Now I rather want to see Ozy and Millie in first grade.

Yes...I could see Millie writing a threatening letter to her future self. I can't remember if I ever did that or not. If I did, it must've got lost in the mail.

I am unsure as to what it is you're insinuating here.
Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

Ozy's a smooth operator. Just dial 0!

Well, talking zeros, that's another Zen thing. 0 being off, 1 being on kinda reaction to 'it'. "It" being whatever situation you are in, and the decisions involved with it. You know, how relevant it is... yes or no? High or low priority? And Etc?
But Zen again, hehe, my thoughts are just that: mine.
We'll see what happens, not my call: Belongs to writer.

I'd say he was making a reference to Enso, an important Zen symbol, a circle with an occasional opening in the left side.

I have to agree with Octan on this one. I already read past letters before... horrible.
If you put peanutbutter anywhere on your body, I'll lick it off...

ANYWHERE.

Here's a thought: Let the letters be audio recordings instead. You can make the mp3 equivalent of Krapp's Last Tape.

I have to agree with that one, too. As I get older, there is a constant stream of experiences that I will look back on and say to myself "Man, was I a doofus back then!" And I'm only 25 now. I wonder what kinds of things I'm doing now that my future self will be ashamed of me for.
It is a mistake to fancy that horror is associated inextricably with darkness, silence, and solitude. I found it in the glare of midafternoon, in the clangour of a metropolis...
