To the boy on Saturday night, you introduced yourself as "Devon" or "Evan" when I followed you from Grafton to Barrington St:

You smiled, stared back, shook my hand. I gave you a fake name and nothing else. Now I wish I had given you a real number. —Street Runner at 3AM

You probably won't see this. But on the off chance you do, maybe you'll connect the dots.

Over the past month you've hurt me a great deal, and you don't love me anymore, but I just want to say to the world that I will always have a place for you in my heart.

We're dancing to a different beat now, and although I've been angry and sad, what you've done for me is make me stronger, and for that I love and thank you. —Your bodacious boy

I have been away from the Coast for awhile, and there was no regular Moderator when I left.

Now I am easing my way back into the Bitches, and I just have to say “your tags rock”, and “it doesn’t seem like you’re over-sanitizing the bitches”.

Thanks for making things interesting again! —Glad to have you, Mod.

To the young, handsome bus driver that was driving the 159 Halifax departing from the Portland Hills Terminal at 7:30am this morning...

I ALWAYS hope that you are going to be my driver, although you rarely are. You are strikingly handsome, and your smile makes me melt. I wish you had a regular route, because I would be riding it every day. It brightens my day and makes me grateful to take public transit when you are driving! MUCH LOVE! :) —Cozy J

I see you almost every day. I walk by the shop where you work and say hi. You give me the same wary smile every single time.

I used to see you laughing with Mama's bagel nerd... I would wonder what he said to make you laugh so loud. Last week, I tried to talk to you on your smoke break. You said that on your iPod was Ariel Pink. You laughed when I asked what that means. Then you left. It made my day and it made my heart ache. I can think of something more clever. Let me try again. —Small black t-shirt please

Dear Movies: I love you.

I know sometimes you're bad, sometimes you're silly, often you're a great way to spend a couple hours.

Lately though, you've been helping me get over the fact the Desert Princess has been gone for 4 months now, and there may be at least another 1 left before I pick her up at the airport.

I love that girl, movies. When she gets home I'll bring her around to see you again. You were awesome that time she and I watched you. God help me, I may bring her see Sex and the City 2, if it's still around when she's back. Probably I'll download it and we'll enjoy it at home while we get to know each other again and make up for lost time.

Thanks, Movies. You've been a good friend. See you again this week. Yours truly,

— Wheelie P

You are the best of inspiration, this is to the girl with the sunlit brown eyes:

You opened my world so much. You're the perfect person to stare up at the stars with even though you're not mine. Thank you for everything. And thanks for restoring my faith in people! You win. —Curly Haired Ginger

I know we don't get to spend too much time together on account of busy work schedules, but I cherish every moment we have together. You are truly the best friend I've ever had, and will be so until we're crotchety old bags, sitting in our rocking chairs. —Your other wife

To the individual, or group of individuals that knitted the beautiful tree cozy on the corner of Queen St. and Spring Garden, You made my day. Everything from the colors, to the patterns, to the sheer extensiveness of the article was wonderful. People have been smiling all day as they walk past.

Keep on rocking the urban love you naughty knitters! —Knitten smitten

To the crossing guard at North & Windsor - your bright and sincere smile is my favorite part of my walk to work! Thanks for making the sun shine on even the gloomiest mornings. —Coffee and cell phone in hand
