hey, so i was scrolling through the NY Times, and saw this contest going on: MODERN LOVE: College Essay Contest. for some reason, they want to know about young love (or heartbreak or suppressed love-anger), and the winner gets $1000 and publication of his/her story in the Times in May. i know some of you are still undergrads, so GET TO IT. :DD

NOOOOOOOOO! I hate being Aussie sometimes. :( No, but anyway, my love life is not overtly interesting, so it's actually a good thing I can't participate, I'd just end up filling it up with a lot of silly whining, haha. Are you doing it?

[hesselives]

;___;

were the rules more inclusive, i'm sure you could snag a fic you've already written, tailor it to the contest, and voila! you win. ♥

lol, i graduated in January, so alas, this contest is not for me. (i am itching to submit something completely incoherent and title it "Bad Romance," though.)

[epistolic]

Hahaha, YOU KNOW ME BEST. I totally would have done that. And they would never have known. ♥

Aw, damn, so close! NO SERIOUSLY CREATE ANOTHER IDENTITY FOR YOURSELF AND DO IT DO IT DO IT I WOULD SO READ AN INCOHERENT PIECE TITLED BAD ROMANCE

[hesselives]

and the Times editors would've exclaimed, "my goodness, who is this brilliant girl who travels the world, stocking up on AK47s and drinking her sorrow away in hotel bars?" and their faces would look approximately like this: ♥___♥

LOL, I LIKE THE WAY YOU THINK. THOUGH I WOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY LESS BADASS THAN THAT GUY WHO IMPERSONATED A PRIEST AND GOT HIMSELF INTO THE VATICAN. BUT, UH, PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING I'VE EVER WRITTEN FOR THIS FANDOM IS INCOHERENT AND COULD BE CALLED BAD ROMANCE. :3

Haha! American and undergrad. Now, the love part may be a problem... I'll make something up.

basically a lot of Dido!rage directed at Aeneas. my English teacher was a little concerned for me after that
XDD

[hesselives]

ISN'T THE LOVE PART ALWAYS THE PROBLEM? LOL. I HOPE YOU'RE GOING TO PEN THE DEFINING STORY (OF LOVE AND WAR AND PEACE AND TWITTER) OF OUR GENERATION. ♥

[incandescent]

I WILL. I WILL DO IT! *determined face*

I just have to figure out when.

akjhfg HI HI I GOT YOUR PACKAGE OMG IT'S SO NICE, AND christ, your writing couldn't be more perfect if it were printed! How on earth do you get it so pretty and neat! :OO haha I did get confused by the cigarette holder because it smelt distinctively smokey but your wrote hairpin on the package and I was like BUT I DON'T THINK I CAN GET THIS ON MY HEAD D: I'm looking forward to trying out the tea, esp the mango ceylon hmm omnom. (dammit, I need to make it to the post office still akljdfghkajldf)

[hesselives]

HELLO. YAY YOU GOT IT. ♥ ahaha, er, lots of practice? *__* also, stealing. (i stole the way i write 'd' from a friend of mine~ sorry, friend of mine! /O\) lol, oops, i think i confused the customs form with another package i sent (which did include an actual hairpin). THAT IS NOT TO SAY YOU COULDN'T FIND SOME WAY TO PUT IT ON YOUR HEAD IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO. JUST DON'T ACCIDENTALLY IGNITE YOUR HAIR, YES? because that would make me sad. ;___;

ah, don't worry about it. ;D i'm sure the Royal Mail is in no hurry to mail things...ever. (my last package to jeanne arrived SIX WEEKS LATE. ARGH. *shakes fist*)
