all the wash u college students left over the last few weeks. this begins our quite season. during this period, there's all sorts of folks trolling the alleys scavenging for the goods rich kids don't feel like carting back home. just another luxury of those who don't have to pay for what they have.
as for me, their used and soiled housewares hold no appeal, but that is not to say i don't take advantage of the mayhem. it's more than typical to stumble across some morsel that is curious not for it's monetary value but for other, better reasons. and, i have come to ritualistically look for one memento each year to remember the esteemed students by. this season's trinket was a note i found on the sidewalk while walking home one night. it reads.
----------< begin note >----------
Hi Just, here's the hey. See you soon!! Tess.
(the above words were written in very big text at somewhat of an angle and there was an elongated heart in front of the 'Tess'.)
Just in case and b/c my mom is making me, here's our address:
(address inserted here)
if you take a taxi tell them to take 91st st on the south side of edith dr to get to greenbelt. you'll recognize the house. oh! and here's bo's cell phone which my mom is also making me give you:
(phone number inserted here)
mine is:
(another phone number)
much love!
be safe!
(next to the above two lines is a drawn box and inside it is written 'We're on a mission from God'.)
tessa
oh! and there will also be a hidden key which i will tell you about.

it is quite fortunate this scrap wasn't found by some freak who would:
a. pick it up and put it in his pocket.
b. later read it while sitting on his front porch, twice.
c. post its contents on his website.
d. or call the number pretending he's 'Just'.
now i know you're thinking the last item might just be a little risky. i thought the same given caller id, star 69 and the constant fbi surveillance i'm under, so that's why i made the call from e-love's house.
toodles jen and justin. i'll call before i arrive. and i'm axiously awaiting my 'hidden hey!'.
