Expectations

Dear Maria,

Yes, you’re right, I do not have long nails. I loathe long nails. In fact, when I was a child, I used to see how short I could cut my nails. They are so short they make some people wince. I am quite a small person, so my fingers are relatively long (I used to play the piano — badly — too). And it is definitely my opinion that the crafting I do and long nails don’t work.

I don’t, however, wear rings often. Not because I don’t like them, but because I’m too lazy. My style tends toward silver or platinum, non-delicate styles.

Love,
Andrea

P.S. I think Clive Thompson is cute too. Rowr.
