I've never written a fan letter before so you'll have to bear with me. The 'how to" guide I've consulted tells me that I'm supposed to tell you the basics about myself. I guess the's to humanize me... My name is Molly, but you knew that if you read the envelope. I'm 19...20... it seems wrong to say I'm 20 when I won't be for another 3 weeks but at the same time I'm not really 19. I'll go ahead and call it 1919/20 (which does not reduce). I live in Pullman, WA for most of the year but I also call Vancouver, WA home because that's where I grew up.
My handy guide tells me that now I should tell you that I admire your work and what exactly I like about it. This is where the letter becomes two-fold. Yes, you are a hockey player. Not only are you a hockey player but you're a hockey player on my favorite team. So I do really admire that and I try to see a game every time I'm in town.
More than your talent on the ice, which is tremendous by the way. I really admire your writing. I love reading your blog. Every post is either thought provoking or elicits laughter from me, As a stressed out college student who writes her own blog I really appreciate this. I'd like to commend you on breaking the dumb jock stereotype. Anyone who can use the word ineptitude correctly and maintain proper grammar while writing late at night is anything but dumb in my book. So keep up the good work.
Thanks for reading, have a great day, and go Hawks go!
