~Chapter 6: Mind of McHenry~
In the Mind of McHenry: A Note to Self...
I've never really imagined myself as the kind of girl who could snag Mr. Perfect. Even though (apparently) I give great advice (because it seems like everyone else's love life is going just great, except for mine), I know all the right things to say, and just exactly what you should do, I don't have a boyfriend. Zip. Zero. Zilch.
All the guys that like me are ...well...different (as you have learned from Preston), and I have high standards. When I was ranting to Bex about high standards the other night, she laughed in my face.
"Dude, you're never gonna find someone with an accent, abs, and nice handwriting that isn't gay."
I told her to shut up 'cause a girl can dream.
But, can we? Can we really? Where the hell is dreaming gonna get you when you're on a Salvadorian Mission with only a nail file for protection? Where can get you dreaming get you when it's life or death disabling a dirty bomb? Where can dreaming get you at three in the morning when you're craving some of Chef Louis' creme brulee? Where? Tell me. All that dreaming can get you in the last scenario is a wishful thought possibly maybe he sorta could have left some left overs...that might mysteriously disappear. But that's not the point. Dreaming. Dreaming can get you know where. Doing can get you somewhere. The trick is to chase your dreams.

Hey girls,
I know it's summer and all, and I miss you guys SO MUCH! Bex, I hope you're having fun in Cancun; Liz, don't fall asleep by the pool; Cam, try not to die of boredom on that godforsaken ranch in Nebraska.
I just wanted to chitchat and letcha guys know what's new :)
1. Daddy might buy one of the Hawaiian Islands. Spring Vacation? ;)
2. I got some new shoes. Yes, I know what you're thinking, "Wow, Macey, congratulations, it's only your 7,345,912nd 'new pair' this month. I hope you're happy with your spending." Well thank you. I am very happy with my spending.
3. I like someone.
Okay bye!

Dear Macey,
I would first like to start this message by saying that I am extremely sorry that there were some technicalities that prevented the self-destruction of your message. If you would like some pointers on great ways to arranging certain death to your emails, I would be delighted to help you out.
Secondly, congratulations. I'm glad you finally found someone that lives up to your higher-than-the-Empire-State-standards. Tell me all about him.
Also, thank you for warning me about resting by the pool. Sadly, I already did (and I have the aloe to prove it).
Hope your summer's bliss!
Love,
~Liz
Leave it to Liz to send a long message with advice on how to properly set-up an email so that it can self-destruct.
Yours truly,
~Macey McHenry
