ok, here goes:

Dear Rachel,

I know this note is long overdue, but I wanted to tell you how awful I feel about not keeping in touch lately. Your friendship means a lot to me, though my neglect may make that seem otherwise. Can you find it in your heart to forgive me? I'm really, truly sorry and I'd like to make it up to you -- can you pencil me in for a coffee date sometime this week/this coming weekend/next week? I miss you. And I'm really sorry.

Love,

Phinny

that's my suggestion. tweak it to make it sound like you and not me, if you'd like. i'd stay away from excuses, though, and go with contrite in conjunction with "i'll make it up to you" -- if coffee's no good, then drinks, or a walk, or a movie, something like that. what do you think? oh, and i can say for sure that if i got that note, i'd welcome you back with open arms. ;)

good luck!

hee!!! i didn't think you were actually going to do that! you rock.

so, here's the thing. that is exactly the letter i would write. i wouldn't even change anything. except... well, i already wrote her that letter. then she forgave me and we hung out. it was all good. and then i did it again. which is why i'm so stuck. 'i'm sorry again' doesn't sound as good as 'i'm sorry.' alas!

this is already a repeat?

hmmm.

can i ask why do you not call her for so long in between times? do you really want to be friends? how come this pattern is repeating itself? there is something deeper at work here, m'dear.

but, i think, if she really does matter to you, well, then say it all again. 'cause it's the truth, right? and it's best to be honest, i think.

hmmm. hmmm.

keep me posted.

Re:

well, you can ask but i have no good answer. i do this sometimes. bad bad habit made much worse by lj and on-line friends. i don't call people. and i procrastinate about everything, even fun things like calling up rachel to hang out. yeah. not a good way to go about things in general. i'm working on it. really.
and yes, i'll say it all again. because i have to.
::sigh::
