Re: [postcard: scully & mulder]
[Likewise, but earth tone.]
I might just be the furthest thing imaginable from an FBI agent, but wikipedia is helping me bridge the gap. I did look up the artwork of Mr. Gacy and can now say with complete confidence that I will never sleep again. A shaky sleep schedule might be a significant feature in the lives of UFO-hunting FBI agents. So thanks, I guess.
Scully, I am also a killer. I honestly was not expecting your forthcoming answer, although I knew it was a possibility. I think that asking it was a means of paving the way to tell you the truth about my own self. I know that we don't exactly know one another, but thank you for telling me. I could justify my own circumstances for having killed, but it isn't something that I'm at all proud of. In fact, it is a source of great shame for me.
Is it quixotic to hope for everything from one person? I guess I'm asking if you believe in true love? If so, have you had it or are you holding out for it?
I do believe in evolution. It would be easier for me to make a list of my scientific beliefs than any religious sort. But I'm no astrophysicist, so I only have an entry level understanding of the big bang. Extrapolating on it as if I actually knew what I was talking about it would be a waste of precious space on these cards. As for what I think, I think that it is amazing. Our lives and everything in it. Love. Pain. The pain that comes from love. I think that we're matter, and there is anti-matter. There is every element of the periodic table that we know of so far scattered completely across space. There's gravity and magnetism and all of these curious factors that came together just so. There are billions and trillions of things that could have gone differently, but they didn't and we're here because of it. Having a conversation because of it. I don't know if everything is orchestrated or if it is really all chaos. It's amazing to me either way.
There are several things that would make a person not worth saving in my eyes. I've seen darkness in the world and I'm not a fan of it. I'm also probably not the person to make the call on what is and isn't too dark to deserve a second chance. It's a good thing I'm not a doctor in charge of saving lives.
No, these are not one-handed letters, Scully. I have to admit that they are very pleasant though, and I have a tendency to show a difference side of myself when things are unpleasant. I suppose we all do.

P.S. I got my egg rolls as well as hot and sour soup. [No mention of the fortune, although it is also taped to the bottom of a card.]
