61. The End.

To the Fish Inspector,

Dearest friend, you've been with me for the entirety of high school. You worked hard as my keeper of pictures and recorder of days and so it's finally time to retire.

Hang up the raggedy old coat, place the magnifying glass in its case one final time, and find all those lost vacation plans. 

I promise to visit often. 

With affection, 

sam.

Idk if you guys remember this, but this is back from early early sophomore(?) year and I reblogged one of those things that asks people to put thing in my ask but I never answered them and I obviously can't go on without writing a response in the form of run on sentences. I bet you didn't think I still had this hanging around but I do and I'm tidying up loose ends before I finish this tumblr haha.

Dear person I like, 

I like you because you make for good company and I wish we started speaking more intimately sooner. 

I like you because of our conversations.

I like you because you're more interested in something important than I am and it's encouraging to have someone there.

I like you because I used to not like you haha.

I like you because there's nothing romantic between us because you always seem to have someone liking you and that always causes unnecessary complications so I like you ever-so-much as a darling friend.

I like you because you have a large variety of nicknames for me ranging from an amphibian to a mistake. 

I like you because you ask if I want to hold your hand 

and I always do.

With affection, 

samantha.

Dear Person I Had a Crush On

Sometimes, I think you're a much wiser person than I am because there's something so simple and straightforward in the way you understand things. You're a very good person and I wish you the best, you silly elk. Keep on working hard. As you've once told me, if you're not in first place, then you're a loser. Ahahahaa~

With affection, 

samantha.

Dear Future Me,

I should have written this two-ish years ago when it was asked just so I could have reread it at this moment and either slinked away in embarrassment or laughed in humiliation (it's all the same really and both were probably bound to happen). Regardless, I hope you defrost a little and become a better person. Keep in touch with the friends you've made and especially the ones you've essentially spent all summer with; you love them, alright? Get over yourself. Become closer to your family. Sleep earlier. You told someone earlier this evening, the silence at 4AM from waking up from sleep and the silence at 4AM from staying up all night is different. Enough of being lonely, enough of moping. You're a person, too. I hope you find something you really like and keep with it. You explained once that being a human was the most valuable thing because it's a physical manifestation of the most precious commodity in this world and possibly universe; to settle or to compromise as it would be the cruelest form of suicide and a tragic waste of time. Remember your Principles. Don't forget Jack London's Credo, because he's right.

Good luck.

-Samantha.

  Dear Person I Hate,

I think I have a love-hate relationship with myself depending on the day, weather, time, situation and circumstance, mood, alignment of the stars and planets, height of the tide, and particular position I'm sitting/standing/laying in. 

It's alright though, because I think, you've never really hated anything unless you've felt love and you've never really loved anything unless you've felt hate. It's a paradoxical thing. The greatest things are the hardest haha.

Love,

Samantha.

Sherlock by Tea Ser

The Sherlock Holmes is a split Level establishment with a bar on the ground floor and on the first floor, an intimate, covered roof garden and the Sherlock Holmes restaurant.

The study can be viewed from both the roof garden and the restaurant, with an entire wall of the study being glass plated to give commanding views from where you are eating.

Evening out in the city. Ate at Dhaba in Curry Hill (cute name for a region of the city). Walked around. Ended up in Macy's for a bathroom run. Train home. Ferry. Light and easy night. Turned out better than we expected..."I hope this plan works." And it did.

At the original restaurant we were planning for, I told Ira to make the reservations but he couldn't get through, so he asked me to call and they said they were booked. Apparently, (Ira and I both didn't know this) Patrick called, too and he couldn't get a reservation. BUT imagine we all managed to snag a spot at the restaurant, we would've arranged 2-3 reservations. LOL miscommunication. 

[thefishinspector]

LOL oh Ira...and Patrick's hand ahaa... @thepengyo @eemaisg and everyone else who is instagramless ):
