And now, let's move on...
Sometimes I come across the most bizarre shit. This is one of those things that just makes me laugh and shake my head.
These are letters that belonged to a woman named Shannon. She received them from friends she made while staying at the Aspen Achievement Academy. So what is the Aspen Achievement Academy? Well, here's a snippet from Wikipedia:
Aspen Achievement Academy enrolled adolescent males and females, ages 13-17, with a history of moderate to severe emotional and behavioral problems, such as low self-esteem, academic underachievement, substance abuse, and family conflict. The program had a flexible length of stay, with a minimum of 35 days. Some parents use the services of a teen escort company to transport their children to the site.
Isn't that FUN?
So for your reading enjoyment, I'm posting scans of the letters Shannon received.

I really wish I could blog 24/7. There's so much stuff sitting here that I'm just dying to share with all of you! Alas, you'll have to wait until I have time.

AAA - is that one of the wilderness programs where teenagers die?
I went to Aspen too. Back in 2009 I think.
Me too. 2006.
