Drops Of Jupiter (a nonsensical rant inspired by a song by the same name)

well, hi.

Firstly, i hope that you're having fun out there in the milky way. How is Pluto? Is it as cold as everyone said it would be? I hope you managed to cheer him up and all. What with all the racket that people down here made about Pluto being a lesser planet. How can we demote a planet like that? It doesn't matter if it is named after the god of the underworld, don't they know, Pluto is sensitive.
But you. I bet you've already found a way to cheer him up.

Thanks for that last letter.You know, I could understand most of it except for the part where Aquarius and Leo was involved. What was that suppose to mean? It looked like Aquarius was dunking Leo in the water vessel, is that what it was? I just don't get it.
How did you do that anyway? How did you write stories from constellations? It seems so fascinating to me but I guess I'll never know will I?
Me.
Earth dweller.Ground walker.
I've never even been to the bottom of the deepest part of the ocean. Never even walked the trench. Too scared of the sharks, of the unknown, of that one eyed fish with its lamp-like antennae (I've seen it in a Doraemon paperback once and let me tell you, it don't look nice). Heck, it is possible that I would even get freaked out by the planktons being the illogical worrywart that I am.
I bet you're thinking the same- "Yeah, she's always been an illogical worrywart".
You always were the free spirit, and I, the shackle.
Oh well, let's not start again.

As I am writing this, (and I am writing this under the open sky, just like how we used to wrote) the sky is not that clear. The clouds are jealous of you, you know. They can only travel the troposphere, so you have to understand why they are being so difficult.
Despite this, Orion is beautiful at any rate. Orion was always your favorite did you remember?
And because it was yours, eventually it became mine too.
All those stars- Betelgeuse and Rigel and Bellatrix and The three Marys.
They have become exceedingly familiar to me- Even if it only means waving to them from down here.

Why did you go after that shooting star anyway?
