Ex Best Friend
FOUND by Belina S. in Unknown
I found this on the ground outside of my old elementary school. Girls will be girls.

I'm not sure why...but it feels like there's something 'fishy' about this one.

My first thought wishing they didn't have magical day was it was Leprechaun from Lucky Charms writing this..thems is fighting words!!!

The next week, she wrote her father a similar note... but scrapped it and drew her future self- tats, missing shins, and all. :]


hahah, I think I may have received something similar to this in the fifth grade.

Actually... HER name was Amy. How funny!
+ March 24, 2009 12:55 AM +
guess.
Furthermore, I will NEVER, EVER again sing Bad Medicine for you at karaoke at Cav's. I mean, really. What's in it for me?

(oh, I'm just kidding, Amy. You know I love you forever.)

he girl was a skinny as a stick. Not that I was all that much more shapely but, really, her hair was was totally unmanageable, so I really couldn't be seen in publ

On the plus side, though, it's nice to know that both girls can keep smiling through the hard times.

You know, maybe Amy is just one of those people that's hard to like. I remember just the other day, Percy hoped she'd shit in her pants!

She was fed up with the condom-throwing incident. She thought they were best friends, but as it turned out, Amy instigated the whole episode.
Way to stick up for yourself, Amy's Ex Best Friend!

In some cultures when someone draws a stick figure likeness of you, and then scratches it out it means some very, very bad voodoo is going to happend to Amy....

I remember grade 5. Sigh. It was like that. We made up friendship contacts and then ripped them up when we were mad. Guess girls don't change. Amy and her ex-best friend were probably best friends again by the next day

Do you think one of the 7 American Appalling guys could hand over a spare pair of shorts to the toasty AA girl that lost her pants? Then maybe pants-less could then pay it forward and give her sports coat to the nipply suspenders girl...

Whoa...the drawing of the evil little face with the billowing hair following "I hope you do NOT have a magical day!!" is creepy. It looks like some bad mojo to me.

(But I must admit, the fact I'm reading Duma Key by Stephen King might have something to do with it.)

Mom Interrupted in a magical way.
Wow. Teachers can be so bitchy towards one another sometimes.

Let's see if Amy lets you borrow her lesson plans NOW, ex-bff.

If I were Amy's ex-best-friend, I would have wished her a magical day, in the sense that maybe she would disappear in a puff of smoke, never to be seen or heard from again.

I'm glad I'm too distracted by the Finds to even notice the American Apparel ads. It probably saves me a lot of pointless bitching and whining about something that helps keep this site alive.

Oh my GOD! To "baby basil in the herb garden" I wish you would stop posting on here. You are so pretentious. Take a chill pill and stop commenting on the quality of writing because these items are BEAUTIFUL and your critiques DO NOT MATTER!

the exclamation marks after I hate you look like a cute little bunny.

I'm sure you all noticed, but Belina S. in unknown also brought us

this lovely gem of a Find.

Thanks, Belina! And if you have a moment, I'd love to know where "unknown" is.. where'd you Find these? (city, state/province, country?)
They're both very cute.

It's fitting that this note came from an elementary school. Right around fourth grade, I think - though some girls are ahead of the curve - is when girls start being MEAN to each other. Before then, girls can get in big fights, scream "I hate you" and "I'm never talking to you again"... and within a week (heck, within 24 hours) they'll be Best Best Best Best Friends again. Until fourth grade, when the Outcast girl is chosen, and notes like this are written.

is now in love with farmer
i must admit i never used to get farmer. i did not find his posts amusing and i wondered what all the fuss was about. then today while looking at my daily found i found myself wanting to see what farmer wrote, and only what farmer wrote.

I like Farmer's recently posting modification style myself...

In fact, Lilly hated Amy because it turned out the reason Owen wouldn't kiss her was because he liked Amy! This kind of drama was common in their elementary school. "I hope you do NOT have a magical day" referred to her question to Owen, "Do you like magic?"

@Laura; thanks for confirming my importance on Found. Being flamed means one is so intrinsically a part of a community that one attracts the attention of relatively new posters who wish they were you. I had no idea I was so important, thanks for pointing that out.

And the one showing hostility is the one who could benefit from chill pills, mine thinkit. While you're at it, look up "irony" and then re-read my post.

Rebecca, I was once told (by a girl) that the difference between preadolescent boys and girls in the "meanness" stakes is this: boys will physically test each other by fighting, shoving etc. Once the new boy proves he isn't a coward or a whiner, he is accepted into the hierarchy of the group. However, among the girls, the test consists of how many times they can reduce the "target" to tears in a single day.

There's a thin line between love and hate. In this case a thick zigzaggy line.

Ex best friends all around! Now, you just shake hands and wish each other a magical day, or there'll be scribble on someone's face before long...

tien in in your head
Is there a potential that this was originally a nice note then her ex best friend did something that made her change it? Perhaps it would explain the hearts.. Strangely I relate to this note right now though about lovers, not friends

What do you think she did to deserve becoming an ex best friend?

I reckon she slept with her friends boyfriend. Gotta be that.

um, yeah, this is fake.

look at how the writing looks like text printed on top of a graphic of crumpled paper. if the paper is crumpled, why aren't any of the letters distorted?
+ March 28, 2009 06:51 PM +

What about
the A in Amy
d in wanted
t in let
w in now
t in hate
and y in you
(all in the top portion of the note)
(not to mention the hair on the stick girl on the right)

These are all distorted because they're on the shadow side of their crinkles. If you look at the bottom portion of the note you'll see the same thing occurring.
