Chelsea leaned back in her computer chair stretching her arms over her head. As she leaned forward to look at the e-mail she was writing to her pen pal, Alex, she began playing with her long blonde hair that was up in a very lazy ponytail. She grunted as she stood up and walked to her refrigerator to grab a Mountain Dew, for some reason she was having a very hard time writing the latest reply. She had had a very long, very stressful day and wasn't wanting to sound whiny or like all she had to do was complain today. She wanted something funny or witty to say. She'd "known" Alex since she was about 16 when she started some pen pal program in high school for some extra credit and she couldn't have been happier to have done it because Alex was an amazing person to talk to but sometimes she felt her life was just so boring that she didn't know what to say in her responses, she just knew that she wanted to keep talking to her. Chelsea threw her mountain dew bottle on the bed and unplugged her laptop before walking over to her bed and plopping down, almost smacking herself in the face with the laptop. She scooted back to her wall and piled the pillows up around and behind her like a sort of nest and watched as her new puppy started bouncing before successfully getting onto the bed and lying at her feet before reading over what she had already written, it wasn't much but it was a start.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Hey Pup,<br/><br/>Hope everything's been alright with you lately. Sorry for being a little slower than usual to reply. Things have been a little crazy around here recently. I've missed talking to you like crazy. Despite it being pretty hectic, not much has actually happened. Well, something pretty great did happen. I got myself a puppy! His name is Chewy. Well, actually, his name is Chewbacca but Chewy for short. He's adorable, I bet you would love him! He's what we call a Pomsky. Pomeranian husky mix. I'll have to send photos when I get some. I can't believe I don't have any on my computer yet! Work today was really stressful, I'm thinking about quitting and pursuing a career in something like.... Being a tattoo artist or something. I don't know. Haha."</span><br/><br/>And that's as far as she had gotten. She felt that her life was just kind of at a stand still. She didn't have any relationship drama to discuss or any really good news to share. Though, at least she could say she was being real and honest in what she was writing. She looked down at Chewy and pushed him slightly with the bottom of her right foot and chuckled as he looked around as if something major had just happened. She looked back at her laptop screen and finished up the e-mail with a couple of more sentences, simply asking how Alex had been the last week and what she had been up to lately. She sighed as she pushed the "Send E-mail" button feeling like a complete failure for not having much to say tonight. She shut down the laptop and slowly closed it before setting it on her night stand and shut off her bed side lamp and curled up under her blankets with Chewy curled up next to her and she fell asleep cuddling an old sock monkey from when she was a little girl.
