dear lj,
please don't spotlight this community. i love reading everyone's posts so much that i would be sad if it was inundated with so many that i'd want to take it off of my friendslist.
pleaseeee?

also,
dear several unnamed persons,
um. please don't ask to have a party at my house, or insinuate that we will be having a party at my house, or talk about having a party at my house, or ask to be invited to a party at my house. yes, my parents leave every weekend. but i don't use that so i can host keggers, or allow you to host keggers. because you see, 1) my house (even the family room and the basement, where we'd probably have a party) is decorated with stuff that isn't conducive to cleaning, 2) i don't want to clean up after you and 3) i barely know you!! oh and 4) i live next to a cop. so stop asking. you may not party here.
i may, and select friends of mine may, but we certainly will not have a keg. sorry!
-me.
and finally:
dear guy i work with,
look. i have nothing against mexicans (i can't stand racists in general, actually), so don't tell me "liz no gusta mexicanos." i know what that means and it isn't true. when i ask you to leave me alone, that generally means stop touching me and stop staring at me. everybody else is cool, but you make me really uncomfortable, and you know that. sure, it's kind of awkward to be told i have a great figure, but in context, that wasn't too bad. calling me princessa and senorita and all that jazz, not so bad either. but that's where everybody stops. you, sir, are annoying me. and i really don't want to call corporate, because that'd suck for both of us. so please, don't make me ask again? thank you.
