"Dear Girls Above Me..."

Background on "Dear Girls Above Me": there's this guy, Charlie McDowell,  Mary Steenburgen's son, that posts random little notes to the girls that live in the apt above him, though they don't know it. They are always out of control and he puts the things they say and do in the funniest way... Anyhow, I'm always reading the GAM posts out loud in the office, no intro, I just start, "Dear Girls Above Me..." they are often pretty entertaining and we all get a good laugh out of them (granted I edit in my workplace sometimes...).

For Example:
"Dear GAM, "He was totally faking an accent to impress us, people from Georgia talk like hicks." Georgia=USA, Georgia also=Eastern Europe."

"Dear GAM, “I had the shittiest day, all I wanna do is get wasted.” I remember you saying the same thing last week when having the best day."

"Dear GAM, In your Vegas recap, everything happened before or after "Jen passed out". You just created a new dividing point in world history."  

"Dear GAM, I wish I could have seen u guys get high (before Jen passed out) & work the casino with your "p-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face.""

"Dear Girls Above Me, I changed my wireless internet name to "JohnStamosCondo" in hopes that it might confuse & excite you. It did."

Okay, so now that I've got the background for my story:
Today a friend messaged me about something, I cocked my head to the side and read out loud in a confused tone, "Who is Jenny B?" Without a moment's hesitation, my co-worker says, "One of the Girls Above Me!!!" It was pretty awesome! Almost died laughing, so perfect! And one's name is Jen, so we gather from Charlie's posts that is...  It was awesome, even Charlie thought as much DM-ing me, "Thank you for making my day!"

I heart Charlie McDowell's Girls Above Me stories! :) Read them on Twitter too! @charliemcdowell
