Sorry Guys

Um, I know that there aren't many people who read this blog and I don't write these posts for myself. I've been going through some really tough stuff and I'm really sorry that I haven't posted in a while. If you guys have any ideas on how I can stop what's going on right now I'd accept any suggestions.

Cheers, DFTBA, and Good Night.


I took down my letter to John Green because:

a) He's probably really busy and won't read it.

b) It wasn't my best writing.

c) He's a really awesome person and he doesn't need to be concerned with my petty problems.

I may post another one later if I really need some help. At that point, I really am gonna need you guys to tweet, reblog, pin, and facebook recommend it John Green's way. Actually, I would appreciate it if you guys would do this for anyone that I write a letter to.


I'm really sorry that I haven't been posting and I'll try to get into a better routine for this. A more entertaining post will be out soon guys!

Cheers, DFTBA, and Good Night.

Dear Travelers

Uh huh. Oh yeah. Let's write a super ambiguous letter today!



Dear Travelers,

Whether you be old or young, you are doing something that will stay with you for the rest of your life! Congratulations! Now, here are a few things that people find annoying about you guys.

1. Boasting. You (well, we, but for the purpose of this letter it's going to be you) boast about the places you get to go. There are some people who don't get to go anywhere. Like, they stay in the same town for their whole life. So, when you are talking about your travels, don't lay it on too thick.

2. Seat-Hogging. When you're in an airport, does your baggage really need to go on the seat? Seats are for people and occasionally animals. Not bags and boxes.

3. Punctuality. Please please please be on time when you get to the airport or wherever you go really.

4. Foreign Cash. GET IT OUT OF YOUR WALLET AS SOON AS YOU GET OUT OF THE AIRPORT. Nobody likes being behind the guy who is sifting through baht, won, yen, and yuan to get to the USD. Believe me. I've been on both sides before. If you find other currency in your wallet when you go to pay, just let others go in front of you.

5. Be nice. Believe me, I know how it feels when you get off a 14 hour flight and someone picks you up from the airport and all they want to do is talk. Tell them nicely that you need some rest or that you don't want to talk. Don't snap at them.

That's just about it. Thank you guys. Keep traveling!

Cheers, DFTBA, and Good Night.

Dear John Green

First letter! Let's see how this goes...
Dear John Green,

Um, hi. It's always awkward starting these things. My name is Anna Grace. I'm a teenage nerdfighter and expat. There's not much that I'd rather do than read and write, although being able to do it whenever I want to is definitely one of the ways that I can keep in practice. You know what they say! Practice makes perfect. I'm sorry if this letter doesn't make sense. I've written this letter at least a thousand times, trying to figure out what to say.

Anyway, back to what I was talking about.

John (may I call you John?), when I stumbled upon your book, Looking for Alaska, and then TFIOS and later An Abundance of Katherines, I knew that I needed to figure out how you wrote all of these meaningful and amazing books. That's when I stumbled upon your brother's musical about Tumblr. I saw that his last name was the same as your's, and I just had to know more. By this point in my life, I didn't know that I was a nerd. I just thought that I was really weird and didn't really belong. That was essentially my introduction to Nerdfighteria. Then I found CrashCourse, but that's a story for later.

You showed me that YouTube wasn't all bad. That it wasn't all weird and full of strange swear words that I didn't know. You showed me that writing isn't a waste of time. That it's ok to be weird and nerdy in the literature and history type way. You, you changed my life in such a way that I just feel like this letter doesn't do it justice. 

There was this one part of my life, it wasn't the best part, and you helped. You didn't even know it! 
I wasn't clinically depressed. They call it situational depression. It's basically depression caused by certain events. Reading your books, it was both therapy and made me need therapy. Your videos were so encouraging and uplifting, even if it was about Ebola. You gave me hope, and hope was just what I needed at that point in my life.

So thank you John. Thank you, and DFTBA.

Anna Grace

Dear (Insert Random Vaguely Famous Person Here)

I have a lot of words. That's something that I don't think anyone will deny. I have a lot in me that needs to be said and if you know me, it will come out one way or another. There are so many people who have impacted my life that deserve to know what I think of them or what I really want to say to them. I know that the intended recipient probably won't see this, but the Internet is a wild and wonderful place. Maybe it will find it's way to whomever it's addressed to. Maybe.

Anyway, I'm starting tomorrow. You'll see letters to Youtubers, Presidents, Viners, News Anchors', and many more people! Maybe I'll just send letters to people with certain characteristics! I have no idea.



Cheers, DFTBA, and Good Night.
