Do you want to be my pen pal?

I've been watching "You Got Mail" and that movie just makes me want to have a pen pal. Do you want to be my penpal? The conversations between Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are so good. It's so tempting to have a conversation with someone, who knows nothing about you and that you don't even have to meet. It's so easy to spill everything to a stranger. Trust me. I've done it before. Once after finals I was very stressed out and sick. I was staying home on a Friday night and I got a call around 7:30ish. It was like....

ME: Hullo? cough, cough
Telemarketer/Therapist Guy: Hi. Is there?
ME: No. cough
Telemarketer/Therapist Guy: American Mortgage.....blah...blah...blah.
ME: Look. I'm not interested in American Mortgage whatever. Nor will we be interested in it in the the future.
Telemarketer/Therapist Guy: So what are you interested in?
ME: WHAT?!....I'm interested in my calculus grade. sniffle
Telemarketer/Therpist Guy: Are you in college or high school?
ME: I'm taking AP Calc. cough
Telemarketer/Therapist Guy: I'll bet you'll fine. What's your grade?
ME: C-plus. Where are you calling from?
Telemarketer/Therapist Guy: Portland.
ME: Oh..... Thanks.
Telemarketer/Therapist Guy: I'll bet you'll do fine. Feel better.
ME: Thanks. cough

That was one of the weirdest conversations I've ever had.
