Letter
FOUND by Hana
in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Last summer, while crossing College and Yonge Streets, I looked over at a phone booth. There was something red on top of it and I went to investigate. I'd assumed it was an address book until I opened it up to find a letter written inside of a coiled notebook with a fuzzy bell on the cover. It was someone writing a break-up letter to someone else named "squiggly." There were lots of phone numbers in the last page of the book and we tried to call the voice mail number in order to return the book, but had no luck. So I took it home.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
finally! another person who measures his/her life in Smiths.
Looks like it's "breakup note" week on Found. Except this is a "wish we hadn't broken up" note.
And that's "5 months."
"I still fucking miss you." Nice, real romantic. We sound angry. "I lost another 5 months of my life 4 you." And yet the writer is obviously irate, and sees the person written to as "mine", how dare you leave me after I wasted all this time on you?
Plus methadone...I think I know why they left. Smart move.
Do we get to see the other side?
I agree, i'd like to see the other side.. Get the feeling maybe they met at 'jun 6th in MTL'... or is that just me?
Wow. Rehab Romance gone bad. Go Figure.
Any country song in the making.
WTG Hana - now the person that lost the book has NO idea where it may be. Hope you're happy with it now.
Twit.
she said that she called numbers in the book, grumpy. cut hana some slack
Coffee almost came out my nose when I read your comment, man behind the curtain. Measuring your life in smiths!!!!
It almost sounds to me like it's a love letter to the heroin the writer is missing.
Just because someone is on Methadone does not mean that they're a bad person. At least they're getting help and have realized that they have a problem.
SHEESH!
Anyhoo, it's a good thing h/she did sign for their Methadone because if h/she didn't...who knows? Relapse? Overose? Death?
I do know that when a person is on a Methadone Maintenance Program, if they don't get their drink, they go into withdrawl.
Good Luck to the author on your recovery...addiction is a disease that'll be with you forever. But you CAN overcome it.
I forgot to add...A *FOUND* found in Toronto!!!! HOORAY!!
I thought he lost another Smurfs. But I can see Smiths too.
I didn't realize you could drink methadone. Who knew? And what did she think that he did? I'd like to read the back.
@ CHILLIN- In Toronto, Ontario, you get your Methadone drink mixed with Tang or Apple juice.
I've heard in the USA, some States prescribe it in pill form?
A methadone drink? Can I get that diet and no caffeine (with a straw, please)?
"I lost another [?] of my life 4 you.." What does that say? Smiths? Smidgeon? Something? Sunday? Smreths?
Oh! I think it says "9 months."
"I lost another 9 months of my life for you."
Or maybe it's 5 months.
Canadians, does "Jun 6th in MTL!" mean "... in Montreal"?
Or is it "... in M + L"?
Or what?
This looks kind of wordy and long for someone who claimed he didn't know what to say. That seems to be the way it goes with anyone who says "I don't know what to say". Those people usually have plenty to say and they don't usually hold back.
@Holly--thanks for the clarification...sounds delicious!
I think "I don't know what to say" is often used in place of "Please feel sorry for me while I tell you exactly how I feel". Just my opinion.
Holy moley, there are a lot of stories in that one note! Or, maybe just one sad one...
It could be Montreal, that is a common abbreviation of it.
No worries, CHILLIN!!
And, yes...it's the abb. for Montreal, Quebec. Canada.
Ah, Montreal Methadone ... a.k.a. the Best-Dressed-Princess-What-Were-You-Thinking-Drink.
Is anyone else creeped out by the ads for the American Apparel bodysuits?
Methadone for heroin addicts is just pharmaceutical heroin. They're junkies just like an active user. Good riddance!
@Butter in your fridge
I am always creeped out by the American Apparel bodysuits!
=]
Oh wow, I was actually going to say to one of my ex's today "I still fucking miss you".
I was almost convinced to that they lost Smurfs.
I'm just dying to see the back side of this note!
And there's really only two ways to wear the American Apparel "Le Sac Dress". With or without the belt.
" I lost another Smiths of my life to you..."
My Mother's side of the family are Smiths...so makes me wonder which Smiths the writer lost?
Were Jonny and David, brothers, the ones lost? Or maybe Carol and Kathy? Maybe David and Carol were the Smiths lost? Weird.
Hmmmm let's substitute some other common names in this sentence:
I lost another Brown of my life to you...
Nahh.. How about:
I lost another Jones of my life to you..
Maybe...
I lost another Rodriguez of my life to you..
Interesting...
I lost another Chang of my life to you...
Better.
I lost another Ng of my life to you...
That's it!
I still fucking miss you, too
(really, I miss your drugs. You, I don't give a rat's ass about)
Dude, I totally miss you, I really fucking miss you. I'm all alone, all the time, all the time...
I think the word is--smatter.
fake!
@ TERRIE- Ahaha! I like that one, girlie! I was thinkin' it could also say, **Smirnoffs**!!
@ LIBRARIAN- LOL! Montreal, Methadone!! Definitely, a *Coffee-nasal-Squirtter* post! Imagine...a province with that name?
@ FOOCH- Ahhhh...the best for last! "May I get that *Methadone Margerita* with a slice of lime, please? And x-tra salt? The Methadone gives me tongue-cankers, but, the salt really helps!"
All of the above are freakin' hilarious!! Thanks...you bunch of *METHADONE-MANIACS!*
Alas... where are the folks who can decipher the other-side of Found notes???? We NEED you now!!
sorry Cameila. I usually give it a shot, but this one isn't giving up many clues from the back side. There's just too much small, dark writing on the front. All I got was "again" on the top line and "if you did" On the second line.
(then something that almost looks like spatula, but that just can't be right.)
maybe I'll try later on a different computer, see if there's anything else. (I can almost guarantee, though, that it says "I'd really like to know if you really thought I did heroin again..."
I was guessing that MTL is the 3 letter IATA airport code for Montreal (like PDX for Portland and SEA for SEA-TAC) But it's not. (it's for Maitland, Australia's airport.)
There are too many comments
This reminds me too much of my life right now. My ex and I started doing heroin together and yeah, maybe I wasted 2 years of my life with him, but he's in CT now and I still miss him. I could have totally written this to him, or to heroin, whatever.
