It is one of things I can never understand … how people can think that way. It’s so illogical that it can only be based upon moronity.

Hi, Naomi.
I miss your guts. I don’t know if you check facebook anymore. That’s the only way I knew to get in touch with you. I left you a message. I’m moving to India. I’m leaving tonight. I need your summer address, so I can write you.
Love.

It is not so bad to not be able to write any other life than your own. Most authors (if not all) do that in some capacity anyway, and besides, you have lived many lives.
You are demonizing me, aren’t you? Literally.

I am glad you wrote this to make fun of people. I can think of no nobler purpose for this catastrophe.

I think, it fortell communist America revolution in 21st Century overturning captitalist pigdog and there won’t any Dollars, only everyone work together for common delight!

Or, maybe also you design America Dollars in Future America Treasury!

Other interpretations:

It might mean you’re supposed to switch to debit or credit instead of cash.

The counterfeit currency probably represents the artistic aesthetics of popular music:
“Whoever makes it, tells it not.
Whoever takes it, knows it not.
And whoever knows it, wants it not.”

Aww, maybe it is just student loans looming ahead. I know how you feel and then some, if that is the problem: I’ll be something like $100,000+ in debt when I graduate, and there is no way in my life I can imagine I will ever be able to pay for it.
It seems so unjust. Society tells you that you must get an education as we have to do the things we want to do and be generally worthwhile, but then it creates so many people with negative net worths.
I still predict that despite everything, you will be way ahead of me financially in the next five years. It just always seems to work out that way. Plus, you do not have glass ceilings and Good Old Boys to contend with.
Your money will be green someday.

I agree that we must always be writing. It’s tough to stick to. I struggle with feeling like everything I write has to be Important.

Don’t know if you know who I am, but your brother does. I say, keep writing. Here is as good a place as any.

Yeah, it has been a little emo. But I agree about practicing–and when your spirit lifts a bit, your work will pick up right there with you, and reflect all the work you’ve done since (I mean instead of sticking around as a bad habit. Just don’t stay sad and bitter; that will kill it like a polar bear devouring a baby seal, his fangs glistenin with blood and–well you know what I’m saying.)
