alright guys! it's a game: help fiona decide what the hell she's going to do with herself for the next four years.

the players:

williams said to me, "no fiona! you suck! don't even think about going here! unless you happen to be selected as the one single person we take of our wait list every year! anyway, go away and don't talk to us no more, you silly person." well, it was a little more eloquent than that. but basically boils down to that. anyway. no surprises there. i ( Read more... )
