Dude, I totally know which contest you're talking about! I hopes you win, Suz. I mean...I hate you? :D (Something quick I noticed about the whole essay: Shouldn't you capitalize ...

Adna shouldn't have to apologize for being harsh, because I think her summary was pretty accurate. You're a human being, not a robot; why splice together a bunch of Hallmark ...

Hey lex! I see you're new to YWS. I noticed that you posted two poems in one day and also that you haven't written any reviews, so I thought I'd ...
