not to be offensive but... mlle_une_telle April 21 2005, 13:43:58 UTC

i'm glad you didn't write that yourself or else i'd be mad at you.

oh true that

Re: not to be offensive but... eastmeetswest April 21 2005, 22:47:43 UTC

because...?

Re: not to be offensive but... mlle_une_telle April 22 2005, 08:45:42 UTC

well, most importantly, it is very poorly written in that there are grammatical errors that make me cringe and therefore sad that the subject matter is supposed to be about college?

Yeah, I'm gonna have to side with the "not to be offensive" faction on this one. Whoever wrote all that overly sentimental drivel should definitely consider a career writing greeting card messages for Hallmark.

I don't understand. What's wrong with being overly sentimental?

It's in the phrase: keyword=overly. "Overly sentimental" is necessarily something over the top. So your question is whether the piece is overly sentimental or not. I find it unnecessarily sweet, but mostly I just don't like the writing.

I disagree fadingmelody April 23 2005, 00:56:54 UTC

I don't think it is overly sentimental...I think it really does describe the way that I and many people I know feel. I'm with Denny on this one, and will steal bits and peices for myself, ;)
