Charlie,

Sorry for the flock of owls, but remember that gift I was going to make you? I finally got around to doing so. There's even a bonus inside. You might need me to come over and set things up, but it's really very simple. Open up the bigger parcel first! There's more instructions.

Love,
Penny


Inside the larger parcel is a CD player and another note.

Remember when I asked you about CDs? This is a CD player. I already put the batteries AND the CD in. The CD is the actual present. Just push the button that says "Power" and a light should come on. Then hit the play button (it has a triangle pointing to the right). Some of the songs are specifically for you and some of them are just really popular and everyone should know them. I just thought you'd get a laugh out of the last one.

Taped to the CD player is a list of songs:

1. “Don’t Stop Believin’” by Journey
2. “Iris” by Goo Goo Dolls
3. “As Lovers Go” by Dashboard Confessional
4. “I Remember You” by Skid Row
5. “Kashmir” by Led Zeppelin
6. “Highway to Hell” by AC/DC
7. “Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)” by Pink Floyd
8. “I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing” by Aerosmith
9. “Cherry Pie” by Warrant
10. “Livin’ on a Prayer” by Bon Jovi
11. “Hanging by a Moment “ by Lifehouse
12. “Bring Me to Life” by Evanescence
13. “Drop in the Ocean” by Michelle Branch
14. “Drops of Jupiter” by Train
15. “What’s Your Fantasy” by Ludacris

Inside the smaller package is a note taped to a glossy 5x7 photo.

Did I mention I had to do a photoshoot for the magazine? Not me taking pictures..but pictures of me. I can't show you the two they're going to use for the magazine until it's actually out later this month, but I coerced the photographer into taking this one for you. I'm awkward and I don't know if you'll like it, but here it is anyway.
