I finally figured out what I wanted to write. I searched out my ink and quill like pen and got to writing. I wrote a little about why I was doing it, how they could contact me, and how I hope someone will find it. Just so it wasn't a boring looking letter, I decided to have fun with it. I got a lighter and burned the edges and some parts of it, but ended up having too much fun with fire and set off the smoke alarm. That sound always puts Boris into freak mode. He starts to whine, run around and look at me like the world is ending. At least I know if the house was ever on fire and the alarm wasn't enough to wake me up...Boris would let me know.
Then I tore off the paper from an old wine bottle and cleaned it out. After it was dry enough I rolled up the paper and stuffed it inside. I sealed the bottle verrrry tight then used super glue on the edges. After that was dry, I used my wax set and sealed it up and engraved an "A" on the top with my wax stamper. I always enjoy using my wax stamper, it just makes everything look more official. Also, I always end up burning one of the tips of my fingers from the dripping wax.
So the longest and hardest part of this was finding somewhere to throw it. I asked a few people if they knew anyone with a boat; I looked into ferry's; but ultimately I ended up going to a long pier at the ocean front. So I gathered my bottle and headed down to the pier. It was beginning to get dark so i hurried to the end of the pier, but to my surprise there was people everywhere! By the looks at it, it was official go fishing day and stand all around the pier edges so Ashley has no where to throw her bottle. I decided to wait a bit and just relax on the bench and watch some waves and gulls. That turned into over an hour of me just sitting there, watching waves and thinking different thoughts ( I had a good time just sitting and thinking). I looked around and saw a open spot and headed towards it. It was freezing at this point, so I went over, took a firm hold of the bottle and threw it as far as I could. Everyone that was around me instantly stopped what they were doing and looked at me and what I had thrown. There was a ominous talk of "what was that", "what did she throw", and "weird", but I just turned around and started to walk off the pier. I had a sense of " I did it" and just glad I was heading to my warm car! I hope someone does find it, and not a day from now but in a while. Also, if any of you actually find it, humor me and contact me.
