Dear Boys,

Dear D,

I can't really stand you at all.

Ugh,
The BFF



to the gentleman in the blue,

you're way too cool of a guy to end up with someone who's going to mess you up as much as she will.

sincerely,
the girl in the gray



Dear Louis,

It's kind of annoying how I always go back to thinking that you're a pretty swell guy. But I mean ... you really are. It surprises me every time.

Love,
Niamh



Dear Line-back,

I don't think you know how much some of the things you do mean to me - but they mean a lot. You're pretty cool.

Love,
Stolen



Dear Taken,

It's not really fair how you're so incredibly attractive and good at everything and nice...and off-limits. And to top it all off, I actually think that you and your girlfriend are a really cute couple.

Love,
Her



Dear Muskateer,

You were the best - thank you for going along with all of the cute stuff.

Love,
Niamh



Dear Rooster,

Oy. The cockiness - it drives me insane!

Quit it, punk.
Niamh



My dearest Stripling Warrior,

I'm thankful for the girls in your life that are encouraging you to keep worthy. Don't worry, I have guys that are doing the same.

All my love and then some,
Your Virtuous Woman...in training

****Don't forget to enter the FIRMOO GIVEAWAY!****

Dear Boys,

 Dear Duck,

Glad that's over.

See ya,

Turtle

Dear Conductor.

I wish there was a way that  I could be nice to you 

without you attaching yourself to me indefinitely.

Love,

Niamh

Dear Deere,

You getting engaged wasn't really in the plans...

but congratulations anyway!

I'll get over it,

Doe

Dear Ewok.

Yeah, this whole "never-seeing-you-again" thing kinda sucks.

Come back?

Meep

Dear Louis,

You are thoroughly confusing.

 And so I'm stepping back.

Later,

Niamh

Dear B-Face,

I take it back. 

I was totally okay with you being pretty much

 officially out of my life. You can stay out now.

Love,

Niamh

My dearest Spaniard,

This week makes one year.

Can we go back to then?

Lovelovelove,

La Senorita

Dear Bloglovin',

I've gotten used to you. 

And I may have even - dare I say it? - learned to love you.

Love, 

Niamh

Dear Google,

I forgive you.

Love,

Niamh

***Follow me on Bloglovin' HERE***

Dear Boys,

Dear PeeWee,

We're already opposites - like black and white.
Too bad I'm so chicken!

Maybe next time,
Niamh


Dear Ewok,

I'm going to miss you THIS BIG. It's not fair.

Love you too,
Meep



Dear Prep,

I think I'm a winner every time that happens.

Lucky me!
Niamh



Dear NM,

I'm really proud of you.

Love,
JK



Dear Michelangelo,

I'll be sure to give you some extra points. Just because I think it's cute when you go out of your way like that.

Yours,
Niamh



Dear Line-back,

You're my new best friend.

Love,
Stolen


Dear Finals Week,

I've OWNED you so far. One more day and we're DONE!

Lovelovelove,
Exhausted Student

Dear Boys,

Dear Prep,

I like talking to you. I don't mind being distracted!

Ever your rival,
Niamh



Dear Michelangelo,

You, too. Find an excuse to do that more often.

Anytime,
Niamh



Dear Duck,

I suppose three words is an improvement on two words...but that's not exactly what I meant. I swear, if it's four words next time - just don't go there.

Love,
Turtle



Dear Tech-y,

Alright. New goal. I'm going to be nice to you (and about you).
Because I really do like you for the most part. I'm just going to have to deal with what I can't stand.

Please make this easy,
Independent



Dear Ewok,

You missed me. Don't lie.

Love you too,
Meep



Dear Big D and Bubba,

This whole "Bobby Bones Show" thing is really messing me up. He talks too much about everything that I don't care about at all at 5 in the morning. Come back to meeee!!!

Thank you kindly,
A Fan

Dear Boys,

Dear Armed-and-Dangerous,

Don't pull out 5-inch knives in in front of innocent bystanders. It's rather startling.

Thank you for your consideration,
An Innocent Bystander




Dear Duck,

Alright. Two words was nice for the moment, but I was kinda expecting some real communication to come shortly thereafter. Get on that, please.

Love,
Turtle



Dear Bacon Strips,

You're surprisingly...un-annoying. That's pleasant.

Yours,
Niamh



Dear Squint,

After initially being very disappointing, you've improved. Feel free to continue doing so!

Love,
Squash



Dear Tech-y,

No, it's not that serious.
No, I don't want to hang out.
No.

Independent



Dear Carrots,

It's been years...but you haven't changed a bit.

Lurve,
Blondie

Dear Boys,

Dear Boys,

Give me books. It's romantic, I promise.

Loves,
Niamh



Dear Duck,

These are really sucky circumstances to get to see each other under. I'm happy...but it's all so sad!

Love,
Turtle



Dear Tech-y,

I'm torn between getting rid of you for, like, ever and trying to keep being nice.
Which one would you prefer?

Yours,
Independent



Dear D,

I kinda feel bad for you. But then I think you're a jerk.
You two should never, ever, ever get back together.

Just sayin',
The BFF



Dear Milo,

You owe me a dance. Don't you forget it!

Love,
Your Bestest Friend



Dear Bloglovin',

I'm practicing using you to prepare for Google reader being gone...and I'm not liking it.

Ugh,
Niamh



Dear Google,

I may never forgive you for this.

Niamh

Dear Boys,

Dear NM,

Yeah, I am beautiful. Punk. Say it to my face.

Yours,
JK



Dear Tech-y,

Golly, you're awkward.
Also, I can talk to whatever guy I want. Back off.

Lurve,
Independent



Dear Ewok,

I got a hug! I got a hug!

Love you too,
Meep



Dear Peewee,

I will find an excuse every single time you want me to have lunch with you. We are NOT starting that up again. But out of the three of you, you are my favorite.

Yours,
Niamh



Dear Wanna-Be-Hipster,

Let's all stop for a second and remember that age is just a number...

Love,
Her



Dear Dough-boi,

I love how you don't mind us being total freaks. And what's more - you join in! I like you, kid.

Love,
Niamh



Dear Deere,

Your dad is setting us up. This is SO going to happen. I seriously can't wait until summer!

Love,
Doe



Dear Duck,

Is it bad that every time I talk to you, I am VERY strongly tempted to tell you all about my flirtations with guys here? I'm torn between doing that, and telling you that I actually kinda maybe miss you a little bit. Not sure which would be worse...

Love,
Turtle



Dear Dr. Octopus,

This whole situation just makes me laugh. I'm super excited to actually officially meet you!

Love ya already,
Blondie

Dear Boys,

Dear Duck,

This was supposed to be my "Happy-Birthday-to-you-and-goodbye-I'm-not-going-to-think-about-you-ever-again-and-you-have-officially-graduated-from-dear-boys" letter...but things kinda changed, didn't they?
And I'm not sure how I feel about that now. Ecstatic and ticked. Happy and nervous. Bipolar, to sum it up.

So...yeah. Happy Birthday!
Turtle



Dear Tech-y,

I might strangle you one of these days.
Figuratively, of course.
Keep your distance.

Lurve,
Independent



Dear Ewok,

I still haven't decided if being productive is worth missing out on you...

Love you too,
Meep



Dear Peewee,

Hm. Curiouser and curiouser. Still, better than last time.

Yours,
Niamh



Dear Dough-boi,

Way to break our perfect record... At least it was fun! #lonelyparameciumproblems

Love,
Niamh



Dear Michelangelo,

So guess how I'll be doing my hair more often?

Love,
Niamh



Dear Boys in General,

Not every date has to be so serious! Get over yourselves and just have some fun!

Thank you kindly,
Just fishing

Dear Boys,

Dear Red,

Such a gentleman...ish. But hey, thanks for teaching me how to golf.

Love,
Princess



Dear Louis,

Ugh. I know I shouldn't be rude...but ugh.
If you didn't hate me before, I'm 99% positive you probably should now.

Sorry-ish,
Niamh



Dear Train,

I'm sorry it didn't work out - please don't beat yourself up about it!

Love,
Niamh



Dear Ewok,

I definitely prefer watching movies with you...

Love you too,
Meep



Dear Tech-y,

It's nice to know that thus far you're remained entirely oblivious to how rude I am to you sometimes...

Lurve,
Independent



Dear Camaro,

Well, you're a new and totally unexpected variable...

Hm.
'Stang



Dear Dough-boi,

Nobody's died yet! I think we're a success.
Also, I'd eat potato starch with you anytime.

Yours,
Achilles



Dear Peewee,

I like this way better than whatever awkwardness it was that we left off on. Let's keep it this way, okay?

Love,
Niamh



My dearest Stripling Warrior,

Just so you know, I love that you're such a gentleman. Everyone else does too. And I love everyone in your life that is molding you to become whoever you're going to be when I meet you.

All my love and then some,
Your Virtuous Woman...in training

This is Who I'll Be Spending Valentine's Day With.

Dear Boys,

You're all useless. This is where the real love is:

Love,
Just Fine without You

Hope y'all  have a happy Valentine's Day -- I know I will!

Dear Boys,

Dear Caught Looking,

You got caught, I probably got caught...so how 'bout we stop sneaking around it?
Except I'm probably not going to be seeing you any time in the near future.
Wasted opportunities...

Oh, well,
Looking Back



Dear 12,

Thoroughly disappointed. Tho.rough.ly.

Patooie,
Not Katniss. Ever. Again.



Dear Deere,

I can't even believe that happened...On the plus side, you're coming home!
How about you just remember how my hair was romantic? And how your dad thinks I'd be worth waiting for?

Love,
Doe



Dear Baker,

I am SO. STINKING. TIRED. OF. YOU.
Go away. And learn to take NO for an answer.

No thank you. Not ever.
Niamh



Dear Attractive Acadorks,

You exist! Hallelujah!

Your admiring fan,
Our Lady in Red



Dear Michelangelo,

You have gorgeous eyes, you play guitar, and you're not a total jerk-wad . You just shot waaay up in my book!

Love,
Niamh



Dear Dough-boi,

I can't even being to tell you how much I am loving this arrangement so far. Here's to a semester of all the best kind of mishaps! I promise not to break the slides if you're careful with the scalpel...

Love,
Achilles



Dear Skater,

You are the reason I make eye contact with attractive strangers. You and your smile.

See you around campus...near the dorms?
Odyssey

Dear Boys,

Dear Baker,

I think I've messed things up with you pretty badly. I feel like I should probably feel a little worse about that...

Thank you for the fun, though.
Now good riddance!
Niamh



Dear D,

You're on my bad side again.
I think you just might be fun to strongly dislike.

Meh,
The BFF



Dear Peewee,

Don't be ridiculous! It's the fact that she agrees with you that has me a bit worried...

Love,
Niamh



Dear Tech-y,

He's being ridiculous, right?
And NO means NO.

Lovvve,
Independent



Dear Ewok,

I think you're funny.
You think I'm funny.
Let's be funny together!
Yeah?

Love,
Meep



Dear Dough-boi,

You are the most adorable kind of awkward, that really leans more towards not-awkward-at-all. That's my favorite kind!

Yours,
Achilles



Dear B-Face,

I can't even begin to tell you how strange it is to think that you are pretty much officially out of my life. As in, I'm probably never going to see you again. I'm not sure if I'm relieved, or what. You've caused me quite a lot of issues over the past few years. Not that you ever meant to, it just happened that way. So I should be relieved, but you were kind of a big part of my life. It's just...weird.
I'm glad we didn't say good-bye. That probably would've turned out even weirder.
So this is my goodbye - I wish you the absolute bestest, and I hope you find the one for you when you come home.

Return with honor!
Niamh

Dear Boys,

Dear Train,

I'm totally taking credit for this (yet again. What would you do without me?) You are going to have so much fun!!!

Love,
Niamh



Dear Junior,

You're too cute! And I totally let you win those games. Ish.

Anytime,
Rook



Dear Duck,

Wish it was you. Just a little.

Love,
Turtle



Dear Baker,

I'm sure it would have been adorable, and I appreciate the thought! It's your own fault for being so pushy earlier. So don't go taking it out on her.

Love,
Niamh



Dear D,

Hope you're going with Kayla's plan. It's cuter than yours.

Love,
The BFF



Dear Louis,

It's not going to be awkward. It's not. We'll flirt any awkwardness away - that's what we do best, isn't it?

Please?
Niamh



My dearest Spaniard,

Just found out that you won't be coming in town this summer.
That really stinks. Like, a lot.
I'm bummed.

Lovelovelove,
La Senorita



My dearest Stripling Warrior,

I've been on a major wedding kick lately...you should see the rapid growth of my Wedding board on Pinterest. And I've realized that you really don't need to stress about the proposal. I don't need bells and whistles and fireworks. Just you.
I'd prefer it wasn't in public - that's my one request. I've got an ugly crying face.

All my love and then some,
Your Virtuous Woman...in training

Dear Boys,

Dear Baker,

Erm...well. I really don't know where we stand right now...so it'd be nice if you could clue me in. Okay? I'm pretty much over all that awkwardness, if that helps at all.
And get it over with already, if you're going to.

Yours,
Niamh



Dear Duck,

50 days.

Love,
Turtle



Dear Tech-y,

I think I don't like how pushy you're being...I can manage my own life, really.
Thank you anyway, ish.

Lurve,
Independent



Dear Train,

You can't imagine how happy I am with this new twist in things! I'm quite determined to get you two together, somehow....

Love,
Niamh



Dear B-Face,

I'm pretty darn impressed that you remembered me saying that I loved miniature rose bushes. Now you've got the distinction of being two firsts for me - no one's ever gotten me flowers before!

Thank you!
Niamh



Dear D,

Just do it already! You have too many excuses. Rude.

Like,
The BFF



Dear Deere,

You know what I realized? You never came back. Not for Thanksgiving, or Christmas, or any part of Winter Break. I'm kinda super bummed.

Disappointed,
Doe



Dear Whiz,

I think I'll go back to having you be my most favorite...life was simpler then.

Love,
Niamh

Dear Boys,

You know what I realized a while ago? If any of the guys I write about were to read one of these posts, they would totally know which letter was for them....


Dear Term Paper,

It'd be oh so nice if you would write yourself...would you mind terribly?
I'd love you forever if you did...

Please?
L'Etudiant




Dear B-Face,

I've made a decision. It's not going to be awkward. We're going to have fun. And then it will never happen again.

You're welcome,
Niamh



Dear 12,

It'd be nice if you'd make it official as to whether or not you're not in the game anymore....

Just wondering,
Probably not Katniss anymore



Dear Ewok,

That was embarrassing. I reeeally hope they never talk to you about it...
But if they do, recall that you started it.

Love you too,
Meep



Dear Prep,

I feel like quite the over-achiever on that goal.
By the way, I am thoroughly impressed with how thoroughly unspoiled you are.

You had fun, too, right?
Niamh



Dear Troll,

You are heelarious. But you knew that.

Lurve,
Snickers



Dear Duck,

A thousand smiles and then a few more!

Love,
Turtle



Dear Michelangelo,

I'm liking this arrangement. It's definitely not awkward - thank you for that. :)

Love,
Niamh



Dear Stripling Warrior,

You should be glad I'm going through all this stress now...I'll get my act together and be nothing but pleasant when we're married. At least, I was thinking it'd be nice if that's how it turned out.

All my love and then some,
Your Virtuous Woman ... in training



Dear Hendrix,

I don't think I've ever cared so much about someone I don't really know. I can't wait to meet you someday...even if it's in heaven.
No child should ever have to go through what you have, but from what I hear, you've been a trooper.
You're amazing, kid!

Merry Christmas & lots of love,
All of us

Dear Boys,

Dear KickPushCoast,

No-shave November looks good on you.

Love,
Impressed


Dear Ewok,

You're a dork. But it's kind of adorable. Ish. :)

Love you too,
Meep


Dear Prep,

We've officially talked outside of school! Goal #2 accomplished. You wanna get me 12's number so I can accomplish #1?

Pretty Please?
Niamh


Dear 12,

Or you could give me your number yourself. Whichever.

Love,
Katniss


My dearest Stripling Warrior,

I really hope you like shooting. Because I think I like shooting. I'll get back to you on that after next Saturday. But how cute would that be? We could go shooting together!

All my love and then some,
Your Virtuous Woman ... in training


Dear Readers,

I think it's about time to bring up the no-reply issue again...
Click on that bright red button on the left to find out about it. Or read this post. If you're not sure whether not you fall under that category, here's an easy way to know - if you've ever commented on my blog and not received a reply, you are one. And if you can't remember, leave a comment on this post and if I don't get back to you, you're a no-reply commenter.

Y'all are the bestest!
Love,
Niamh

P.S. I'm grateful for

+ a healthy body

+ opportunities to challenge myself

+ when said opportunities are over with so

 I can look back and appreciate them

Dear Boys,

Dear Train,

I totally wasn't kidding about that date.
Unless you start lecturing me about Duck again. Then I'll take it back.
Try me.

Philio,
Niamh



Dear Duck,

It's been a really long month. And there's still a couple of weeks to go!

Love,
Turtle



My dearest Spaniard,

Is it kinda funny that you've been replaced by someone that's actually a Spaniard?

See you sometime,
La Senorita



Dear Ewok,

It's nice to know that you care enough to throw my music stand into the audience if I ever get gauges.
Thankfully, we'll never have to go through that, but it was a very sweet thought.

Love you too,
Meep



Dear 12,

Oh, my gooseness. I'm not even gonna lie, I was staring at you playing the piano during the entire Jazz Show. If we ever got married, I would make you play piano for me all.the.time.

Love,
Rethinking my Katniss status



Dear Doctor,

I was getting my hopes up, just a little, and then you went and brought your girlfriend to church. What is she still doing in California???

Meh,
Scarlet



My dearest Stripling Warrior,

I haven't been thinking about you nearly enough lately. I'll get on that, and keep working on being ready for you!

All my love and then some,
Your Virtuous Woman ... in training

P.S. I'm grateful for

+ friends who really get me

+ boys to write to :)

+ ice cold water and rolled down windows

Dear Boys,

Dear Red,

I don't even like you, but you were number one on my list for a while.
You do this and you're a winner - too cute!

Love,
Princess


Dear Duck,

Tonight! And Friday?

Lurve,
Turtle


Dear NM,

You're confusing.

Unsure,
JK



Dear Rabid,

You, too.

Yours,
Sane


Dear Train,

I'm sorry....but you don't need to treat me like I'm five!

Apologies,
Niamh

Dear Boys,

Dear Boys in General,

Last time, I was sick of you guys. Now I'm just sick.
*snifflecoughsneezewheeze*

Love,
Niamh



Dear Duck,

You make me smile. You can keep doing that for as long as you want:)

Love,
Turtle



Dear Tom,

Please go away. It's not that there's anything wrong with you, it's just...you're...you.

Sorry!
Niamh



My dearest Spaniard,

You're getting replaced...how many times do I have to tell you to move here already?

Lovelovelove,
La Senorita



Dear Hobbit,

You're cute. In, like, the sweet little kid kind of way. Which is definitely still a compliment!

Yours,
Niamh



Dear Cool Guy,

I'm not that young! At least you're trying to make up for somehow never noticing me before.

Sincerely,
Not a Frosh

Dear Boys,

Dear Boys in General,

I'm sick of you all.

Love,
Niamh



Dear Duck,

We all know you're totally leading me on. And, regardless of how happy it makes me (how you do it, not the leading on part), it's not cool!

Love,
Turtle



Dear D,

I don't like you anymore. Or approve.

The BFF




Dear Spaniard,

There's a house in my neighborhood for sale. Move here and be wonderful.

Lovelovelove,
La Senorita



My dearest Stripling Warrior,

Can we just get married now?

All my love and then some,
