Dear Holland,
I know this is stupid of me to do, but I'm nervous about telling you this face to face. And I know right about now you're thinking that this is pretty girly, but… but… it isn't! Please let me say that before I start this confession.
And no, this is not a love confession! I know there's… something, I'm not sure what between you and Miss Talho, so I'll leave it at that. I just wanted to let you know that before I start this confession.
For a long time now, I've noticed something. Something so indiscreet about you. It's like… it's like that feeling I get when I go into a Corralian cloud (don't start thinking I'm perverted with Eureka, 'cause I'm not). It's like… a realization, just all these feelings and emotions being put together to make… something, I'm not sure what. But it's something.
This something is your name. I took History class back in Bellforest, and we did a short study on the 20th Century and what it was like. It was pretty brutal from what I remember, lots of wars and pointless fighting… it kind of sounds like today, but with less LFOs and KLFs. Anyway, there was this place – a country that was named Holland! I mean, I don't think back to my schoolyears much on the GekkoGo, but… but it just hit me! Then, when I tried to remember what I had learned about Holland, it all hit me!
One thing I remembered about this country was that it had windmills, these giant towers that had blades spinning on their sides to help the people running them do work and make electricity. That's pretty smart, when I think about it. But when I look back on it now, you remind me of a windmill, Holland! You're big and tall and you serve as a pillar for other people, like a source or an aid to help people to continue living! But since these windmills are used so much, they end up becoming ugly and break down a lot…
WAIT WAIT WAIT! I mean, I don't mean to insult you, not in the least! I was just rambling about the windmills, not you. But, since I was comparing the country Holland and windmills to you, does that mean I indirectly insulted you? Oh no…
Anyway, that's all I wanted to say. If you got bored half-way through (you probably did), just read this part then: Holland, I think your name is awesome because it is named after a country that got bombed and this country had windmills!
Ah! I insulted you again somehow, didn't I? Please don't lock me up in the brig for a week again for this letter, please! Someone has to protect Eureka!
Sincerely Yours,
Renton
