Notes from a “lump” of Houston Sheraton Town & Country Stationery, circa 1990 or 91
Just so you know, I got an email from 200-page boy, who got an email from one of you asking, “ARE YOU 200-PAGE LETTER DOUGLAS THAT PAMIE’S WRITING ABOUT?!?” Small, small world. He was writing to let me know that he does, indeed, still have that letter. My first book! (Speaking of books, the galleys…

20, Nov., 1990
Let me start by saying I am appreciative of all the attention Little Pam has received. It’s not just the emails, the letters and poems you’ve unearthed and started posting on your own websites, or even the Facebook fan page someone started for LP (seriously), it’s this shared feeling of mortification and anxiety I’m causing.…

13, Nov., 1990
It’s raining outside and I just finished my chores. Seems only fitting to dive back into my unsent teenage love letters. When we last left Little Pam (LP), she had found a new fixation on which to Velcro her weepy heart. Five days later, she grabbed a red pen and then this happened. 13, Nov.,…

8 Nov 1990
I don’t even have an introduction to this because I’m just so… in awe of how much passionate heartache I was capable of feeling all by myself. Oh, man. Here we go. 8 Nov 1990 It doesn’t matter what I try to do. Every time I try to do something you start to take control…

1 Oct. 1990
So I found this stack of letters I never sent from twenty years ago that appear to chronicle a month-long, rather one-sided relationship I had with a boy who may or may not have ever known that I thought I was in love with him. This would be a good segue to explain why I…

No! Noo! Nooo! Noooo!
Try to pick which of the following dumb-ass moves I made in the past twenty-four hours: 1. In looking for a beloved earring, I managed to smash it underneath my shoe. Even over my own sobbing, I was able to hear my grandmother’s shrieks of horror from the afterlife. 2. While clearing space on the…

Activating Chao Camp: Absence of Dignity
July 4th Weekend, 2009: a bunch of fools descend upon Anna Beth Chao’s home in Monroe, Louisiana for four days of beer, music, Sonic, and whatnot. Anna Beth, Allison and Pamie talk about a number of issues, including the state of their hair (or lack thereof), their superpowers (or lack thereof), and dignity (or lack…

Making a Spectacle of Myself
As I prep to write my story of this past weekend’s bout, I figured I’d stall with these two stories. One: I got glasses. They’re only for reading, working, and driving at night, but that basically means they’re for every single second of my life. This is a big deal for me, as I used…

Activating Dana
Shot during the first weekend of Eyesplosion ’09, I take a study break with Dana in an attempt to activate her. She was supposed to talk about how she “hates injustice.” But she never really got off the subject of me. At fourteen minutes in two parts, it’s an extra-long Activating. But in my defense,…

in celebration of hot nerdy boys.
[scripty] PAMIE How was the rest of your weekend? DANA Good. I just… I’m so frustrated, because I’m having to do all these graphs for this class, and I don’t understand some of this computer shit. I mean, I’m very smart. Obviously. But then like, I don’t have to know Excel for any part of…
