In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Oh hi, Erin Sweetie. How are you feeling today? I pray you are feeling healthy and confident. It's just another mundane day here for me. I fell back to sleep after the dawn prayer, woke up at 9 am, cleaned the cat room, took a shower and went to pay the bills, I had rice vermicelli soup for breakfast and stuffed won tons for lunch, changed the spark plug on my motorcycle, voice trained, went to buy a can of tomato soup, baby powder and a loaf of bread for my parents, cut the grass over at my grandparents' grave, had noodles in fish broth for dinner, now I'm writing to you.
I've played the Sims before, not Sims 3 but I remember that it was impossible to backtrack. Perhaps if I wiped out the hard drive and reinstalled the program. But I'm REALLY studying up for this game, so I don't make many errors, and get a nice house designed for you. And my goal is to build your house. I was thinking about playing as a single Sim, but as far as I remember, Sims die if they're lonely, so I'm going to have to play with a Sim of you. We will be married. Perhaps we've always been married. God, I wonder how long it will take me to build that house... Say, how about you install the same game and the same situation on your computer? I would be curious to see how your Sim couple of us would turn out. Don't worry about me: if I make a mistake, I'll just wipe out the hard drive and start again. I'll make absolutely sure my Sim couple have a happy ending. InshaAllah. Oh wait, this manual says I can save multiple games! That's nice. Hey, maybe I will play as a single Sim, but how do I fit you onto your house? Oh wait, the goal is to build the house. Duh.
Erin, please try to slow down and take good care of yourself, OK? I want you to be happy, and happy with me. I love you, and I need you.

Letter to Erin 20150416
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Aw Erin, you're such a sweetheart. And you're so beautiful. I really love you, and I need you.
Have you been working on your house plans? I'm not talented in drawing, not even when aided by a computer. Did I tell you I bought some computer equipment yesterday? It was an external DVD drive, something that can read the software around here. So I finally have a home design software that I can deal with: the Sims 3! Well even then, it's going to take me some time to design a house, not because I'm such an idiot at drawing, but also because I don't even have a concept yet. I would rather go by your house plans, Erin. Perhaps you can show me what you have so far?
Let's see... design a Sim... face, eyebrows, lips, nose, hair... lifetime goals, personality... You know what, Erin? It's going to take me a very LONG time to design a house on this program.
There is no escaping from God. We feel that we can drown out reality, but it only makes us confront it. Especially when the drugs and alcohol wear off. The other option is to embrace it. Plunge into the vortex. And let me tell you Erin, that Allah will grant us a speedy victory. InshaAllah.

Letter to Erin 20150415
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hi Erin! How are you feeling today? Are you feeling like a million dollars? Well, you are so precious to me. My beautiful Erin.
Today, I went downtown first thing in the morning to pick up a welfare payment from the government. Which is great, of course. Alhamdulillah. I used the money to buy some computer equipment, and lighting for my little house. I got an LED tube to replace my fluorescent tube, and I bought a fixture too. The salesgirl said it was a piece of cake to change, with a simpler design than the fluorescent fixture. The problem was that it's on my ceiling. and my ladder is short and so am I. Plus I'm short sighted. I had to climb up to the top rung of my ladder to do the work, and these feet don't offer much balance. Then I was squinting to drive the screws in. At one instant, the screw fell to the floor and I didn't know it, so I spent some time turning and turning the screwdriver, wondering why nothing was happening. Good thing my bedroom is air conditioned. It took me a good one and a half hours to finish the job. I just got done, and I haven't had dinner yet. But I thought I would write this letter first, then eat after the night prayer. Something quick. I'm thinking noodles.
Cats can get pretty annoying when they're in heat. But not little ----. She's so cute. Everytime I pet her, she says the same thing: Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Sometimes I don't even have to touch her, and we would engage in long conversations together of the same topic: Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? What was the question again?
Say, this LED tube is pretty cool. It should last about 30 years or so. No, I didn't waste anything. The old tube I got from the next room, so now it's time to put it back. It's about time this place had some real light. Erin, I hope you are feeling great. I love you so much, and I want you to be happy. I need you.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hello, my beautiful Erin. You are MY girl! Mine, mine, MINE! So please don't be blue, because the one I want to marry is you.
This time, it's ----'s turn to go into heat. She's not a howler like ----. Rather, she prefers to hang onto my foot wherever I go, so I would have a cat weight when I try to walk. Which is not advisable, because my feet are injured, so my balance isn't perfect, and I might trip and accidentally squash her. However, it is convenient to pet her with my foot, which is acceptable to her as well. A cat in heat really appreciates being petted, but I'm afraid I can't sit there all day and pet her. I wanna pet you!
I had a hankering for eggplant today, since the Iron Chef eggplant battle came up on TV while I was voice training. So I bought a kilo of green eggplant at the night market. I deep fried half of them, then arranged them neatly in a round baking pan. Then I smothered them with my marinara sauce, and put cheese on top. Then I baked it. So for dinner is baked eggplant with marinara sauce and cheese, with sirloin steak on the side. Oh, it's so yummy! Alhamdulillah! Would you like to join me for dinner, Sweetheart? Munchkin? Pudding Pie? Oh, I have to eat alone? Oh well, c'est la vie. But I love you. And I need you.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
You're such a sweetheart, Erin. I believe that you have a pure heart, and that's what I love most about you. I don't want you to change that. But you just can't be friends with everybody. I'm afraid it's impossible for someone in your position. It's even impossible for a complete nobody to be friends with everybody. But you want a career, and since you are at the top mashaAllah, you're going to have very few friends. Friends that matter, that is. Does that make you sad? No, I'm sure you are mature enough to know that.
There are 3 types of people you must not be friends with, in fact Allah forbids that you befriend them. They are the people who fight you for your Islam, the people who try to force you out of your home, and the people who help the people who try to force you out of your home.
I'm certain now that that black and white spotted cat who punched Bob Cat in the eye is actually after Floofy. Bobby was probably trying to protect his mother all this while. Today I saw that other cat face Floofy off while Bobby was absent. I chased him off, but I just can't seem to get a good hit with my stick: there are too many trees in the way. But if he's persistent, than I can be patient. One day inshaAllah, my aim will be true.
I wish I were with you but since I can't be, I want you to take sweet loving care of yourself in my absence. Erin, you are so very precious to me. I love you, and I need you.

15. Now then for that, call and stand steadfast as you are commanded. Nor follow their vain desires but say, "I believe in the Book which Allah has sent down, and I am commanded to judge justly between you. Allah is our Lord and your Lord. For us our deeds, and for you your deeds. There is no contention between us and you. Allah will bring us together, and to God is the final goal."
