know I’ve been extolling your virtues on here as of late. But there are a few things I’d like to clear up. First, why can’t I sell my goods on an open market. I know this makes me sound like a Republican when I clearly am not, but maybe I could get more for my raspberries from someone else.
Secondly, why do the pigs give you truffles? Are you afraid to remind people that bacon, ham and sausage come from pigs?
That’ll do, Farmville. That’ll do.
Sincerely,
Addicted as Hell

Dear Retailers:
I know you love getting into the Christmas spirit, but November 1st is too early for ads featuring Christmas music in my opinion. Just urge people to buy, but for the love of all that is holy, stop playing Christmas music in your commercials. We get it. You’re overjoyed.
Sincerely,

Dear Tim Hortons:
Why is it that your coffee gets cold so fast? Maybe it’s time to invest in better cup technology.

Dear Car:
I have decided to name you Sparky. You will like this name and exhibit its qualities, namely that you will continue to run well. And you will like it.
Very truly yours,
Your Slavedriver Owner

Dear Universe:
You know how I’m waiting on a ton of things right now…like a decision as to whether I got into my graduate program or agents to read my manuscript or other agents to respond to my queries? Please urge them to make positive decisions soon. I hate waiting.
Sincerely,
Impatient as Hell

Dear Various Granting Agencies:
Please, for the love of all that is good, give me money. I have a great, innovative idea. Recognize it – please. Quit giving people money for crappy science, and fund someone with a plan.
That is all.

Dear Car (mine is named Esse’ the escort,
Please stop doing that shaking thing. Moreover, please stop dying when I break too fast. I desperately need to you stay alive for another 100,000 miles.
Thanks,

Dear Universe,
This waiting thing is really fucking old. Please give me, Kim, and everyone else who is waiting some news. And while I would prefer GOOD news, at this point I would settle for any news that would end this limbo.

Dear Coworker,
I get that you like Christmas music. I also get that you like the “adult hits!” radio station that plays the same 6 songs over and over all day long. But please, for the love of god, could you not play them both at once?
Love,
Jane
Dear Kim / PCL,
I love Open Letter Fridays. Please keep them coming!
Dear Farmville,
I don’t understand your pull. Why are people so fascinated with you.
Love, Me
(And a great big AMEN to the retailers letter. I saw Xmas stuff going up on Nov. 1st! Seriously?)
Dear Farmville,
I’d also like to know why the elephants produce peanuts?
Sincerely,

Sparky is the perfect name for your car! And our stores started Christmas crap even earlier. Losers.
Dear Imeem,
Not only do you seemingly REFUSE to provide a mathematically-balanced shuffle of songs (so instead I hear the same three or four songs keep coming up all day), but you also threw in a Christmas song today in the midst of a folk playlist.
Really? Really.
thanks. i guess.
f.B
But I sure hope with the christmas music comes christmas discounts ? Because that would be cool!:D
The Christmas music is too much. I start to get heart palpitations because IT’S CHRISTMAS AND I HAVE NO MONEY!!!
Dear Self:
How have you missed this feature on Kim’s blog up until now? You could have been laughing hysterically every Friday instead of hating your life. Shame on you.

You KNEW you were going to have to get up early on Saturday, so why did you not go to bed at a reasonable hour?

Dear Retailers,
I agree with PCL. Especially when Halloween hasnt even happened yet and the mall is decorated with wreaths and ornaments. Seriously, get a clue.

Dear Me,
Did you really need to sleep this much this weekend, or are you just lazy? I suspect it’s the latter. Let’s get some work done sometime, why don’t we.
