my blog is not a substitute for me

My dearest peeps,

Back in March or April (I forget), my buddy Matt left the East Coast for the Best Coast. He then started a blog. He posts about all sorts of stuff—moving, meeting new people, checking out new places. It was a great way for me to keep in touch with him. I love reading his little stories.

Inspired by Matt, an OC girl living in a blah, blah, blah was born. I wanted my blog to be an easy way for my friends to get a Lizzie fix. Everything I post truly is me—honest and uncensored. Let’s get one thing straight though. My blog is not a substitute for the real thing.

Since the blog started, I hear from you guys with less and less frequency. I love that you read all about me and what crazy things I’m up to next. But the thing is, I wanna know about you. I’m curious to know how your lives are going. I have to know what your thoughts are. Please tell me about your love lives. I shouldn’t have to find out that you have a boyfriend because the relationship status on your MySpace page has changed (even so, I still love ya, Bruin).

I know that some of you think that Jesse and I are joined at the hip. Yes, that’s probably true. I'm not gonna front. We're a package deal. But I have not turned in to the girl who is all about her boyfriend. After all, you’re my friends, first and foremost. So here is my plan. Over the next couple of days, you will be hearing from me, either by email or phone (depending on the number of remaining cell phone minutes).

Why am I doing this? Because I miss you. And I want to say hi!
