Dear Pencil Sharpener,1
It has been a long time since I have conversed with you. In fact, I am in need of your assistance. You see, due to technological advances, many have not found you to be a necessity in their lives. I want you to know that you are needed.2
I have a fifteen page report due tomorrow. Yes, I have procrastinated, and my pencils are dull. My computer jumped off a cliff. I swear, I didn't throw it down there when America Online forfeited service to me!3
Well, as you can see, it would really be appreciated if you could do me a favor. Sharpen my pencils. Their pain is needed to complete my destination in life.4
You may think that I am sucking up to you, dear pencil sharpener, but I am not. You will always be by my side after helping me on such an occasion. That is, if my plea is given a chance, if you arrange a meeting with me, and if you help a girl out every once and a while.5
Thank you for the common courtesy of taking the time to be informed of my situation.6
Sincerely,7
A Girl in Need of a Lot of Help(I HAVE ISSUES!)8
P.S. Did I mention how nice you looked today? That wood finish on the desk really brought out the color of your eye.9

I am glad to have brightened your day. I just thought of something random here, looked on the computer desk, and saw the perncil sharpener. Well, it was a fun write and you should try writing random things. It really makes you feel better!

Ari, this is hilarious! I was looking forward to reading this again, because I laughed the first time I read it when you had just entered it. Sorry for taking so long to comment, though.
When I was at school, I wrote a strange letter thing for a competition. We had to write about our dream job. I wrote about being an undercover cornflake for the FBI. Yes, I really did. We are as odd as each other. Thank you for the giggle, it was well needed.

truly one of the most inspired bits of writing i've seen in quite a while. it should be read aloud to appreciate the simple flow and ease of this. amusing, yes, but very telling about where we grasp for inspiration. Blessings and best wishes, ~richard

Random. random rules.

lol That was hilarious! This was definately completely random, which is okay because random stories are usually stupid and funny. I am so used to seeing random stories- all of them being mine. I never see anyone else write so randomly like this. (about a pencil sharpener! HA!) This was definetly original and I think anyone would be crazy not to at least give an Honorable Mention, if not 3rd place trophey and points. Great write. Definately got a kick out of this one! -Tyler
